Breehorn 44 – Exceptional Dutch-Built Koopmans Bluewater Cruiser

A beautifully maintained Breehorn 44, combining the timeless lines and renowned seaworthiness of a Dick Koopmans Sr. design with the craftsmanship and build quality for which the Dutch Breehorn yard is so highly regarded.

This is a yacht for the experienced sailor: elegant, exceptionally solid and designed from the outset for safe and comfortable offshore cruising. With her balanced sailing characteristics, protected cockpit and practical deck layout, the Breehorn 44 is equally at home cruising European waters or undertaking extended bluewater passages.

Recently upgraded – stunning dark blue hull

A particularly attractive feature of this yacht is her appearance. In 2026, the hull was professionally repainted in a stylish deep dark blue by the original Breehorn yard, giving her an exceptionally elegant and timeless appearance. Below the waterline, the yacht has been treated with Coppercoat, providing a durable and low-maintenance alternative to conventional antifouling. 

The dark blue hull is beautifully complemented by the white Seldén mast and boom, retaining the understated and purposeful appearance that suits a classic Koopmans design so well.

Effortless sailing with a small crew

Despite her size and genuine offshore capabilities, this Breehorn 44 has been equipped to be comfortably handled by a couple or small crew. Both the mainsail and genoa are electrically furling, making sail handling, reefing and reducing sail straightforward and controlled. This is an important advantage when cruising shorthanded and makes the yacht particularly attractive to owners who want the capability of a substantial 44-foot sailing yacht without requiring a large crew.

The Koopmans pedigree

The unmistakable lines are from Dick Koopmans Sr., one of the best-known names in Dutch yacht design. Koopmans yachts have earned an excellent reputation among experienced sailors for their seaworthiness, predictable behaviour, directional stability and timeless design philosophy. Rather than following short-lived trends, these yachts were conceived around the fundamental qualities required at sea. The result is a yacht that inspires confidence when conditions become more demanding while remaining comfortable and rewarding to sail.

Dutch craftsmanship by Breehorn

Breehorn yachts occupy a special position within Dutch yacht building. Rather than being mass-produced, they were constructed with considerable attention to structural integrity, detailing, technical installations and long-term durability. The partnership between Breehorn craftsmanship and Koopmans naval architecture created yachts that appeal particularly to knowledgeable cruising sailors: strong, practical, elegant and designed to cover serious distances. This Breehorn 44 is an excellent example of that philosophy.

Only approximately 670 engine hours

The yacht has been very carefully maintained throughout her ownership and presents accordingly. The engine has recorded only approximately 670 running hours, remarkably modest for a yacht of this age and cruising capability. Combined with the professionally repainted hull, Coppercoat underwater treatment, Seldén rig and electrically furling mainsail and genoa, this represents a particularly attractive opportunity for someone looking for a proven, high-quality cruising yacht.

A yacht for sailors who know what they are looking for
