Gruno 38 Elite Royal Karat
€ 119.000,00This Gruno 38 Elite Royal, also known as the Gruno 38 E Royal, is a spacious and solidly built Dutch steel motor yacht with a practical layout, great comfort, and excellent maneuverability. With a length of approximately 12.11 meters, two full-sized cabins, six berths, two private bathrooms, and both an electric bow and stern thruster of 7 kW each, this vessel is well-suited for longer voyages and a comfortable stay on board. The current owners are offering the vessel for sale with mixed feelings. The Gruno was previously used for charter activities. Now that these activities have ended, business obligations leave them no time to use the motor yacht regularly themselves. Instead of leaving the ship largely unused, they wish to give it to a new owner who will once again make full use of the space, comfort, and sailing characteristics. The former charter use explains the approximately 7,900 engine hours, but also meant that the vessel required regular maintenance and inspection. Maintenance invoices and documentation covering the period 2020–2026 are available. The steel multi-chine hull ensures a robust appearance and stable handling. Thanks to the electric bow and stern thrusters, the vessel is highly maneuverable in harbors and locks, even with a small crew. The stated air draft is approximately 2.70 meters with the canopy lowered and approximately 3.70 meters with the canopy raised. This brings a large cruising area within reach. The ship is located in Waltrop on the Dortmund-Ems Canal and can be transferred from its current berth by water to various sailing areas in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. On deck, the generous amount of living space is immediately noticeable. Via the wide side decks, you reach the spacious aft and upper deck with the sheltered outdoor helm station. This is equipped with a helm seat, storage space, a convertible canopy with bimini top, and Webasto Air Top 5000 warm air heating. This allows for comfortable sailing even in the early and late seasons. Furthermore, a spare heating unit is included in a box. On the aft deck, there is sufficient space for a table with chairs, and two folding bikes, for example, can be taken along. The extended aft cabin and the spacious swimming platform offer additional usable space and make boarding and disembarking easier. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is also located on the swimming platform. You reach the bright and spacious saloon via the spiral staircase. The large windows provide plenty of daylight and good all-round visibility. The saloon features various seating options, a dining area, and an open pantry. By pulling out the saloon sofa, two additional berths are created, bringing the total number of berths to six. According to the documentation, the vessel is licensed for a maximum of eight persons. The pantry is equipped with, among other things, a three-burner gas hob renewed in 2022, a fridge with freezer compartment, a combination microwave oven, a sink with hot and cold water, various 230V sockets, and ample cupboard space. Located in the aft section is the owner's cabin, featuring a comfortable double bed, storage space, and a private bathroom with a separate shower and toilet. The forward cabin also features a double bed, wardrobe space, and a private bathroom, where the shower and toilet are separated as well. This allows four people to stay on board comfortably and with plenty of privacy for extended periods. The Gruno is powered by a 128 hp Vetus-Deutz DTA43452A four-cylinder diesel engine, coupled to a reversing gearbox and a traditional propeller shaft. The cruising speed is stated to be approximately 10 to 12 km/h, and the average fuel consumption is around 3 to 3.5 liters per hour, depending on the sailing area, load, and engine speed. The maximum speed is stated to be approximately 15 to 16 km/h. During charter use, the engine is professionally limited to approximately 2,000 revolutions per minute. According to the specifications, the original maximum setting is approximately 2,650 revolutions. Any adjustment to the original setting must be assessed and carried out by an expert. No noticeable smoke development was visible during the cold start at the time of inspection. The engine, gearbox, hydraulic steering, and bow and stern thrusters functioned properly during the inspection. The available technical and comfort equipment includes, among other things, an electric bow and stern thruster of 7 kW each, Webasto Air Top 5000 heating, a Victron MultiPlus Compact 12V battery charger, a Victron inverter for 230V power supply while underway, shore power connection, boiler of approximately 60 liters, depth sounder, speedometer, rudder position indicator, handheld VHF radio, stereo system, gas detector, CO detector, electric bilge pump, navigation lights, windscreen wipers, and various safety equipment. The batteries were renewed in 2022 and consist of two 200 Ah AGM batteries and two