The Bendie Impressive 2300 is a custom built 23 metre Dutch steel motor yacht designed with a clear focus on long range cruising, owner operation, and full time liveaboard comfort. Built by Jachtwerf Bendie in the Netherlands and designed by Van Vossen Engineering, she features a round bilged displacement hull, steel construction throughout, and CE Category A certification for unrestricted offshore use. One of her most distinctive features is the interior layout. Rather than multiple guest cabins, the boat is configured around a single full beam owner’s cabin, allowing significantly more usable volume in both the accommodation and the main deck saloon. The saloon runs almost the full length of the deckhouse, with large windows, four adjustable tables, and direct access to the aft cockpit, creating a bright and open living space suited to long periods on board. Powered by twin Cummins QSB 5.9 diesel engines producing 355 horsepower each, the yacht is designed to cruise efficiently at displacement speeds. At around 1400 rpm she runs at approximately 6.5 knots with a combined fuel consumption of roughly 14.4 litres per hour. With a total fuel capacity of 4,000 litres, this results in a theoretical range of around 1,800 nautical miles. Top speed is approximately 13 knots. Handling and station keeping are supported by hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, fin stabilisers, and a hydraulic spud pole system, a feature more commonly found on commercial vessels. This allows the yacht to hold position in shallow or tidal waters without deploying an anchor. The vessel is currently for sale at €1,150,000, which equates to approximately $1,255,000 USD or £985,000 GBP at current exchange rates. VAT has been paid.
