BORKUMRIFF - description and highlights

BUTJLER BOOTSWERFT

Boasting a sturdy carvel construction, featuring Iroko planks on Oak frames, complemented by oak knees and floors with steel supports.   Designed with a schooner raked stem, the “Borkumriff” includes an extended bowsprit and double chain bob-stay. Featuring a long keel with rounded bilges and bilge keels on both port and starboard sides, finishing with a counter stem and transom. A stem-mounted, keel-supported rudder completes its robust design.
This yacht is built for those who appreciate  “classic elegance with modern durability“
The Borkumriff was expertly refitted in the UK to meet the current owner’s desire for a spacious, open-plan family cruiser.    The yacht now boasts a large aft master cabin with a double and single berth, along with an en-suite head and shower. The second cabin, located in the forecastle, offers three berths. Adjacent to this is another head and shower to port. Opposite, you’ll find a roomy open-plan galley equipped with elegant teak worktops and cabinetry.
Step into sophistication with English oak joinery in the saloon and American oak in the aft cabin. Teak floorboards grace the yacht throughout, providing a smooth and warm feel underfoot.
This yacht isn’t just about style—it’s a seasoned traveler. She’s explored the Caribbean, the USA’s east coast, the UK, and the Mediterranean

And let’s not forget her commendable performance in the Arch Race!!!

Over the last few years, she has been expertly recaulked using Organic Oakum from keel to waterline. Additionally, refastening was carried out from the garboard plank forward to the deadwood area. 
(All removed fastenings are available, with only one showing partial wear.)
 
Very extensive list of works undertaken in the past years is available upon request.

The Bültjer Bootswerft has been a cornerstone of maritime craftsmanship since the early 19th century, beginning with the construction of small boats for Dollart fishermen. Hinderk Gerjets Bültjer, a master wheelwright, expanded the family tradition by producing wagon wheels and boats in Ditzum after moving there in 1899. His sons, Gerjet and Jan, inherited the craft and continued the legacy, building fishing vessels to meet high demand.
 
The shipyard has consistently adapted, evolving from fishing boats to luxury yachts, while maintaining a reputation for quality. Modern facilities now support diverse operations, including the conversion of commercial vehicles into recreational ones and the construction of new sailing yachts. The family-owned business is poised for continued success with the fifth generation taking the helm, ensuring the Bültjer legacy thrives into the future.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Stories from those who have already chosen to sail with us

“I cannot emphasize enough how pleased I am with the services provided. In particular, with Sara, a true professional. She will diligently work with you to find the best alternative for your request and the follow-up is incredible. At all times she is engaged and find useful solutions to any of your requests. I am particularly impressed with her response time. No matter what time or what day she will get back to you immediately. I wish the scale of stars will allow for more than 5 for those exceptional cases that exceed expectations, this will definitely be one. I strongly recommend her.”

Ricardo Ernst

Google review

“I cannot speak more highly of the service provided by Sara and Peter at European Yacht Brokers. They were pro active and professional and arranged the sale of my yacht exceptionally well. I would give them 6 stars if I could.”

Neil Burton

Client review

“This is only the second time I’ve ever written a review. But European Yacht Brokers truly deserve it for their comprehensive service. They guided us step-by-step through the entire purchase process abroad. Sara, in particular, provided us with expert feedback at all times and guided us through the boat buying experience. Whether our future boat needed an inspection, maintenance, or technical modifications, Sara and her team on-site handled everything efficiently and without unnecessary bureaucracy. We found European Yacht Brokers to be open and honest brokers. They offer everything from a single source, and we would gladly use their services again if needed.”

Thomas Knorr

Google review (translated from German)

“We have nothing but good things to say about Peter and Sara and European Yacht Brokers. We have felt really safe and well taken care of all the time. Due to a health scare we weren’t the quickest in our decisions but they were really patient and never pushy with us. As someone else said the response times have always been incredibly quick and the way they have communicated has been friendly, professional and clear. In addition their willingness to help has continued long after we finished our business together.”