Optima batteries. The diesel and freshwater tanks each have a stated capacity of approximately 500 liters. Additionally, according to the owner's statement, the vessel is equipped with separate greywater/wastewater facilities of approximately 180 liters. The wastewater system is equipped with a pump and an outboard shut-off valve. An extensive documentation file is available with the vessel. According to the information provided, this includes maintenance invoices and documentation covering 2020–2026, a valuation report from 2026, an inspection report from June 2026, Category C CE documentation, a German Boat Certificate based on an inspection from 2025, a gas inspection report from March 2025, new fire extinguishers from 2026, ownership and registration documentation, insurance documents, manuals, and technical documentation. According to the available report, the steel thickness in the measured section of the forward plane is approximately 5 mm. According to the owners, no acute technical malfunctions are currently known. However, we transparently point out a few visible areas of concern. The hull shows signs of wear consistent with age and use. The superstructure and upper deck are well painted and were painted by the owner himself, but are not in concours cosmetic condition. The convertible top is slightly soiled and requires professional cleaning. Light traces of condensation are visible in places, but no leaks were detected during the inspection. A buyer should also take into account the mentioned engine limiter at approximately 2,000 rpm. This Gruno 38 Elite Royal is immediately available and, as listed, ready to sail. For those seeking a complete and spacious steel motor yacht of approximately 12 meters, with two cabins, two bathrooms, the possibility of six berths, bow and stern thrusters, and an extensive documentation file, this vessel represents an attractive alternative to comparable models from Linssen and Pedro, among others. The vessel is located in Waltrop, Germany. Viewings and sea trials take place exclusively by appointment via RV Aqua Yacht Brokers. All information provided is based on statements from the owner and the currently available documentation.

€ 19.900,00This Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 24.2 from 1999 is a compact and versatile sailboat that offers a surprising amount of space and sailing pleasure within her 7.30 meter length.

With a draught of only 1.10 meters, the sailing area is particularly large. Shallow Frisian lakes and smaller ports are therefore easily accessible. The tiller steering and the relatively low weight of approximately 1,650 kg also make her a handy ship. For propulsion, the Jeanneau is equipped with a Yamaha F8 BEL 8 hp outboard motor with electric remote control. On board are also a Furlex furling reefing system, mainsail, furling headsail, asymmetrical spinnaker, spinnaker boom, Windex, compass, log and VHF radio. Comfort has also been thought of. For example, the ship has a Coolmatic refrigerator, automatic pressurized water system, underwater toilet, shore power connection with Victron system and a 220V socket in the cabin. The teak benches in the cockpit also give the whole a neat nautical look.

From tenders and motorboats to sailing yachts: you can browse endlessly through both new and used boats. With the convenient filters, you can search specifically by type, length, draft, price, and more. This makes it easy to find the vessel that matches your preferences.
How to find your dream boat among the listings
Choosing the yacht of your dreams starts with an important step: clearly identifying how and where you want to sail.
When orienting yourself, the following points will help you along:
- Boat type. There are various types of vessels, each suited for different kinds of use. Agile models such as tenders or speedboats are ideal for short trips and recreational cruising. Larger models, like cruisers or motor yachts, offer more comfort and amenities for longer journeys. That’s why it’s important to determine your intended use so you can select the right type.
- Sailing area. Inland waters require different hull shapes, drafts, and stability than open water or coastal regions. If you want to sail at sea, the boat must be seaworthy and meet specific requirements. So think carefully in advance about where you prefer to sail.
- Company on board. Do you usually sail with family or friends and need extra space, or do you mostly go solo and prefer a compact, agile model? If you plan to stay aboard for longer periods, it’s important to pay attention to the number of berths and the layout of the boat.
- Budget. Besides the purchase price, annual costs also play a role, such as mooring fees, maintenance, and insurance. Keep these in mind when making your final decision.
Why buy a boat from HISWA-members ion Holland

- Reliable and expert advice. HISWA-certified companies have many years of experience and can answer all your questions about the vessel in question.
