Specifications
Cabin boat 477 steel workboat (5 metres) with trailer – compact, manoeuvrable and ideal for canals and inland waterways
This Cabin boat 477 is a compact steel cabin boat of approximately 5.00 metres in length and 1.30 metres in width, developed for practical use on inland waters, canals and ditches. Thanks to the limited draft of around 0.30 metres and an air draft of approximately 1.00 metre, this type of boat is particularly suitable for tight routes, low bridges and urban boating areas such as those found in and around Amsterdam and Haarlem. In practice, the vessel has been used commercially, including for moving small pontoons and rafts, and it has also been used for recreational boating during events. This makes it an interesting option for buyers looking for a functional steel workboat with cabin that feels at home in narrow waterways and busy city environments.

Hull, dimensions and handling in narrow waters
The steel hull provides a robust foundation that suits the character of a workboat. With its compact dimensions, the Cabin boat 477 is easy to position alongside quays, jetties and work sites, while the shallow draft helps it navigate even in shallower ditches and canals. The previous owner set the boat up as a small “push boat”, which is especially attractive for users who regularly need to manoeuvre in confined spaces or move light objects. Think of support during events, repositioning floating elements, or carrying out logistical tasks on the water. The combination of length and beam also makes the vessel easy to trailer and store, which is a practical advantage for many buyers.
Cabin and interior space: compact and functional
Inside, there is a headroom of approximately 1.00 metre, indicating that the cabin is mainly intended as a sheltered working and seating area, storage space, or a place to take cover in changing weather conditions. For those looking for a compact cabin boat with a clear focus on functionality rather than overnight comfort, this concept fits well. The cabin also reinforces the boat’s character as a work platform: being able to sit out of the wind, keep materials dry, or work under shelter during a job is often more valuable on inland waters than an extensive interior layout.
Engine: no engine installed, but preparatory components included
Important to note: there is currently no engine installed. This gives the buyer the freedom to choose propulsion to suit their needs, for example an outboard engine appropriate to the intended use, or another solution depending on the cruising area and work requirements. The sale includes various components relevant to setting up steering and controls, including hydraulic steering, a petrol tank, seat, steering wheel, and a throttle control with cables. This can simplify the process of making the boat ready to operate, as essential control components are already available.
Electrical system and deck equipment
The boat is equipped with a 12V system with a 100Ah battery capacity and a solar panel, which is practical for basic onboard consumption and for keeping the battery topped up while the boat is not in use. For navigation, a log/speedometer is fitted, useful for monitoring speed and handling on inland waters.
Maintenance and recent work
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025 and received an antifouling treatment in the same year. It is also stated that the vessel was stripped “back to bare” in 2023 and rebuilt, indicating a thorough approach to the superstructure and fit-out. In practice, the boat has mostly been in the water for short periods and cleaned after use, consistent with a working method where the vessel is often kept ashore or on the trailer.
Trailer included: ready for transport
This Cabin boat 477 comes with a road trailer without registration, adapted to the boat. The trailer is single-axle, unbraked and has a payload capacity of 750 kg, with a winch for launching and retrieval. With trailer dimensions of approximately 500 x 150 cm, this is a suitable combination for buyers who want to transport the boat between different locations or store it at home. For anyone looking for a steel cabin boat with trailer for canals, ditches and inland waterways, this is a practical complete set that allows you to move quickly from a logistical standpoint.
Overall, this Cabin boat 477 is primarily of interest to users seeking a compact steel workboat with cabin, suitable for tight waterways, with basic onboard equipment and the freedom to install the engine of their choice.
