Description

Overview
The Enksail Noordkaper is a semi-custom steel sailing yacht designed by Martin Bekebrede and built by Gebroeders van Enkhuizen (Enksail) since 1999. Offered in lengths from approximately 43 to 52 ft (13.0–16.75 m), the Noordkaper is intended for long-distance cruising and extended liveaboard use. Its steel hull, substantial tank capacities and centerboard/centerboard-keel options provide operational versatility from shallow anchorages to ocean passages.

Customization
All Enksail yachts are built semi-custom: owners can specify equipment levels, interior layout and finishes to match crew size and intended sailing areas. Configurations can prioritize long-term onboard living comfort or optimize passage-making systems while preserving the model's structural and engineering standards.
