Anyone looking for a steel motorboat with character, practical space and a pleasant cruising feel will find an inviting travel companion in this Zwaluwkruiser 1050. She was built in 1974 at Jachtwerf Zwaluw in Lage Zwaluwe and designed as a hard-chine cruiser that feels at home on inland waterways, lakes and rivers. With a length of 10.5 metres and a beam of 3.45 metres, the boat offers a nice balance between manoeuvrability and living space. The current owner is her third owner and used her for day trips, leisure cruising and weekend getaways, with the highlight being a longer journey in 2024 from Baasrode to Friesland and back. That says something about her suitability as a comfortable inland cruiser for those who like to venture beyond their home harbour.
She combines a practical layout with amenities that make life on board enjoyable. Inside there is approximately 1.90 metres of headroom, which makes staying in the saloon and galley comfortable. The layout offers four fixed berths plus two additional berths, making the Zwaluwkruiser 1050 suitable for a family or for guests during a weekend away. The dinette with leather cushions is a cosy place to eat, look at charts or simply enjoy the view through the windows. In the galley you’ll find a four-burner gas cooker and a fridge with freezer compartment that can run on the solar panel—handy during longer trips or quiet evenings at anchor.
The boat is powered by a Mitsubishi S6S inboard diesel engine of 92 hp from 2015, with approximately 2,000 running hours. That output suits her size well and inspires confidence when manoeuvring and when cruising in current. Cruising speed is around 12 km/h and top speed around 15 km/h, figures that match relaxed touring. On board you’ll find the usual gauges such as tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge, so you can keep a clear overview while underway. With a diesel tank of about 200 litres and consumption around 4 litres per hour, she is attractive for those who like to do longer days without constantly needing to refuel.
With an air draft of about 2.50 metres, this steel cruiser is suitable for many Dutch and Belgian inland waters, where bridge clearance often determines your route. Her draft of about 1.10 metres helps you reach shallower stretches and moorings, while the hard-chine hull contributes to stability. Steering is from inside with a wheel and a single rudder. Particularly convenient is the electric Vetus bow thruster, which makes docking and turning in tight marinas or narrow locks much more relaxed.
She is equipped to extend the cruising season. There is hot-air heating, plus heating on shore power and on diesel via Wallas, allowing you to stay comfortable in spring and autumn as well. The cockpit is a pleasant living area and is supported by cockpit tents, so you can sit sheltered when the weather turns. Outside you’ll also find, among other things, a bathing platform with swim ladder, guardrails, pulpit and stern seats, and a cockpit table—features that make time on deck inviting.
The electrical system is set up for comfortable stays on board. She has shore power, battery charger, alternator, inverter (12V 2000W), voltmeter and a Victron solar panel. There are four batteries with a total capacity of about 600 Ah, which is useful for those who like to anchor out or travel for several days. Navigation and communication are provided by, among other things, a depth sounder, compass and a VHF radio, with the Standard Horizon VHF from 2024 being a nice addition.
Life outdoors has also been considered. She is supplied with stainless-steel davits and a tender: a Zodiac 240 with a Suzuki 4 hp outboard. This makes it easy to go ashore from an anchorage or visit a quiet little beach. Also included are, among other items, an anchor with chain, fenders and lines, fire extinguisher, life jackets, mattresses, curtains and cushions, plus two custom-made boarding steps that make getting on and off easier.
This Zwaluwkruiser 1050 is being auctioned via BoatAuction and is, according to the information provided, in reasonable condition. She was taken out of the water in 2023 and also received an antifouling treatment then. For those searching terms such as “Zwaluwkruiser 1050 for sale”, “10-metre steel cruiser”, “motorboat with bow thruster”, “Mitsubishi diesel inboard” or “comfortable inland touring cruiser”, this is an opportunity to discover a complete and inviting classic that is ready for new cruising plans.