- Additional warranty. When purchasing through our members, you receive extra warranty, whether it is a pre-owned or new yacht. Ask for the HISWA warranty certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I get assistance when buying a yacht?
Absolutely! Buying a boat is not something you do lightly, and there is quite a lot involved. A HISWA broker can guide you through the entire purchasing process, from drafting all agreements in a purchase contract to secure financial settlement according to the HISWA General Terms and Conditions for Yacht Brokerage.
Would you like extra certainty? Then have an independent HISWA expert carry out a thorough pre-purchase inspection before you finalize your decision.
-
Do you have any tips for buying a boat?
Of course! Choosing a yacht starts with proper preparation. By knowing in advance what to look out for, you’ll enter the purchasing process with greater confidence and enjoyment. Think of a technical inspection, clearly documented agreements, and a sea trial.
-
When should I choose a sailing boat and when a motorboat?
The choice depends on your experience, sailing style, and the type of trip you typically want to make. Sailing boats are sportier and sleeker, often require more experience, and are mainly suited for large lakes or open sea. They are ideal for those who enjoy long journeys on the water. Motorboats are often more maneuverable, easier to learn to handle, and suitable for shorter trips or recreational use.
-
What types of yachts do you have for sale, and what are popular brands?
In watersports, the main categories are sailing boats, motorboats, and tenders. Many brands specialize in one type, building expertise and reputation within their segment.
Below you’ll find an overview of popular brands:
Sailing Boats
- Bavaria. Known for solid build quality and ease of use, suitable for both recreational and experienced sailors.
- Beneteau. Offers sailing yachts with high stability, agility, and a comfortable interior, ideal for sailing on open sea.
Motorboats
- Rapsody. Renowned for craftsmanship in wood and attention to detail. Their open motor yachts are perfect for day trips or multi-day outings on the water.
- Bayliner. Reliable and fast boats with plenty of seating and comfort, ideal for day trips along the coast or on lakes.
Tenders
- Primeur. These tenders are agile, fast, and luxuriously finished. Perfect for relaxing day trips and active cruising on both inland and coastal waters.
- Antaris tender. Offers excellent stability and ease of use, making them suitable for inland and coastal waters.
-
Can I buy a boat anywhere in the Netherlands through you?
Absolutely! HISWA members are located throughout the Netherlands, so there’s always a provider in the Netherlands near you. Can’t find your dream boat among the listings? Many members also import boats from abroad. Submit a search request, and they will immediately look for the desired type or brand - so you’ll soon be stepping aboard the yacht that perfectly matches your sailing wishes.
-
Does a boat need to be insured?
A boat insurance policy is not legally required in the Netherlands, but many marinas, winter storage facilities, and race organizers do require it.
Insurance is strongly recommended in any case. It reduces the risk of high costs due to damage, loss, or theft. A HISWA yachtbroker can advise you on the right coverage and help you take out a suitable policy.
Read more about insuring your boat
-
Do I need to register my boat?
Registering your boat is not mandatory, but it is wise. Both new and used boats can be registered in the national ship register of the Kadaster. This officially records ownership, which provides certainty in cases such as ownership disputes, recovery after theft, or selling the boat.
-
Do I need a boating license to buy a boat?
No, you generally do not need a boating license to purchase a boat. If you want to operate it and the boat exceeds 20 km/h or is longer than 15 meters, then you must have a boating license.
-
How much maintenance does a yacht require?
This depends on the type of boat and the materials. For example, a wooden boat requires more maintenance than a polyester or aluminum vessel. In all cases, you can count on annual engine servicing and winterization.
-
What are the annual costs of owning a boat?
Annual costs vary depending on the type of boat and how intensively you use it. Those who sail frequently generally face higher fuel and maintenance costs than those who only go out occasionally.
In addition to the purchase price, consider mooring fees, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and winter storage. It is wise to create a cost overview in advance so you understand what to expect.
-
Can I personalize the yacht with boat accessories?
Yes, certainly! In most cases, yachts can be expanded with accessories. HISWA companies are happy to advise you on the possibilities and provide professional installation.
