1999 Vitters Vitters Trawler 19.90 - Explorer

This 1999 Vitters Trawler 19.90 Explorer is a sturdy, steel-hulled motor yacht built by the respected Dutch yard to a proven design. At 65 feet with a beam of 20 feet, the boat combines traditional shipbuilding quality with serious offshore capability—it has completed multiple transatlantic passages and is equally suited to warm and cold-water cruising. The single Caterpillar 3406 diesel engine produces 272 horsepower and is rated A for continuous operation at full power.

The layout accommodates six cabins. The forward cabin serves as a crew space with its own entrance and dinette, while the owner's quarters offer two escape routes—through the engine room or via the forward entrance. The engine room is professionally organized and fully accessible. Additional storage is found in a spacious aft lazarette with workshop bench. The boat features five watertight compartments, redundant systems throughout, and an Eekels board management system with remote access and SMS notifications. A secondary Yanmar 3JH4E auxiliary of 40 horsepower drives the home-coming system through its own shaft with folding propeller, capable of 5.2 knots in calm conditions; at 6 knots cruising speed, the yacht has a range of approximately 2,130 nautical miles.

Living spaces are well-appointed with air conditioning (two chillers, three fan coils), a professional galley with 2022 Miele appliances, and dimmed lighting throughout cabins and wheelhouse. Equipment includes a Furuno loudhaler, high-grade pan-tilt-zoom camera, Zeeanker sea anchor, Fortress aluminum spare anchor, fuel polishing system, UV water treatment, and a dinghy (2021 AB Rib 12 ALX with 30-hp Yamaha four-stroke). The hull and superstructure were repainted in 2021, and bilges were freshly painted the same year.

The boat has been under single ownership since 2006 with substantial ongoing maintenance and three major refits over two decades. Documentation includes customs clearance, CE certification, builder's certificate, valid CBB through December 2032, stability, noise, and vibration reports. The yacht is well-equipped for professional cruising with exceptional attention to safety and detail throughout.
