WB1 DE (Diesel-Hybride)

On the WB1-E, the electric version of the WB1, you experience silent and vibration-free sailing without greasy fingerprints and complicated maintenance.

WB1 Diesel-Hybrid – power, silence, and pure experience on the water

Discover the WB1 Diesel-Hybrid, the latest evolution of our iconic WB1. This luxurious and robust sloop combines the power of Vetus diesel engines with the whisper-quiet electric drive from Waterworld. A unique collaboration where technology, innovation, and emotion come together – for those who want to get the most out of every boating trip.

The perfect balance between power and silence
The new diesel-hybrid drive of the WB1 has been developed in collaboration with Vetus and Waterworld. You can choose between a 27 hp or 33 hp Vetus diesel engine, combined with a 4 kW electric motor from Waterworld.
The result: smooth acceleration, powerful performance, and the ability to sail fully electric. Effortlessly switch from diesel to electric — for quiet trips through nature reserves or relaxing moments in the harbor.

The WB1 Diesel-Hybrid delivers full-throttle experience, with a sustainable character. Whether you want to drift peacefully or sail towards the horizon, the WB1 responds immediately, quietly, and powerfully – just as you want it.

100% Dutch craftsmanship
The WB1 is a product of pure Dutch quality. The sloop is entirely built by our parent company: Jachtwerf Nicolaas Witsen – one of the oldest and most respected shipyards in the Netherlands, known for its craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Each WB1 is handcrafted, with passion, precision, and love for the craft. No mass production, but true Dutch mastery on the water.

Design with character
The WB1 is known for its sturdy, timeless lines and thoughtful details. The bollards, the towing eye behind the steering wheel, the spacious deck with luxurious seating – everything breathes craftsmanship and quality.

The stylish top deck gives the sloop a high-quality, contemporary appearance. This synthetic alternative to teak wood is durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to sun and saltwater. This way, your WB1 remains as beautiful year after year as on the first day.

Fully customizable – your WB1, your style
Every owner has their own style – and we understand that. That’s why the WB1 Diesel-Hybrid is fully customizable. Think of:

- Cockpit lighting for atmospheric evening trips
- Cooling for refreshing drinks on board
- Toilet facilities for extra comfort during long trips
- Bimini top for protection against sun and wind
- Audio set for your favorite music on the water

Everything is possible – your wishes form the blueprint of your perfect sloop.
