Sloep 650 now in the online auction. everyone can bid until 24 August 2026.


Steel Sloop 650 for Relaxed CruisesThis Sloop 650 is an inviting steel sloop for anyone looking for a practical and atmospheric day boat. She was built as a vlet and was professionally fitted out and neatly finished by previous owners. Think of a steering console, a tidy rub rail all around, and comfortable custom-made cushions. The result is a low-maintenance sloop that feels at home on inland waterways, canals and ditches, as well as on lakes and rivers. With her length of 6.50 metres and beam of 2.00 metres, the boat offers a pleasant balance between onboard space and manoeuvrability—ideal as a canal boat or a sloop for relaxed leisure cruising.

The current owners bought her two years ago from two friends—a carpenter and an electrician—who built her up with care. They clearly enjoyed making the steel vlet not only functional but also cosy. That shows in the finish and in the comfort choices, such as the bimini and the exterior cushions. The reason for sale is simple: there is too little time to use her enough, while the boat is made to be taken out regularly.

Sloop 650 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 24 August 2026.What makes this Sloop 650 suitable for canals and inland waters?She is compact enough to manoeuvre comfortably in narrow stretches and easy to operate from the helm with external steering. With a draft of approximately 1.00 metre and an air draft of approximately 2.00 metres, the boat is intended for typical Dutch inland waters, where bridges, quays and mooring spots alternate. Her steel hull gives a solid feel and suits the character of a vlet: cruising calmly, mooring for a terrace stop, and then continuing through the city or along the river.

How does she run with the Honda outboard?On the transom is a Honda outboard engine: a 10 hp, 4-stroke petrol engine with two cylinders (year of manufacture 2006). The engine is operational and, according to the seller, runs as you would hope for a sloop engine: starts readily and cruises pleasantly. Cruising speed is around 10 km/h and top speed around 15 km/h, making her suitable for relaxed trips with friends or family. The fuel tank has a capacity of 25 litres, so you don’t need to refill after every outing and can easily plan a full day on the water.

What equipment and accessories are included?This steel sloop comes with a set of accessories that makes getting on the water extra easy. She is supplied with a bimini for shade on sunny days, custom-made exterior cushions for comfortable seating, and covers to protect her when not in use. Fenders and lines are also included, as well as an anchor with line attachment. On board there is a battery charger and one battery; by arrangement it can be included. Previous owners also installed speakers and a small water pump that run on the battery, adding comfort during a long afternoon on the water. The sellers indicate that some tableware such as bowls and cups may also be included, so you can be ready straight away for drinks on board.

Has any recent maintenance been carried out?She was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The most recent antifouling treatment was carried out in 2024. This gives a buyer a clear reference point for planning future maintenance and the boating season. The boat is described as a low-maintenance sloop, partly thanks to the steel construction and the chosen finish.

Is a trailer included and what can you do with it?Yes, she comes with a road trailer without registration. The trailer is braked, has one axle and six rollers, with a payload capacity of 750 kg. The condition of the trailer is described as reasonable. For many buyers this is a major plus: you can move her more easily, store her, or transport her to another region. Combined with the cover and accessories, this is a complete set for anyone looking for a sloop with trailer.

Anyone dreaming of calm cruises, some music on, and stopping along the way for a drink will find a great companion in this Sloop 650. She is ready to welcome a new owner via BoatAuction who will take her out on the water regularly again.
