Pointer 25 Buyer's Guide
The Pointer 25 is a 25ft 3in Dutch coastal cruiser from Jachtwerf Heeg, designed by Van de Stadt and in production since 2015. She pairs a modular cabin with a modern fin-bulb keel and a sporty fractional rig, aimed at sheltered-water cruising and short coastal hops rather than bluewater passage work. For a shopper looking at used Pointer 25s, she rewards a close look at keel configuration and the bare-bones below-decks fit.
Layouts on the Used Market
Most boats follow the standard plan: a V-berth double forward, two singles aft making four berths, a small galley to port, and a heads locker to starboard that hides a chemical toilet with no enclosed alternative. Headroom is sitting-only by design, and the moulded liner keeps things neat but basic. The large cockpit with full-length benches and drop-down transom platform carries through, as does tiller steering with a midships mainsheet. Because the interior is modular, individual boats vary in how owners specified storage and trim, but none will offer more than weekending stowage.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, a swim platform is often seen, and many boats carry a code zero for light-air reaching. Less common but worth noting as owner upgrades are a bow thruster, teak decks, cockpit shower, AIS, autopilot, and chartplotter. For buyer consequence, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — the standard 10hp Yanmar diesel or the optional 4kW electric motor — and navigation, where a chartplotter and AIS show up as periodic upgrades. Canvas and sail handling sometimes include a sprayhood and furling downwind deck gear, but these are not universal.
What to Inspect
The defining quirk is the wiring run along the inside of the hull just below the deck, which supports the hanging stowage bags anchor; check that these wires and their anchors are intact and not corroding the hull liner. Confirm which keel the boat carries — standard 1.10m, deeper 1.50m, or shoal 0.80m twin-rudder — since there is no lifting keel and draft changes the boat's character. Verify the heads arrangement is the locker-hid chemical type with no enclosed option, and that the modular liner shows no cracks from owner reconfiguration.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up in the Netherlands and Germany. For a buyer, the short checklist is: decide on keel draft for your waters, accept the open heads and sitting headroom as inherent, confirm the motor type and its condition, and judge the modular interior on your own layout needs.
- Netherlands and Germany are the typical markets
- Pick keel draft: 1.10m standard, 1.50m deep, or 0.80m twin-rudder shoal
- No enclosed heads; sitting headroom only
- Check hull-side wiring for stowage bags
- Yanmar diesel or 4kW electric — verify service history
