Specifications
beijnes waterland 800 requiring restoration
the 1966 beijnes waterland 800 is a classic steel cabin boat with a length of 8 metres and a beam of 2 metres. she was built by beijnes and bears builder’s number 164. the boat has a chine hull, external steering with a steering wheel and a single rudder. with an air draft of approximately 1.40 metres, she is suitable for many inland waterways, canals and lakes. the draft is approximately 80 centimetres, and the interior offers standing headroom of around 1.90 metres.
this waterland 800 is not a ready-to-use boat, but a project for someone who wants to undertake technical and cosmetic work. the hull needs to be doubled around the keelson. local rust in this area has caused holes through which water is entering. as a result, the boat is taking on water and can currently only be kept afloat when the electric bilge pump runs continuously. professional repairs are essential before she can be used safely again. according to the information currently available, the estimated cost of doubling the hull is between €4,000 and €6,000. the superstructure also requires repainting.
the beijnes waterland 800 is now being offered in the online auction. everyone can place bids until 14 december 2026.
what is the condition of this boat?
the condition is described as damaged, and the beijnes waterland 800 should explicitly be considered a restoration project. the main area requiring attention is the hull around the keelson. leaks are present there and must be repaired first. the required repair is not minor maintenance, but a structural intervention on the steel underwater hull. a buyer would be advised to inspect the boat carefully during the viewing day and engage a specialist company for the work.
the boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. the last antifouling treatment was carried out in 2024. a new rubbing strake has been fitted all around. nevertheless, these works do not indicate that the boat is fully ready for use, as the leak and the condition of the keel area take priority.
which engine is installed in the beijnes waterland 800?
she is equipped with a 45 hp peugeot indenor diesel engine from 1966. the four-cylinder inboard engine is electrically started and has a fuel tank of approximately 80 litres. according to the available information, the engine is operational and runs well. the engine was recently serviced by yacht service amsterdam leslie. there are also two batteries on board, which were replaced in 2026.
the boat has a cruising speed of approximately 7 kilometres per hour and a stated maximum speed of around 10 kilometres per hour. on board are a temperature gauge, battery charger, voltmeter and shore power connection. the electrical system operates at 12 volts. because the boat is currently leaking, the operation of the engine, electrical system and bilge pump should be assessed together during the viewing day. the electric bilge pump currently on board is essential for keeping her afloat.
what is the layout on board?
the cabin provides a practical basis for short trips and weekend use. there are two fixed berths and space for two additional berths. mattresses for the berths are included. there is a cooking appliance inside, as well as a manual toilet. the toilet discharge runs directly into the open water. the boat also has a water tank of approximately 50 litres.
the outdoor area consists of a cockpit with a cockpit tent, bimini and exterior cushions. there is also a bathing platform, swimming ladder and davits. fenders and lines are included in the equipment. a compass is available for navigation. the boat also comes with a dinghy and outboard motor. no trailer is included. the estimated weight of the beijnes waterland 800 is approximately 4,000 kilograms.
what was this boat used for?
the previous owner used her for many years for short trips and leisure cruising on inland waterways, canals, ditches and lakes. she sailed, among other places, on the amstel and the vecht, near muiden and volendam, and in the area around amsterdam. the boat was used for day trips and weekends on the water. thanks to her limited draft, manageable dimensions and cabin, she is basically suitable for calm inland waters.
a distinctive feature of her history is the brass builder’s plate next to the steering wheel. the owner has memories of spending nights at anchor near pampus, cruising on the ij and having meals on the aft deck. this history gives the boat character, but does not remove the need for the current technical work. whoever buys her is therefore acquiring a classic boat with signs of use, damage and a clearly defined restoration project.
is this the right boat for you?
this beijnes waterland 800 is particularly suitable for you if you have experience with steel boats, or if you work with a boatyard or ship repairer. the hull must first be repaired before safe and carefree use is possible. the estimated repair costs are indicative and may be higher or lower after inspection. allowance should also be made for repainting the superstructure, any additional steelwork and further inspection of the technical systems.
when searching online for boat-buying tips, it is important with this example not to look only at the make, model and price, but especially at the condition of the hull. for someone looking to buy a second-hand boat with scope for their own restoration work, she may be of interest. anyone looking to buy a boat that is immediately ready for use will need to take into account that this waterland 800 requires a considerable preparation period.
what can you inspect during the viewing day?
during the viewing day, you can inspect the hull, superstructure, cabin, engine room and the equipment on board. pay particular attention to the keelson, areas with localised rust, the bilge pump and any signs of water ingress. the condition of the rubbing strake, canvaswork, cushions, dinghy and electrical installation also deserves attention. the insurance note is available as a document.
the viewing day is intended to allow you to assess the boat and her condition carefully for yourself. you may wish to bring someone with experience in steel repairs, diesel engines and older cabin boats. the beijnes waterland 800 is offered as a classic restoration project with a working peugeot diesel engine, but with an urgent repair required to the hull. this distinction is important when determining your bid and planning the work ahead.
