Experience the distinctive character of this 1998 Vilm 116, a cruising sailboat that defines reliability through its robust hull and meticulously maintained deck laminates. First launched in 2002, this yacht showcases an artisan approach to interior design, featuring timeless mahogany woodwork that balances elegance with durability. With an overall length of 11.89 meters and a beam of 3.66 meters, it provides a stable and comfortable platform for serious sailors.
Technically advanced and exceptionally well-equipped, the vessel has received significant attention to its sailing capabilities. The rig, including the mast and standing rigging, was fully renewed in 2025. Ease of handling is guaranteed by an efficient self-tacking jib system, a furling forestay (2018), and a comprehensive sail wardrobe consisting of a furling mainsail, two genoas, and a gennaker. Maneuverability in harbor is enhanced by a 2021 SPW bow thruster, controllable via both internal and external joysticks.
Powered by a reliable Yanmar 4JH4E diesel engine with 55 hp, the boat ensures efficient propulsion across its 300-liter fuel capacity. Onboard systems are designed for long-term comfort, featuring a 5 kW diesel heater, a 40-liter water heater, and a sophisticated electrical setup including a 230V inverter. The interior layout offers two spacious cabins and a panoramic saloon, while the galley is well-appointed with twin refrigerators, a microwave, and a gas stove, making it an ideal choice for extended cruising.
Navigation is supported by a full Garmin electronics suite integrated via NMEA 2000, including GPS, radar, AIS, and VHF radio. Safety remains a priority with an electric windlass, three electric winches, and an automated life raft. This Vilm 116 is currently available for viewing in Stralsund, Germany. The price has been reduced, and the yacht is offered with VAT already paid, providing a straightforward acquisition process for the discerning buyer.
