Topics in this article

The Bestevaer 63 motor yacht is aimed at water sports enthusiasts who want to explore the world without sacrificing comfort. The long-distance boat, also known as a passagemaker, combines robust seaworthiness with well thought-out large storage spaces and thus offers a platform for versatile adventures beyond coastal routes.

Convenient passage maker

The Bestevaer 63 M/Y (CE Cat. A) was specially designed for long-distance cruising in all weather conditions. The aluminium hull and additional stabilisers ensure seaworthiness even in rough conditions. Conventional shaft drives, powered by two 180 hp diesel engines, ensure low maintenance and operational safety. The interior features spacious living areas in a Scandinavian design, which should also make longer stays on board pleasant. The yacht is particularly suitable for journeys to remote areas where self-sufficiency is important.

Plenty of space

A key feature of the Bestevaer 63 M/Y is the extensive stowage options for equipment and provisions. There is also plenty of space on board for bicycles, kites, snowboards, wakeboards, diving equipment and fishing gear. This versatility makes it easy for owners to spend longer periods on board. Accommodation is provided in three cabins, each with a double bed and en-suite bathroom.
