Description

We present to you this Holterman 53, an all-steel motor yacht from 2006, built by Holterman Shipyard BV and designed by Vripack Yacht Design BV. A solid, classic yacht with a round-bilged hull and CE-A certification, designed for comfortable and safe cruising under various conditions.

The vessel sits solidly in the water and offers smooth, stable handling thanks to its robust steel hull and superstructure. Propulsion is provided by a 420 hp Caterpillar C7DI six-cylinder diesel engine, coupled to a V-drive with a water-lubricated 50 mm propeller shaft and a 5-blade stainless steel propeller. Maneuvering is easy and precise with the hydraulically proportional Vetus bow and stern thrusters, controlled via joystick from the helm station or the Hydronautica RMC remote control.

For onboard comfort, considerable attention has been paid to the interior and amenities. The warm cherry wood interior with beige upholstery creates a classic and refined look. The wheelhouse houses the bright saloon with a panoramic view and an electric sliding roof, while the galley with a spacious seating area is located amidships below. The owner's cabin is located aft, featuring a freestanding double bed and a private bathroom with a Tecma toilet and a separate shower with a glass door. Forward, the guest cabin has a V-berth and private sanitary facilities, with separate toilet and shower. Both bathrooms have towel radiators for added comfort.

The galley is fully equipped with high-quality Miele and Liebherr appliances, including a 4-burner Schott Ceran cooktop, a combination oven with microwave and grill, a 233-liter refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The saloon features a Liebherr wine cooler. Hot water and heating are provided by a Kabola B12T heater, which distributes heat throughout the ship via radiators. For cooling, a Webasto air conditioning system (20,000 BTU) provides cool air throughout the ship. A water filtration system ensures clean drinking water.

Outside, the deck, gangways, cockpit, and swim platform are fully covered in teak. The cockpit features beige leather cushions and a teak table with a varnished edge. The swim platform is accessible via spiral stairs and has a fold-out stainless steel ladder. The boat is equipped with an electric Quick anchor winch and an integrated stainless steel stern anchor. A stainless steel railing with sliding openings runs all around for easy access.

The Holterman 53 is equipped with a complete electrical system and recently installed batteries: two Optima RedTop starter batteries (2024) for the engine, eight Mastervolt Gel service batteries 12V/200Ah (2026), and a separate Optima RedTop starter battery (2024) for the Mastervolt Whisper 12 Ultra generator (12 kW). Charging and invertering are handled by Mastervolt Ultra Mass Combi units, making the vessel fully operational independently.

For navigation and safety, the ship is equipped with Simrad equipment (autopilot, chartplotter, log/depth), a VHF radio, searchlight, and emergency steering. Vetus Roll Damping stabilizers ensure stability in choppy waters or longer voyages, significantly reducing the ship's rolling motion and ensuring a comfortable onboard experience. Three electric bilge pumps and an automatic fire extinguishing system in the engine room complete the package.

This Holterman 53 combines solid Dutch build quality with a well-thought-out layout, high-quality equipment, and excellent sailing characteristics. We are pleased to show you this complete, comfortable, and stylish motor yacht at our sales marina in Roermond.

The Purchase Process: How Does It Work?

If you are working with a yacht broker for the first time, it’s helpful to understand how the purchase process works and what you can expect from us.
1

Orientation and Making an Offer

Do you have a yacht in mind? You can schedule a viewing without obligation to determine if the yacht meets your expectations. A technical inspection is not necessary at this stage. 

Based on your impression, you can make an offer. We act as an intermediary and negotiate on your behalf with the yacht's owner.
2

Price Agreement and Purchase Agreement

Once we have agreed on the price, we will draw up a purchase agreement. This usually includes a clause making the purchase subject to a survey by an expert. 

When signing the agreement, we request a 10% deposit. This amount will be held in a secure third-party escrow account.

3

Survey and Finalization

An expert will carry out a comprehensive survey of the yacht. If any issues are found, the seller will resolve them or compensation will be offered if you prefer to handle the repairs yourself. 

If the issues are too significant, you can cancel the purchase.
4

Final Payment and Delivery

Once the issues are resolved and you are satisfied, you pay the remaining 90%. This amount will also be securely held in the third-party escrow account. Once you confirm that the yacht meets your expectations, you will sign the delivery document. 

Only then will the funds be released to the seller, and we will schedule the official handover.
5

Handover and Transfer

Together, we will carefully review all documentation so you know exactly what you are purchasing. We will also inspect the yacht to ensure all issues have been addressed. Of course, we will provide you with explanations on the onboard equipment and key systems. 

Once everything is clear and meets your satisfaction, we will officially hand over the keys and your new boating adventure can begin.
