Funcraft 1500 rugged steel motorboat

The 2006 Funcraft 1500 is a striking steel motorboat with a distinctive look and a layout that invites long days on board. She was built as a ready-to-sail hull at V. Meijeren yard, with the design also by V. Meijeren. Over the years, comfort and ease of use have been consciously chosen, resulting in a spacious, warm-looking boat that feels at home on inland waterways, lakes and rivers. With a length of 15.00 metres, a beam of 4.50 metres and a draft of 1.15 metres, the Funcraft 1500 offers a stable platform, while her V-bottom contributes to a pleasant ride.

Inside, the generous headroom of approximately 2.05 metres immediately stands out. The interior is finished in cherry wood, giving her a classic, homely atmosphere. She has four fixed berths, making a weekend away or a longer holiday with family or friends well within reach. The accommodation is fully equipped with, among other things, a shower, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, cooker and mattresses. Hot water is provided via a 90-litre Vetus boiler, noticeably increasing comfort on board, especially after a day cruising or on a chilly morning.

How does this Funcraft 1500 handle with two engines?

She is equipped with two Volvo Penta TAMD 63 L inboard diesel engines of 320 hp each, electrically started and connected to electric engine controls. With twin engines, twin rudders and wheel steering from a dual helm station, manoeuvring feels straightforward, also in marinas and near bridges. Cruising speed is around 16 km/h and top speed around 24 km/h, fitting a comfortable steel motor yacht experience. The stated engine hours are approximately 210 per engine, which aligns with the story that she has seen little use due to circumstances.

Is she suitable for France and low bridges?

Yes, her air draft is approximately 3.45 metres. This makes her interesting for cruising areas where bridge clearance matters and supports relaxed route planning. Combined with her dimensions, this is a pleasant balance for those looking for a 15-metre steel motorboat that remains practical on many inland waters.

How is onboard comfort arranged for longer stays?

She is fitted out with staying aboard in mind. The freshwater tank of approximately 1,200 litres and the holding tank of approximately 450 litres allow for longer trips without constantly needing to refill or empty. The toilet is electric and does not discharge directly into open water. Heating is provided via hot-air heating, making her suitable for the shoulder seasons as well. Outside she is equipped with a bimini, cockpit table, cockpit tent, guardrails, swim platform and swim ladder. In addition, the entire boat is fitted with Stazo cork decking, which is not only comfortable underfoot but also enhances her appearance.

What technology and equipment are on board for cruising and anchoring?

On board you will find a complete set for navigation and control, including autopilot, depth sounder, log/speedometer and VHF radio. A forward-looking colour depth sounder from Echopilot is also mentioned, and instruments are also present on the flybridge, keeping navigation clear and manageable. For power supply there is shore power, battery charger, alternator, inverter and voltmeter, with a total of six batteries and a total capacity of approximately 700. The Whisper generator type 9 with 9 kVA is present and, according to the owner, has seen limited use. Anchoring is handled via an electrically operated anchor windlass with chain.

What is known about maintenance and points of attention?

She was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2023, and antifouling was applied in the same year. A known point of attention is leakage at the right front window. Furthermore, there is no extensive documentation folder available, but there is proof of insurance and manuals for technical equipment. This provides a basis for the next owner to use her further to their own wishes and get to know her.

This Funcraft 1500 is a steel motor yacht with plenty of living space, a large shower cabin and an appearance you won’t easily come across again, partly because this version is said to have been built as a unique one-off. She is being auctioned via BoatAuction and will be delivered with pots and pans, so you can quickly feel at home on board. If you are looking for a spacious motorboat with flybridge, two powerful Volvo Penta diesels, bow thruster and comfortable equipment for weekend trips and holidays, this is a lot worth taking a close look at.
