Sail into a sustainable future with the Bestevaer 36 – where compact meets limitless adventure.
Experience the thrill of sailing aboard the European Yacht of the Year 2024 award, category ‘Special Mentioning Sustainability’ celebrated for its unrivaled agility and commitment to sustainability.
Together with Dykstra Naval Architects, we embarked on a journey to develop the smallest Bestevaer yet. A yacht for legendary sailor and the original designer of the Bestevaer series, Gerard Dijkstra, to explore the waters he never got to explore before: shallow waters. A yacht that would allow him to moor in smaller marinas. Also, with the gorgeous Wadden Sea nearby, he wanted a yacht that was able to dry out. That vision has become a reality with the Bestevaer 36 S/Y.
Embark on more than just a voyage; this is a vessel for those who dare to go anywhere, do anything, and set a course for a greener, more sustainable future.
Special features of Bestevaer 36 ‘BV3’:
- Development: Designed by and for Gerard Dijkstra, launched in July 2023.
- Dimensions: Smallest Bestevaer yet: compact in format, but big in experience.
- Dry out: With its unique centreboard, the yacht is suitable for drying out.
- Excellent manoeuvrability: The yacht manoeuvres effortlessly between shallow waters, such as those of the Wadden Sea, and switches trouble-free to long crossings.
- Sustainability: The most sustainable yacht yet of KM Yachtbuilders. Built with 60% recycled aluminium and recycled sails, no paint system, and the vessel is insulated with cork and mineral wool.
- Innovation: Hybrid yacht with electric drive. The electric power drive will be recharged in the regeneration during sailing.
- Awards: Last year, the Bestevaer 36 won the European Yacht of the Year 2024, ‘Special mentioning Sustainability’ award
