A beautiful yacht reminiscent of much older designs. Function reigns supreme.

[@jlenstra]

Splendid yacht and quality of craftsmanship

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Thank you!

[@piers995]

It looks very handsome indeed. It reminds me in its elegent design of many of the small boats that were involved in the evacuation of Dunkirk. I shall have to start saving..

[@MonkPetite]

The most beautiful ship for me. The looks of old classic style with the modern sturdy look. Its awesome 👏

Thank you Adrian!

[@kenthobbs9920]

Love the lines and just a beautiful vessel.

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Beautiful lines. Like a classic gentleman’s yacht of the 1940’s. With that kind of range you could tour the world. Would it take electric motors maybe?

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Yes, if an owner would like that we can convert it. On the new 63MY model we will be having electric propulsion.

great boat !

[@fransdriesen1311]

Prachtige uitvoering met een uitstekende overtone van Hollandse boat perfectie…Love the design but was looking for a small mast for ensigns and courtesy flags…

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Bedankt voor uw reactie. Een mastje zit er inderdaad niet op, maar dat is een kleine moeite mocht een eigenaar dat willen.

[@doninone8531]

What's the cruising range?

[@KMYachtbuilders]

At 10kn the range is 1220NM.

[@DIY-DaddyO]

@@KMYachtbuilders wow, I was not expecting that kind of range from a 50ft Nice work.

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

It's fantastic, but is it the best exploration yacht for the money?

[@N330AA]

What's her deadrise? Interesting design that kind of reminds me of the LRC 58 actually.

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Hello. I don't have the exact numbers, but the bottom is more of a shallow V. For more info you can visit: www.bestevaer.com/yachts/motor/models/53-m-y

@@KMYachtbuilders Think i found out it was 16 degrees at the transom.

[@BRuas9080]

Very interesting boat, would like to know how much does it costs? In five years I´m planing to trade my sailboat for a motorboat.

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Hi Pedro. We currently have a third one for sale which is almost identical to this one. That one is for sale for €1,485,000. For more information about a new-build motoryacht, please contact our sales department at [e-mail]. They will be happy to help you realize your dream boat.

[@nhojnhoj6767]

​@@KMYachtbuilders Can you please explain how the crane is used? I don't understand how you couple/uncouple it from the tender when the tender is alongside. A video of the process would be much appreciated.

[@KMYachtbuilders]

@@nhojnhoj6767 Hello. When the tender is along side you tie the tender to the motoryacht and then unhook the hoisting hook. You can retract the hook (plus line) and crane with a remote control. It will then go back into the tube which is hidden from sight. You can see more of this in this animation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5iVfpWuibuIosk

[@nhojnhoj6767]

@@KMYachtbuilders Thanks for the reply.

[@Nerd3927]

Great design, No nosense and practical. Made to be used and not for show. I think ex-sailors would like two masts on and a stabilizing mizzen.

[@nhojnhoj6767]

Do you have any feedback from the owners of the first two yachts? Are they using them predominantly offshore, inland or both?

[@KMYachtbuilders]

We do. The first sails more domestically. The second went to Scandinavia this year. The first is currently for sale. Please contact our sales department via [e-mail] if you have any other questions. We're happy to answer them.

[@willg9764]

Hey what if y'all made a cat catch motor sailor out of one of these

[@paulnorman8274]

A Bestevaer motorsailer ("real" props with grip on the water in high latitude currents and gusts, instead of folding props and sail drives. Big tankage. But still with the ability to hoist some sail, instead of mindlessly burning diesel for days on end, when wind is favourable....) would be sweet. Seems like most people seriously looking for this class of yacht, want either uncompromised sailing, or no sails at all, though. Insisting motorsailers are "neither fish nor fowl."

[@srupp9271]

Love the boat. I always liked shallow draft boats. But here is the big but boats that sit on top of the water and not deep in the water will always be more prone to getting seasick.The motion between shallow draft boats and deep draft boats is just very different and I think the deeper the draft the easier the motion. Great for the Bahamas but not for ocean crossings.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

With modern gyro stabilizers you can stabilize most half decent hulls this will have a low c of g... The underside hull line reminds me of German Shnell boats / E boats. Similar profile to the smaller Greenline hybrid boats .

[@KMYachtbuilders]

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Yes, she has stabilizers and interceptors.

Mooi schip verdient goede reclame. Beide geslaagd.

[@andreiolaru9962]

Similar to fpb Boats but probably cheaper

[@wesm3915]

To much bow rise at cruise, cabin not level not designed properly.

[@paulnorman8274]

You sure you're not confusing "cruise" with intermittent high speed running? The boat is designed to cruise at displacement speeds. I believe the standard engines are 100hp, not the 250s which are fitted on this one. This particular one "can" get up to 15+ knots in a pinch. But is still, I'm fairly sure, optimised for 8-10. Personally, I would not even want engines capable of pushing me above s/l 1.3-1.4 (11-12 knots) on a boat with hydraulic stabiliser fins. Loads, and consequences, go through the roof as speed go up. But if KMY, and their design partners, OKs it, I'm sure it's fine. They know their stuff. And build solid, well designed boats.

[@KMYachtbuilders]

@@paulnorman8274 You are correct 🙂

[@RighteousWarriorIsraelite]

But is it capable of doing ocean passages

[@KMYachtbuilders]

She has 2000L diesel tanks. So a full ocean crossing is not possible. She is more intented for 'hopping', for example from the UK to Faroer, to Iceland, Greenland, Canada, etc.
