Specifications
Waterland 750 de Oxum
A classic cruiser with character
The Waterland 750 de Oxum is an atmospheric cabin boat from 1982, measuring 7.20 metres in length and 2.75 metres in beam. She combines classic styling with a practical layout for day trips, relaxing weekends and recreational cruising on inland waterways. In the supplied description, she is also referred to as a Waterland 700. However, the main specifications state Waterland 750. Her compact size makes her easy to handle and manoeuvre, while the cabin provides sufficient space for a comfortable stay on board.
The dark-blue hull, light-coloured superstructure, stainless-steel guardrails and wood- or teak-look finish give the Oxum a distinctive appearance. She is a boat that immediately stands out on the water without losing her practical character. Her size is particularly well suited to canals, narrow waterways and lakes. The air draught is approximately 2.20 metres and the draught around 65 centimetres, making her suitable for many Dutch inland waterways.
Waterland 750 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until and including 21 September 2026.
What is the layout on board?
Inside, the boat has a cabin with a dining area, mattresses and two fixed berths. There is also space for one additional berth, making her suitable for a short stay with up to three people. The interior headroom is approximately 1.90 metres. This makes the cabin practical for taller adults and provides comfortable freedom of movement during a weekend on board.
The raised and enclosed helm position is one of the Oxum’s distinctive features. The helmsman is sheltered from wind and rain, while the steering wheel is operated from inside the cabin. This means she can also be used comfortably in changing weather conditions. The interior space also forms an extension of the cabin and can serve as a sheltered seating area while cruising.
For staying on board, there is a cooking appliance, refrigerator, shower, manual toilet and a water tank with a capacity of approximately 60 litres. The toilet outlet discharges directly into the surrounding water. There are also interior and exterior cushions, a cockpit tent and a cover. The inventory supplied includes fenders, mooring lines, two wine coolers, a generator, a captain’s chair and various electrical and kitchen appliances already on board.
What engine does the Oxum have?
The boat is powered by a four-cylinder Peugeot Indenor diesel engine from 2003. The engine is an inboard engine with electric start and a stated output of approximately 34 hp. The fuel tank has a capacity of around 20 litres. According to the main specifications, the cruising speed is approximately 6 kilometres per hour, while the description mentions approximately 9 kilometres per hour. The maximum speed is stated as around 15 kilometres per hour.
The diesel engine is operational, but requires attention. Some issues have been reported, and the raw-water intake is believed to have become partially blocked after a plastic bag was sucked in. A prospective buyer would therefore be well advised to have the engine, cooling-water supply and entire cooling system inspected by a specialist after purchase. The engine was insulated in the past to reduce noise levels. The characteristic sound of the diesel engine remains present while cruising, in keeping with her classic propulsion system.
Is she suitable for canals and inland waterways?
Yes, the Waterland 750 is particularly interesting for use on inland waterways, canals, ditches, lakes and rivers. Her semi-displacement hull, limited draught and compact dimensions make her suitable for relaxed cruises in urban areas and on recreational waterways. The single rudder system and steering wheel provide familiar handling.
The Oxum was specifically used for cruises through cities. Her sheltered wheelhouse proved useful there, while her size was practical when passing under bridges and navigating narrower canals. Her classic appearance attracts attention along the way. According to the owner, people regularly took photographs when she cruised through the city, especially in the evening when the lighting was reflected on the water.
What equipment is present?
In terms of electrical equipment, she has a battery charger, inverter, voltmeter and solar panel. The system operates at 12 volts and there is one battery on board. A fuel-tank gauge and temperature gauge are fitted. A compass is available for navigation. The electric bilge pump helps keep the bilge dry. There is also an electric windlass with chain, an anchor, a lifebuoy and a swimming ladder.
Outside, the boat offers a cockpit with cushions, a cockpit tent, a cover and sturdy stainless-steel guardrails. This allows her to be used both open and under cover. The combination of inside steering and a practical outdoor space makes her suitable for both short afternoon trips and longer days on the water.
What is the condition of the boat?
The overall condition is described as fair. The boat dates from 1982 and shows signs of use consistent with her age and her use as a classic cruiser. Over the years, she has been modified and modernised, including the enclosed and raised helm position. The last time she was taken out of the water for maintenance was in 2024. The most recently stated antifouling treatment dates from 2022.
The specifications list the material as steel, while the historical description refers to a polyester Waterland. Prospective buyers are therefore expressly invited to inspect the boat and its construction themselves or have it assessed by a specialist. The engine installation also deserves additional attention because of the reported issues and the possible blockage of the raw-water intake. The Oxum is therefore particularly interesting as a solid basis for someone looking for an affordable diesel cruiser with character and willing to carry out technical inspections and further improvements.
Who would be interested in this Waterland?
The Oxum will appeal to a buyer looking for a classic Waterland cruiser with a warm appearance, sheltered helm position and practical cabin. She can be used for day trips, leisure cruising and weekend outings for two people or a small group. Her sleeping accommodation, cooking facilities, refrigerator, toilet and heating make longer stays on board possible.
Anyone dreaming of peaceful cruises through historic canals, along rivers or across reed-fringed lakes will find an atmospheric starting point in this boat. The Waterland 750 requires a realistic assessment of her age and technical points requiring attention, but in return offers character, space and a distinctive appearance. The Oxum is not an anonymous boat, but a classic cruiser with a story of her own and plenty of possibilities for her next owner.
