Altena 48 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until January 19, 2026.
Spacious and Thoughtful Layout for Comfortable Stay Onboard
Inside, the Altena 48 offers a generous living space with a headroom of 2.05 meters, providing a pleasant sense of space. The accommodation is equipped with six fixed berths and three additional sleeping options, allowing the ship to accommodate larger groups or families. The layout is practical and straightforward, with a cozy dining area, a well-equipped galley with a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and hot water supply, and a separate shower and toilet area. The electric toilet is connected to a 300-liter waste tank, enhancing comfort during longer stays onboard.
The hot air heating allows for comfortable sailing even in the early and late seasons. Thanks to the large 1000-liter water tank and a 750-liter diesel tank, the ship is suitable for longer trips without frequent stops.
Dual Engines and Stable Sailing Characteristics
The Altena 48 is equipped with two Mercedes OM312 diesel engines, each with 90 hp. These inboard engines provide a cruising speed of approximately 15 km/h and a top speed of about 19 km/h. The engines start electrically and are equipped with instruments such as a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. The fuel consumption is around 5 liters per engine per hour, which is favorable for a ship of this size.
The V-bottom hull contributes to stable and steady sailing, even in changing conditions. The presence of both a bow and stern thruster makes maneuvering in harbors or narrow waterways simple and stress-free. The dual steering – inside and outside – offers flexibility in different weather and sailing conditions.
Navigation and Electrical Equipment
In terms of navigation, the Altena 48 is well-equipped with a Raymarine chart plotter, GPS, compass, log/speedometer, radar, and VHF radio. This equipment allows for safe and accurate navigation, even on larger waters. The electrical installation consists of four batteries with a total capacity of 440 Ah, a battery charger, alternator, inverter, shore power connection, and a solar panel, contributing to the ship's autonomy.
Exterior Equipment and Safety
On deck, the Altena 48 is equipped with a bimini for shade on sunny days, sturdy guardrails, fenders and lines, a swim platform, and davits for possibly hanging a dinghy. The anchor is attached to a chain and operated with a manual winch. For onboard safety, there is a lifebuoy and an electric bilge pump.
Versatile Ship for Recreational Use
The Altena 48 is a versatile motor yacht suitable for various purposes, such as day trips, weekend stays, vacations, or even semi-permanent living onboard. Thanks to its stable sailing characteristics and ease of use, the ship is suitable for both novice and experienced skippers. The combination of space, comfort, and practical equipment makes this ship an attractive choice for those looking for a classic steel motor yacht with character.
With its origin in the Netherlands and a recent interior refresh in 2025, this Altena 48 offers a solid foundation for new adventures on the water. Whether you want to explore calm inland waters or plan longer trips over rivers and coastal areas, this ship offers the possibilities and comfort to fully enjoy sailing.
