VARNEBANK
MOTOR YACHT FOR SALE
A distinctive custom explorer, VARNEBANK is a 24M (78’) expedition yacht built by Van Der Molen in 1965 and extensively refitted in 2007, now offered for sale. Originally constructed as a North Sea working trawler, she was thoughtfully converted in the Netherlands into a capable private yacht designed for confident offshore cruising.
Designed by Pieter Beeldsnijder, VARNEBANK offers reassuring seakeeping and efficiency, powered by a Mitsubishi S6-R2 MPTA 580 Hp main engine. She cruises comfortably at approximately 10 knots and offers a range of up to 4,800 nautical miles, supporting extended passages and long-range independence.
Her interior, designed by Luro Enkhuizen, showcases classic Dutch craftsmanship with warm cherrywood and mahogany joinery throughout. VARNEBANK sleeps 10 in 5 double staterooms, accommodating up to 8 guests with the fifth cabin configured flexibly for guests or crew, including a full-beam Owner’s stateroom aft and well-appointed additional cabins.
Exterior spaces are purposeful and secure, featuring wide walk-around decks, a protected aft deck, a Portuguese bridge, and a sun deck offering excellent visibility and outdoor living. Designed for straightforward operation, VARNEBANK appeals to experienced owner-operators as well as those wishing to cruise with minimal crew.
A rare one-off expedition yacht with genuine working-vessel pedigree, VARNEBANK presents an authentic opportunity for long-range cruising with enduring character.
