Steam Boat Emma for sale
An 8.8 m long and 2.2 m wide riveted steel hull forms the solid foundation for the saloon, crafted from laminated oak with 13 safety-glazed windows. The two benches, seating 4–7 people, double as 2 m long beds at night or can be converted into a lounging area. In the morning, you can prepare coffee on the two-burner gas stove while connecting with nature through the lowerable side window. Cleverly designed storage space keeps things tidy during the day.
The elegantly shaped, historic hull offers ample room for crew and equipment, impressing with its exceptionally stable waterline. The easy-to-heat boiler and robustly built engine contribute to a relaxed atmosphere on board, perfect for sociable or intimate trips in a steamboat ambiance. The three-dimensionally curved roof, made of laminated plywood and tailored to the hull’s shape, allows for outings in sun or rain. In rough weather, you can “close up shop” and enjoy a warm, dry trip. Equipped this way, Emma can be kept ready for outings all year round!
