Specifications
Jeanneau Eau Vive comfortable river boat
Anyone who dreams of relaxed cruises through canals, city waterways and calm rivers will find the Jeanneau Eau Vive a particularly appealing type of vessel. This French river boat from 1984 was designed with one clear goal: to stay on board for long periods in comfort, with the convenience of a compact air draft and a surprisingly spacious living area. With her length of 10.45 metres and beam of 3.25 metres, the boat feels substantial, while her shallow draft of around 60 centimetres invites you to reach places where many other motorboats have to turn back. That makes her interesting for anyone looking for a river boat, a houseboat feel in a manageable size, or a floating tiny house on the water.
Jeanneau Eau Vive now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 22 June 2026.
What makes this Jeanneau Eau Vive so suitable for inland waters?
She is built for inland waterways, lakes and ponds, and you can tell from her practical dimensions and layout. The air draft of approximately 2.30 metres helps her pass under many bridges, making her ideal for canals and city waterways. The polyester hull suits her year of build and the concept of this type: comfortable cruising with a stable character and plenty of living space. Steering is via an indoor wheel, so you can cruise sheltered in poorer weather while still maintaining good visibility.
What is the layout like and how many berths does she have?
The boat is set up for several people to stay on board for longer periods. She has four fixed berths and also offers additional sleeping options, up to seven berths in total when you use the layout as intended. There are two sleeping cabins: one with a double bed and one with bunk beds, where the lower bunk can be converted into an additional double bed. The dinette can also be converted into a berth. This makes her suitable for a range of plans: a weekend away with the family, holidays with friends, or comfortable cruising for two with plenty of space around you.
What onboard amenities are there for comfort and staying aboard?
On board you’ll find the amenities you’d expect on a boat you truly want to live and spend time on. The accommodation includes, among other things, a shower, dinette, mattresses, hot water and a manual toilet. The galley is complete for this segment, with a cooker, oven, refrigerator and freezer, so during longer trips you’re not dependent on shore facilities. The water tank has a capacity of approximately 225 litres, which is convenient for multi-day stays. For cooler days there is hot-air heating, extending the season beyond only the warmest summer weeks.
Outside, she is equally inviting. The cockpit table makes the aft deck a pleasant place to dine or enjoy drinks, and with the swim platform and swim ladder you can easily get back on board after a dip. The guardrails contribute to a safe feeling on deck, and fenders and lines are included. The cockpit is self-draining and there is an electric bilge pump.
What about the engine and technical equipment?
She is equipped with a Volvo Penta 2003 inboard diesel engine of 28 hp, electrically started and with four cylinders. The stated consumption is around 1.5 litres per hour, which makes her attractive for those who like to cruise a lot without every trip becoming a major fuel expense. The diesel tank is approximately 225 litres. Cruising speed is stated at around 12 km/h, with a maximum around 20 km/h, fitting the character of a comfortable inland motorboat. Instruments include a tachometer, and navigation equipment includes a compass and log/speedometer.
Electrically, she is set up for staying aboard, with 12V and 220V, shore power, alternator and battery charger. Two batteries are present. The sale also includes inventory, including life jackets and two full gas bottles, making it especially easy for a new owner to step aboard and go.
When was she last out of the water?
In 2023 the boat was taken out of the water for maintenance and antifouling was applied. The boat is in good condition, with some cosmetic points of attention on the exterior that are in keeping with her year of build. At the same time, the overall picture remains that of an atmospheric, complete river boat with plenty of living comfort and a layout you rarely find this practical.
This Jeanneau is therefore an attractive choice for anyone looking to buy an inland motorboat via Boatauction, with the feel of a tiny house on the water, but with the freedom to choose a different view every week. Viewing and bidding take place via the auction; take the time to take in her space and possibilities.
