This boat has saved lives—as the lifeboat of the Theodor Heuss, a rescue cruiser and the lead vessel of the world’s first modern DGzRS rescue cruiser class. Built in 1955, it spent decades riding piggyback on the stern of one of the most significant rescue vessels in German maritime rescue history. There is hardly any other boat on the market with a comparable history.
Today, the boat has been refitted: a cabin for two people, a swimming platform, and ready for trips on inland waters. The original hull—built for reliability even under the most challenging conditions—now embodies joy rather than urgency. A 50 PS Perkins diesel engine with shaft drive: a propulsion system designed for durability that has proven itself over decades.
In good, well-maintained condition; three previous owners. The boat is located in Woltersdorf near Berlin and is available for viewing.
In short: A seaworthy, converted DGzRS rescue boat with verifiable historical provenance—in good condition—for buyers looking for a boat with substance and history, rather than an off-the-shelf model.
