Traditional motor yachts

Traditional motor yachts are displacement motor yachts with classic lines. Traditional motor yachts include cutters, transom yachts and flat-bottomed boats. They offer a smooth ride, are economical, low-maintenance and usually made of steel. They sit stably on the water and are often built for inland waterways. The Netherlands has a long tradition of yards building this type.

To Advice →
What is the difference between a cutter, a stern-sitting yacht and a vlet?

The main differences lie in the stern and their origins: a cutter has a rounded stern, whilst a stern yacht has a flat stern. A vlet is derived from a sturdy working boat.

Why are traditional motor yachts usually made of steel?

Steel is strong, durable and easy to shape and repair.

Can I go out to sea in a traditional motor yacht?

Some are, but most traditional yachts are built for (sheltered) inland waters. The CE design category on Water&Wind specifies, for each model, the type of waterway for which the boat is designed.
