In 2020, a unique journey began at VMG Yachtbuilders with the creation of a truly exceptional yacht, originally known as the "Waddenboot." The vessel, now named IJver since its christening, laid the foundation for the entire IJver Class fleet. The growing enthusiasm of all parties during its construction process led VMG Yachtbuilders and Olivier van Meer to decide to create an IJver Class fleet. Passion and enthusiasm throughout the process ensured that a vision was transformed into a beautiful yacht. The IJver. The IJver is not just a yacht; it embodies childhood memories of sailing across the Dutch, German, and Danish Wadden and coastal waters, woven into its design. The result is a yacht that exudes the appearance of a sturdy ship with the characteristics of a fishing trawler combined with the luxury of a motor yacht. The Waddenboot 'IJVER' speaks through its steep bow, not quite the look of a thoroughbred cutter, nor a chic and luxurious motor yacht. The perfect combination makes it unique. Its lines are refined but not overly rounded. It truly has its own signature. The yacht's interior is designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. The salon features removable composite hatches, creating a spacious open area that serves as the main living space. A separate cabin is dedicated to the owner, providing privacy and tranquility. There is also a bunk bed for children, each equipped with portholes offering views of the water, evoking the scent of adventure on the open sea. The fully insulated wheelhouse provides the perfect environment for summer voyages, with an open roof allowing fresh air and sunlight in. The owner's cabin has a separate toilet and shower area for added convenience, along with air conditioning for a comfortable stay in all conditions. The interior is crafted from high-quality oak, featuring both solid wood and veneer, giving the space an elegant and timeless look. The combination of natural materials and thoughtful design creates a welcoming atmosphere throughout the yacht. The outdoor feel can be achieved by removing the skylights. The salon is equipped with 10 removable composite hatches for easy access and ventilation. Additionally, there are 3 removable composite hatches above the helm for even more ventilation and convenience. The yacht also has 6 integrated portholes in the hull, all of which can be opened to enhance natural airflow and improve ventilation throughout the interior. The IJver is built to the highest quality standards in Dutch yacht building. The hull is constructed of 8 mm aluminum plating with frames every 400 mm, CNC cut to 10 mm thickness and 50 mm height. The deck and superstructure are made of 6 mm aluminum, while the structural bulkheads are also 6 mm thick, ensuring exceptional rigidity. A solid 50 mm keel bar runs from the rudder skeg all the way to the bow, forming the backbone of the hull. The mast and windlass foundations are reinforced with 10 mm plating for maximum strength. A stainless steel anchor chain tube is fully insulated and embedded in the hull structure for durability and sound reduction. The rudder stock is made of solid 60 mm aluminum, and a robust 60 x 30 mm half-round rubbing strake runs around the entire hull for added protection. The IJver is equipped with Seakeeper 9 Zero Speed stabilizers, providing exceptional stability even when the yacht is stationary. These advanced stabilizers significantly reduce rolling, increasing comfort for passengers whether underway or at anchor. The Seakeeper 9's advantage is its ability to maintain a smooth and stable experience, allowing passengers to enjoy a more relaxed and enjoyable time. The mast is Oregon laminated, traditionally built SRF. Painted in 2024. There is an electric system to lower the mast. Step aboard this thoughtfully constructed and well-equipped vessel, a perfect blend of comfort, technology, and style. Ideal for large families looking to experience unforgettable boating holidays together, but equally suitable for cozy trips with friends. With a minimal air draft of just 3.09 meters and an electric mast lowering system (height 11.5 meters), this vessel is suitable for a variety of cruising areas. The robust Blokland keel cooler and closed cooling systems make the ship reliable and easy to maintain. The propulsion system is of high quality, with an oil-lubricated propeller shaft (Blokland) and a bronze 25” five-blade propeller equipped with a rope cutter. Sustainability and smart technology go hand in hand, thanks to two solar panels that recharge the alarm and monitoring system. The installation is equipped with a JSM Medemblik PLC control system, providing maximum control and safety on board. The yacht features Neptune Excellent mattresses with slatted bases, strip and spot lighting (24V, fully dimmable), a kitchen with Corian countertops, floors with aluminum supports, and mahogany finishes. Furthermore, the vessel includes: Electrically operated transom flap and swim ladder, deck wash pumps for fore and aft decks, extensive ventilation options including 4 Lewmar Ocean hatches, 6 portholes, and various composite hatches, AIS system for safe navigation.
