Specifications
Beachcraft 1130 spacious cabin cruiser with low air draft
The 1978 Beachcraft 1130 is a steel cabin cruiser that invites relaxed trips on inland waterways, lakes and rivers. With a length of 11.30 metres and a beam of 3.40 metres, the boat feels surprisingly spacious, while remaining practical on routes with many bridges thanks to an air draft of approx. 2.10 metres. This makes this Beachcraft an attractive choice for those who enjoy cruising through canals, ditches and urban stretches where you’d rather not have to wait for bridge openings all the time. Her V-shaped hull and single rudder give her a distinctive handling, and steering is possible both from the wheelhouse and from outside, allowing you to choose sheltered or open cruising depending on the season and your preference.
Beachcraft 1130 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until 6 July 2026.
Inside, the Beachcraft 1130 offers a pleasant layout for weekend getaways and longer holidays. She has four fixed berths: a double bed in the bow and two single beds in the aft cabin. With a headroom of about 1.75 metres, the interior is practically arranged for everyday life on board. The dinette is a nice place to eat together, look at a chart, or simply enjoy the view through the cabin cruiser’s windows.
How comfortable is staying overnight on board?
Overnight stays are comfortable thanks to the fixed berths and the mattresses on board, so you don’t have to convert anything each time. The combination of a double bed forward and two separate beds aft makes her suitable for a couple with guests, a family, or two couples who prefer a bit of privacy. The dinette also provides a cosy living area, especially on cooler evenings when you want to sit inside.
What about cooking and hot water?
Cooking is possible on gas with the installed gas hob, and there is also an electric cooker on board, which is convenient when connected to shore power or if your energy setup is geared towards that. In addition, there is an oven, making this cabin cruiser extra suitable for longer stays. For hot water, there is an approx. 10-litre boiler, allowing you to do the dishes or freshen up briefly. There is a toilet compartment with a vacuum toilet and a small shower area, which makes staying on board that little bit more self-sufficient.
Is she suitable for longer trips without constantly refilling?
For longer trips, she is practically equipped with generous tank capacity. There are two water tanks of 240 litres each, providing a substantial supply of fresh water. There is also a 240-litre holding tank. The diesel tank has a capacity of 200 litres, which is convenient for holidays and multi-day cruises. This combination makes the Beachcraft 1130 interesting for those looking for a steel motorboat with berths and sufficient autonomy for touring lakes and rivers.
How does this Beachcraft 1130 handle and manoeuvre?
The boat is fitted with a 62 hp Nanni inboard diesel engine with approx. 1,541 running hours. According to the information provided, the engine is operational and offers sufficient power for brisk cruising and controlled manoeuvring. Steering is via a tiller and the steering position is outside, while steering from the wheelhouse is also possible. This provides flexibility: cruising outside on fine days and steering inside when the weather turns or when you want to sit sheltered.
In terms of equipment, she is fitted with a depth sounder and VHF radio, which helps with navigation and communication on busier waters. Outside you will find, among other things, fenders and lines, a guardrail and a bench, making it pleasant to sit on deck as well. There is one anchor with chain and, for safety, a lifebuoy is present. For the power supply, solar panels have been installed and a battery charger is available. On board there is also a 12-volt television with built-in DVD player, which can also be used while underway.
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2022, and antifouling was applied in the same year. There is also a heater that is new but not yet connected, offering a great opportunity for the next owner to finish her further to their own wishes. Documentation such as invoices, manuals and warranties is available according to the information provided. All in all, this is an attractive option for those looking to buy a Beachcraft 1130 cabin cruiser via Boatauction with low air draft, steel hull and a layout that invites cruising, staying aboard and exploring.
