Broker's Comments
This Aquanaut 1500 Drifter built in 2003, blends Dutch build quality with exceptional comfort and year-round boating capability. This boat was first sold to the current owner in 2016.
This boat offers spacious and comfortable accommodation if intended to be used as a live-aboard.
The owner has invested heavily into this boat and cared for her in an exceptional manner. As a matter of fact he has a new Victron charger/inverter on order to be installed soon.
A viewing is highly recommended and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
She was last out of the water in October 2025. Her underwater hull was sanded, cleaned and 3 layers of epoxy applied before anti-foul.
These boat details are subject to contract.
