This makes the De Vries Lentsch 14.80 Pilothouse interesting for those looking for a motor yacht for holidays, weekend trips or even permanent living aboard, where comfort and onboard amenities truly matter.



How does she handle and how easy is she to manoeuvre?
The boat is fitted with two Ford Lehman Super inboard diesel engines of 135 hp each, electrically started and connected to wheel steering from the inside helm position. The twin rudders contribute to control and good tracking. The stated maximum speed is around 25 km/h, making her suitable for relaxed cruising on canals and rivers, but also for quicker passages when desired.



Which navigation equipment and onboard electronics are included?
On board there is an extensive set of navigation equipment, including AIS, radar, GPS, chartplotter, VHF radio, autopilot, depth sounder and log. This makes her attractive for skippers who like to plan longer routes and appreciate overview and support, both on busy inland waterways and on more open water. In terms of power supply, she is also set up for independent use. She has shore power, battery charger, alternator, inverter and voltmeter, with four batteries and a total capacity of approximately 600 Ah. In addition, there is an Onan generator with a capacity of 15 kW, which makes using 220V on board extra comfortable, for example for climate control and household appliances.



What can you expect from the deck and outdoor space?
Outside, the boat offers an inviting living environment with teak deck, guardrails, cockpit table, bow and stern seats, and a swim platform with swim ladder. Davits are present, which can be practical for lifting equipment. The self-draining cockpit and an electric bilge pump contribute to a reassuring feeling on board. The anchor is fitted with chain and an electric windlass, making anchoring and departure easier, especially when cruising with a small crew.



Which documentation and recent work are mentioned?
This lot includes an extensive documentation package, described as five binders full of papers, supplemented with, among other things, a VAT declaration and the possibility of a trial run according to the owner’s statement. The boat was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024, and antifouling was applied in the same year.
