Bueltjer Motorsailer

Very beautiful motor sailor from Bültjer. The shipyard on the North Sea was known for its wooden ships, built to excellent quality. Viewing by appointment. Please inquire about all details.

Let the owner tell the story himself:

Bültjer motor sailor – A cutter yacht with soul, history, and future

Some ships are more than just floating objects. They carry a soul within them, an aura of tradition, craftsmanship, and maritime history. This Bültjer motor sailor, built in 1979 at the famous Bültjer shipyard in Ditzum on the Ems, is just such a ship.

Here, no fishing trawler was converted, but a true cutter yacht was created from scratch – with the aim of combining seaworthiness, robustness, and comfort.

This ship is a piece of boatbuilding history, lovingly maintained, extensively restored, and ready for new adventures. It tells stories of wind, waves, and endless horizons – and is now waiting to find a new owner who will continue this journey.

Whoever decides on this Bültjer motor sailor is not just buying a ship – they are taking over a piece of maritime culture, a reliable companion, and a floating home with history.

This cutter yacht is ideal for sailors and owners who appreciate tradition, quality, and substance – and who are eager for new journeys with a ship that has character.
