Inside, she has a headroom of approximately 110 centimetres. The steering position is located inside and is operated with a steering wheel. The single rudder system matches the simple and practical character of this launch.

Beenhakker Vlet 720 now in the online auction. Everyone can place bids until 16 November 2026.
What is the layout on board?
The interior is finished with mahogany and has a warm appearance. The cockpit contains a spacious circular seating area with loose cushions. This makes her suitable for relaxed cruises with family or friends, as well as for a leisurely day on the water with a smaller group. The existing canopy and cockpit tent provide shelter from wind and light rain.
Fenders and lines are present on deck. At the stern, she has a swimming platform with a bathing ladder. An electric bilge pump is fitted to remove any water that may collect in the bilge. The equipment is therefore aimed at practical use and simple day cruising.
Which engine does this boat have?
The Beenhakker Vlet 720 is equipped with a single Mercedes OM 636 diesel engine. This four-cylinder inboard engine has a stated output of 60 hp and is electrically started. The fuel tank has a capacity of approximately 40 litres. An oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge and rev counter are fitted for monitoring the engine while cruising. The electrical system operates at 12 volts and there is one battery with a total capacity of 120 ampere-hours. The alternator is made by Bosch.
According to the available information, the engine is operational but still requires attention. The gear shifting does not work properly and the engine runs hot. A thermostat or water pump is mentioned as a possible cause. These components may need to be replaced. It is important to take this technical point into account when assessing the boat and preparing your budget. The stated cruising speed is around 12 kilometres per hour and the maximum speed is around 18 kilometres per hour, but actual performance depends on the technical condition, load and circumstances.
What work is known to be required?
According to the available information, the boat is in reasonable condition. She was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024 and received antifouling treatment in the same year. No additional maintenance documents are available. It is therefore advisable to carefully inspect the hull, engine room, propulsion system, electrical installation and interior during the viewing day.
The known technical points are particularly important. The poor gear shifting and the engine overheating especially require further investigation before you place a bid. The final costs will depend on the cause and the condition of the relevant components. The description does not guarantee any particular technical outcome.
Who might be interested in this launch?
This boat may be of interest to someone looking for a spacious steel launch for relaxed trips on inland waterways and who is willing to carry out technical work. The wide hull and shallow draught make her suitable for leisurely use, while the mahogany finish and circular seating area add atmosphere on board. She will appeal to a buyer who values a sheltered steering position, practical outdoor space and a classic appearance.
Anyone searching for a boat to buy will find in this Beenhakker Vlet 720 a model with clear signs of use and a specific technical issue. For anyone considering buying a second-hand boat, it is important not only to look at the layout and appearance, but also at the engine, propulsion system and maintenance history. Good boat-buying advice starts with a realistic assessment of the condition and the expected costs.
What should you look out for during the viewing day?
During the viewing day, you can inspect the boat up close. Pay attention to the general condition of the steelwork, the finish of the mahogany, the cushions, the canopy and the cockpit tent. Also inspect the engine room and check for visible leaks, signs of overheating or other points requiring attention. The viewing day is the opportunity to assess her condition as carefully as possible and to ask questions about the available information.
As no documentation is available, it is advisable to base your bid on what you determine yourself during the viewing day. The boat is offered in its current condition. The combination of a spacious open cockpit, classic finish and Mercedes diesel engine makes her interesting, but the required engine work must be taken into account when making your decision.
