HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
The Klassen Shipyard, Voorschoten, in the Netherlands was established in 1935 and has a deservedly good reputation for excellent craftsmanship producing elegant, quality motor-yachts, one of the top yards in Holland building the Super Van Craft motor-yachts.
AQUARIUS was built in 1984 to the 1150 model design being of steel construction with teak laid decks and varnished mahogany superstructure. Over the years AQUARIUS has spent time cruising the inland waterways of Holland and the River Thames, although a highly capable sea boat. Now equipped with a new generator, new electric windlass and navigation instruments, she’s ideal for independent cruising away from shore facilities. Located on a mooring in Chichester Harbour.
