Kaag Cruiser Deluxe – A sailing piece of Dutch water sports history
Some boats you buy with your mind.
This one you buy with your heart.
As soon as you cast your first glance at this exceptionally beautiful Kaag Cruiser Deluxe, you immediately understand that this is no ordinary motor yacht. This is a ship with a soul. A ship with a story. A ship that has been cherished for years with love, craftsmanship, and respect for the original design.
This beautiful yard-built Kaag Cruiser was completely restored in 1994 by none other than the Visch brothers themselves. A restoration where costs, time, and attention were subordinate to one goal: the preservation of a Dutch classic masterpiece.
The result can certainly be called unique.
The ship is currently in an absolute concours condition. The shiny wooden superstructure, the stunning chrome-plated brass window frames, the classic convertible top, and the perfectly maintained lines give her an appearance that you rarely encounter on the water. While modern boats often look alike, this Kaag Cruiser attracts admiring glances everywhere. In every harbor, a conversation arises. People come to look. They ask about her history. And rightly so.
Not for nothing has this ship appeared multiple times in Waterkampioen and various articles have been published about her. Complete documentation is available, as well as an impressive archive of invoices and history. A level of transparency and care that is hardly found nowadays.
Classic charm combined with reliable sailing pleasure
Under the beautiful exterior lies a reliable 53 HP Vetus diesel engine, newly installed around 1990 and with only about 1,200 sailing hours. An engine known for its sturdiness, quietness, and reliability.
On board, you experience the comfort of a much larger ship:
- Hot air heating
- Large boiler of no less than 125 liters
- Hydrophore installation
- Shore power connection
- Battery charger
- Electric anchor winch
- Deck wash pump
- Davits
- Cockpit tent
- Radio/CD player
- 4-burner stove
- Compass and log
- Searchlight
- Windscreen wiper
- Swim ladder
- Fire extinguisher
- Bronze 3-blade propeller
With a 250-liter diesel tank and 95-liter water tank, this ship is excellently suited for long, relaxing trips through the Netherlands, Belgium, or the German inland waters.
An atmosphere that you cannot recreate
Step on board and you feel it immediately.
The well-maintained Sky leather upholstery, the warm woodwork, the classic details, and the authentic appearance take you back to the golden years of Dutch water sports. You hear the calm sound of the Vetus diesel, feel the sun through the open convertible top, and see the banks slowly glide by.
This is not a boat for someone who simply wants to sail.
This is a boat for someone who enjoys arriving in a harbor while people turn to look.
For someone who wants to be proud of their ship.
For someone who understands that true quality is timeless.
For the enthusiast who sees the difference
There are many boats for sale.
But there is only one Kaag Cruiser Deluxe with this history, this restoration, this documentation, and this level of maintenance.
A ship like this rarely comes on the market and often quickly disappears to an owner who understands exactly what they have.
Are you that enthusiast?
Then don't wait too long.
Call for a viewing, step on board, and experience for yourself why so many people fall in love with this exceptional Kaag Cruiser.
Warning in advance: there is a good chance that after the viewing, you won't want to go home without her.
Make an appointment today. This is the kind of ship for which you gladly take a day off, grab the car keys, and drive with screeching tires towards the harbor. As soon as you see her lying there, you will understand why.

Vetus P4.25 – The reliable heart of this special Kaag Cruiser
Under the hood of this magnificent Kaag Cruiser lies an engine that commands immediate respect among connoisseurs: the Vetus P4.25 marine diesel engine. Recognizable by its characteristic orange engine block, which has long been synonymous with reliability, sturdiness, and carefree boating pleasure.
This powerful 4-cylinder diesel engine was installed around 1990 and has since only accumulated approximately 1,200 operating hours. For an engine of this quality, that means a very long future ahead. It is an engine specifically developed for recreational boating and has been widely used in high-quality steel motor yachts.
Anyone who opens the engine room will immediately see a well-organized and solidly built installation. The engine is equipped with a V-belt driven alternator for reliable charging capacity of the onboard batteries and features a conveniently accessible fuel filter installation at the front, making maintenance and inspection straightforward.
Built for years of boating pleasure
The Vetus P4.25 is known for its smooth operation, low RPMs, and excellent reliability. It is an engine not built for speed, but for something much more important: years of trouble-free sailing.
Whether you are gliding peacefully over the Kagerplassen, embarking on a multi-day trip through Friesland, or heading towards Zeeland, this Vetus always delivers the confidence you can expect from a quality engine.
With its four cylinders, the engine runs remarkably smoothly and with minimal vibrations. The combination of sufficient power and a calm character perfectly matches the classic nature of this Kaag Cruiser.
