The distinguished Bützfleth shipyard enjoys an excellent reputation among connoisseurs for its uncompromising German craftsmanship. Ships of this type convince through their massive construction, high-quality materials, and workmanship that would be scarcely achievable in this form today. This Bützfleth Pilothouse 48 is an outstanding example, combining the charm of a classic displacement vessel with extensive technical and comfort-oriented modernisations.
A particular hallmark of this yacht is its extraordinarily spacious layout concept. Rather than dividing the forward area into several small cabins, an open and bright living area with integrated galley was created. Together with the separate bathroom, this creates a living experience rarely found on vessels of this size, making the yacht ideal for longer voyages or extended stays aboard.
In the mid-1990s, the vessel underwent comprehensive modernisation and was equipped with two powerful MAN diesel engines. As part of this conversion, the entire engine room also received high-quality fire and sound insulation, which significantly reduces noise levels and substantially enhances comfort aboard.
Over the past years, the yacht has been continuously modernised and technically developed. In total, approximately €200,000 has been invested, so the vessel today presents itself in an extraordinarily well-maintained and technically current condition.
The comprehensive modernisations include, among others: groß dimensioniertes Batteriesystem with Victron charging and inverter system; renewal of all upholstery; partly new high-quality wooden flooring; new refrigerator; new cover; overhaul of both shaft systems including new bearings; development and installation of specially manufactured high-performance propellers; ongoing maintenance, care, and modernisation work; in June 2026 complete renewal of the underwater hull including osmosis protection and fresh underwater paint; all inspection and service work currently completed.
The result is an extraordinary motor yacht with classic German shipyard substance, modern technology, and living comfort of its kind. An ideal yacht for discerning owners who value quality, reliability, and timeless elegance.
