Bestevaer 49 Katharos

Home › The Fleet › Bestevaer 49 Katharos

With the ‘Katharos’ KM Yachtbuilders has once again delivered an unpainted aluminium yacht. Eeuwe Kooi, shipyard owner: “We’d like to have the chance to show off another painted yacht, but our customers are increasingly opting for a plain hull. That’s a big compliment for our shipbuilders!” The deck features the same basic colours as the interior: a black stripe on the hull just under the freeboard, a black radar unit and a superb black carbon mast and jib. The wheelhouse and superstructure are white, and the deck is light grey. The mast is not only a pretty sight: it also contributes to the outstanding sailing properties of the Katharos. The ship has a length of just over 15 metres, but sails like a dinghy. Light on the helm, fast and manoeuvrable.

WORLD CLASS QUALITY KM YACHTBUILDERS BUILD THE FINEST EXPEDITION EXPLORER YACHTS IN THE WORLD

Bestevaer Design, Quality, & Safety

Dutch built.

Bestevaer yachts are designed by one of the world's best design teams and built by one of the world’s very best yards. Dutch builders are known for crafting some of the best boats in the world and when stepping aboard any of these magnificent vessels, quality is evident everywhere.

Exceptional Strength

Building boats with exceptional strength means that each safety measure is enhanced. Watertight bulkheads, integrated chainplates, welded aluminum bollards, integral tanks, and deep cockpits allow owners to sail with the assurance that they will be safe in even the harshest conditions.

Reliability

Reliability is synonymous with quality and every detail matters in the eyes of the Bestevaer design and build teams, from the construction of the hull to perfectly placed handrails. A quality sailboat built to the highest standards is a safe and reliable boat that provides her owners with comfort at sea.

Exterior Highlights

The pilothouse has excellent visibility and ample space to take a watch to get out of the weather. The feeling of security while in the pilothouse is one of the features that makes every Bestevaer capable of sailing in waters that other vessels avoid.

The cockpit is deep and comfortable, creating a safe and secure space to pilot from. Cockpits on a Bestevaer are protected from wind and seas by the pilothouse and all lines are led to the cockpit so the need for going forward in a sea is greatly mitigated.

Bestevaer sailboats are offered with tiller or wheel steering. The tiller allows for an extra large cockpit while the wheel gives owners a smooth familiar feeling underway. Both are created with excellent sailing in mind.

Excellent Visibility

The visibility from the helm and the 360 degree views from the pilothouse are exceptional and create a design that is very easy to enjoy.

Rig Options

The Bestevaer 49 can be built as a cutter, solent, or left as a sloop. The versatile rig choices are in keeping with KM Yachtbuilders' tradition of creating customizable options on each design.

Fold-Down Swim Platform

Integrated fold-down swim platform, manually operated and accessed from the cockpit. Additional swim ladder for emergency or quick boarding available.

Bestevaer Interiors

While the exterior of Bestevaer sailboats are all aluminum and built to withstand any weather or sailing conditions, the interiors are beautiful, luxurious, and built for comfort. Each Bestevaer is custom built for its owner and the interior can be outfitted with various materials and finishing options to create a yacht that meets your style preferences.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

Whether you enjoy the warm feel of a traditional wood finish, or prefer a sleek and modern look, the interior of the Bestevaer 49 can be customized to your liking. Certain elements of the interior layout can also be modified, such as the size and placement of the galley. Bestevaer works with owners to create a space that meets their lifestyle and cruising needs.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

Interior Highlights

Exceptional craftsmanship.

Every Bestevaer interior is built to the highest standards. From the finest quality carpentry to world renowned metal work, every interior is truly exceptional.

Customizable

While the standard layouts on every model are designed with distance cruising in mind, customizations are always available. Each owner is asked for input on the final interior design of their vessel, which helps create a vessel built to suit her owner's desires.

Spacious pilothouses are a hallmark of the Bestevaer designs. Made of solid aluminum, the pilothouse is a dry comfortable area to work should the weather turn, or a cool spot to relax on a hot day.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

bestevaer 49 motor yacht

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
