Broker's Comments
The Dehler 34 TOP has a great reputation as a safe, fast cruising yacht with an excellent sea-keeping pedigree. Always prominent in the world yachting scene they have earned their laurels via a racing pedigree that translates well to the comfortable, safe cruising yacht.
Dehler owners tend to remain loyal with very good reason. Inimitable styling from the desk of Van der Stadt coupled with proven performance. Spacious below, with great accommodation, she is nonetheless a sleek greyhound when pressed.
Stepping aboard you can feel the care and attention that has been given to this boat by her current owners who unfortunately are selling her due to ill health. The current owners are members of a sailing club and the boat has been lifted out of the water at the end of every season for her annual maintenance.
She benefits from a very good level of accommodation and feels incredibly spacious below decks with a large, comfortable saloon area and benefits from a forward and aft cabin double berth cabin.
This boat also has a good-sized and well-equipped galley with a gas oven and hob, a large-size refrigerator and a twin sink all of which are cleverly concealed by removable covers which double up as worktop space.
The chart table is also impressive with lots of space to work on passage planning and a good array of navigation and safety equipment to hand. The seat is cleverly designed too - it pivots backwards when you need to sit, and when you don't, it pivots forward to free up more space around the galley area.
I believe that this example represents great value for money for a prestige brand and in my opinion is in exceptional condition and is well worth a closer inspection.
Subject to separate negotiation, the owners have indicated that there may be an opportunity to utilize a river mooring in the Plymouth area for either short-term or long-term rental, which could be advantageous for the new owner if required.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
