From 2 to 6 September, the Enigma 50 will make its debut at HISWA te Water in Lelystad. The 15.40-metre motor yacht is the first model in Steeler Yachts’ new Enigma range – developed following international market research and in close collaboration with Dijksman Design.

Design with character

The Enigma range is aimed at owners who take their time – because the journey is the destination. The elegant round-bilge steel hull and the modern yet classic silhouette combine traditional character with 21st-century comfort. The proportions are timeless, the design language understated and well thought-out. “Design for connoisseurs, not for attention” – that is how Steeler Yachts describes the philosophy behind the Enigma.

Versatile and suitable for use all year round

The Enigma 50 is fully insulated and fitted with double glazing – meaning it can be used all year round, even in harsher conditions. The round-frame hull ensures a smooth, fuel-efficient ride on rivers, canals, coastal waters, fjords and the open sea.

The interiors are meticulously handcrafted and tailored to each individual owner’s requirements. Flexible layouts, clever use of space and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas characterise the design concept.

The Enigma range comprises models from 15 to 20 metres – from the Enigma 50 to the Enigma 65. The smallest model, the Enigma 50 shown here, is the entry-level model in the range.

Technical specifications:

  • Overall length: 15.40 m
  • Width: 4.93 m
  • Draught: 1.39 m
  • Displacement: 36 t.
  • Fuel tank: 2,500 l
  • Fresh water tank: 1,400 l
