Let the owner speak for himself:

Bültjer Motor Sailboat – A Cutter Yacht with Soul, History, and Future

Some ships are more than just floating objects. They carry a soul within them, an aura of tradition, craftsmanship, and maritime history. This Bültjer Motor Sailboat, built in 1979 at the famous Bültjer shipyard in Ditzum on the Ems River, is precisely such a vessel.

This is not a converted fishing cutter but a genuine cutter yacht created from scratch – with the aim of combining seaworthiness, robustness, and comfort.

This ship is a piece of boatbuilding history, lovingly maintained, extensively restored, and ready for new adventures. It tells tales of wind, waves, and endless horizons – now waiting to find a new owner to continue this journey.
