Specifications
Sneekermeer 800 steel cabin sailboat
Anyone looking for a classic steel cabin sailboat in a pleasant size for inland waters will find an inviting companion in this Sneekermeer 800. She was built in 1973 and measures 8.00 metres in length and approximately 2.45 metres in beam. With a draft of around 1.10 metres, the Sneekermeer feels at home on lakes, canals, city waterways and ditches—exactly the waters for which this type is so popular. The boat is being auctioned via BoatAuction and offers a great opportunity for water sports enthusiasts who want to buy a Sneekermeer 800 and use and improve her step by step to their own taste.
Inside, the practical layout stands out immediately. With a headroom of approximately 1.85 metres, there is surprisingly ample room to move for an eight-metre boat. She has two fixed berths, a refrigerator and a vacuum toilet. There is also plenty of storage space on board, making her suitable for relaxed weekend trips and longer holidays on Dutch inland waters. The condition is described as reasonable; any points of attention can be seen in the photos.
Sneekermeer 800 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 22 June 2026.
What makes this Sneekermeer 800 suitable for inland waters?
She is compact enough to manoeuvre easily, yet large enough to stay on board comfortably. The combination of 8 metres length, 2.45 metres beam and 1.10 metres draft makes her suitable for a wide cruising area, from open lakes to narrow canals. The tiller steering outside provides direct contact with the rudder and suits the sailing character of this model. Her steel hull also provides a solid base for use in varying inland-water conditions.
How is the engine set-up and what can you expect?
The boat is equipped with a Yanmar 1GM 1C inboard diesel engine of 10 hp, a commonly seen choice in this segment. The engine is operational and an oil pressure gauge is present. According to the information provided, the engine was serviced by a yard at the end of 2024 and the starter battery is new. For anyone looking for a cabin sailboat with a diesel engine to motor calmly through canals or into a headwind, this is a pleasant combination. The electrical system includes 12V and 220V, making time on board a bit more comfortable.
How does she sail and which sails are included?
The Sneekermeer 800 has a single wooden mast and is supplied with three sails: mainsail, jib and storm jib. The condition of the sails is reasonable. A roller furling jib is fitted on board, making reefing and stowing the headsails underway easier. This sail plan suits relaxed cruising and gives you the option to reduce sail in stronger winds with the storm jib. For those searching for “Sneekermeer 800 sailboat” or “steel cabin sailboat”, this is a familiar and practical set-up.
What is on board for comfort during overnight stays?
She offers two fixed berths and an interior aimed at simple, functional living aboard. The refrigerator helps keep provisions cool during a weekend away. A vacuum toilet is installed, with the toilet discharge going directly into open water. In addition, there is central heating, which extends the season and can provide a pleasant temperature on board in spring and autumn as well. This makes the boat interesting for anyone looking for a cabin sailboat with heating for inland waters.
Outside, she is equipped with a teak deck, guardrails, sprayhood and swim ladder. This makes the cockpit more sheltered and boarding easier after a swim stop or from the dock. One anchor is included, secured with a line. A dinghy and trailer are not included.
In 2024 the boat was last taken out of the water and the antifouling treatment was also carried out. For buyers specifically looking for a Sneekermeer 800 with recent antifouling, this is a nice starting point for the coming boating season. The owner mentions the sailing area near Grou as one of the best memories, with many beautiful routes and plenty of free moorings. That perfectly characterises where this Sneekermeer likes to be seen: quiet cruising, anchoring or mooring up, and enjoying the landscape from the water.
This Sneekermeer 800 is a steel cabin sailboat with character, practical dimensions and equipment that invites you to put her back into full use. Review the photos carefully for the known points of attention and be pleasantly surprised by the possibilities she offers through the BoatAuction auction.
