Forty six knots and a shallow draught rarely come in the same hull.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS diesel drives give the Wajer 38 a 28 knot cruise and a 46 knot top end, figures earned rather than showy given the boat is built to spend real days on the water rather than a single fast run to dinner. A 0.9 metre draught keeps her nimble at low speed and lets her turn tightly close to shore, while a stiff, well built hull holds its line confidently through wake and chop rather than skipping across it. Range extends to 250 nautical miles on a 730 litre tank, enough to cross open water and still have fuel to spare for the return.
Vripack drew her to look fast standing still.
A low, taut profile and a wide beam of 3.8 metres give the Wajer 38 real presence on the water without resorting to aggressive styling. The shallow draught that defines her handling also shapes her silhouette, a hull that sits confidently at rest and rises cleanly onto the plane. Built in the Netherlands, she carries the quiet, considered finish Wajer is known for: clean deck lines, uncluttered surfaces and a bow designed to convert between dining and lounging depending on the moment. It is a design built for daily use rather than a single impression at the dock.
Sixteen guests can spend the day on board without anyone feeling short of space.
The bow lounge converts between a dining table and open sunpads, letting the layout shift from lunch to lounging in moments. A wet bar sits within easy reach of the cockpit, keeping the social side of the boat close to where guests actually gather. The helm is kept simple and legible, built for a day of use rather than a showcase of screens. It is a deck built around company: room to move, room to sit, and nothing that gets in the way of either.
Below deck, the Wajer 38 keeps things deliberately simple.
A single cabin sleeps two, enough for an owner who wants the option of a night aboard without turning the boat into a cruiser. Some versions of the range add a side door entry, a practical touch for boarding at a low quay or a tender pontoon without stepping over the gunwale. The below deck space stays compact by design, keeping weight low and dedicating most of the boat’s volume to the open deck above, where she is actually used. It is accommodation built for flexibility rather than long stays, a chase boat, a tender, or a day yacht in her own right, depending on the owner.
At 575,000 euros, the Wajer 38 is an accessible way into serious Dutch boatbuilding.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS diesel drives come standard, with a more powerful IPS option available for owners who want the extra margin at the top end. Vripack’s naval architecture and design carry through the whole range, giving the 38 a consistent identity alongside her larger sisters. She suits more than one role: a fast day boat in her own right, a capable tender for a larger yacht, or a first step for an owner moving up from something smaller. Few boats this size offer her combination of range, shallow draught access and genuine build quality.
