Kraaijer Kotter 14.00 AK - Very solid, extremely complete and ready for long voyages through Europe

The Kraaijer Kotter 14.00 AK "Neptunus" is an exceptionally well maintained and technically advanced steel cutter for water sports enthusiasts who want to explore Europe carefree and independently. This ship from 1994 has been modernized on a professional level in recent years, where reliability, safety and comfort were central.

Robust hull & proven build quality

This Kraaijer is known for its solid construction and sailing characteristics. The hull is made of 6 mm steel up to the bilge and 5 mm above, with stainless steel processed in vulnerable places. With a weight of approximately 25 tons (full tanks) and a draught of 1.45 meters, the ship is extremely stable, even in larger waters.

The underwater hull was completely stripped bare and rebuilt with a high-quality epoxy coating system, followed by antifouling. The hull is painted a sleek matte black and is in excellent condition.

Reliable propulsion & technology

The cutter is powered by a DAF 825 - 6 cylinder diesel engine (158 HP), an engine with a rock-solid reputation for long distances. The engine has been demonstrably maintained, technically checked and equipped with, among other things, overhauled injectors, new thermostats and renewed sensors.

In addition, the vessel has a Paguro generator (3500 W continuous), allowing full autonomy - ideal for free-lying or longer stays on board.

Full autonomy

Thanks to its impressive energy and tank capacity, this Kraaijer is perfect for long stays on board:

• 2 main tanks of 900 liters diesel + day tank
• Fuel treated and filled with HVO100
• Drinking water capacity approx. 1100 liters
• Victron Quattro 24/8000 inverter/charger
• Solar panels with Victron MPPT
• New AGM service batteries (6x 270Ah, 2025)
• Cerbo GX + Ekrano GX touchscreen with remote monitoring

Everything is clear, professionally installed and future proof.

Comfortable living on board

There is nothing to be desired in terms of comfort. The ship has central heating (Kabola HR400 CV) with radiators and kickspaces, a 40 liter boiler, a fully equipped galley with Siemens induction hob, oven and refrigerator, as well as a washing machine.

There are two electric toilets, including a new Tecma toilet in the aft cabin (2024). The interior was recently painted, fitted with new curtains with pleats, and the wheelhouse has a new oak floor (2025).

Maneuvering ease & safety

The Kraaijer is equipped with both a bow and stern thruster (both 8 kW), operable from multiple steering positions and by remote control. Navigation and safety are excellently arranged with a.o:

• AIS transponder class B (2025)
• New VHF Sailor RT2048 (2025)
• New antennas and cabling
• Liferaft (4 people)
• Several bilge pumps (all renewed)
• Emergency swim ladder and emergency tiller

Ready to go immediately

This Kraaijer Kotter 14.00 AK "Neptune" is not a project, but a carefully constructed long-range cutter for the discerning water sports enthusiast. Everything is well thought out, demonstrably maintained and in excellent condition.

A ship for those seeking freedom, security and comfort - board today and Europe lies open.
