PROFILE: Peter Bosgraaf

As part of an ongoing series of profiles of Dutch yacht designers and naval architects, we talked to Peter Bosgraaf whose office sits on the edge of Amsterdam’s canal-laced heart.

AMSTERDAM – Not long ago, a rich Canadian bought a house on an Amsterdam canal. And shopped around for a hybrid-powered lobster boat to enjoy the city’s centuries-old waterways as well as fishing in Canada.

Via a local yard and a canal boat captain, he connected with yacht designer Peter Bosgraaf who, over 25 years, has amassed a portfolio of 75+ boat types: sail, motor, rowing and house boats. What was, understandably, missing was a lobster boat – the totemic craft of North America.

The lobster boat is a.k.a. ‘ the pickup truck of the Maine coast.’ Every year, lobster men and women race in what you might call the world championships in Maine, doing 40 mi/hr. and more.

For his Canadian client, Bosgraaf drew a semi-displacement, composite lobster boat with a foam-core, sandwich hull reinforced by glass-fiber and epoxy resin. It can do 15 knots, has an underwater hull that starts sharp but, going aft, turns into a flaring plane. It has a big skeg to protect the propeller.

The boat sleeps 2 below the foredeck, a space that also boasts a cupboard, a toilet and a galley. The wheelhouse is an uncomplicated, straight-up affair, reflecting the craft’s workboat origins. Its 1.9m crawl space gets the boat under most of Amsterdam’s 1,500 or so bridges. Built at Bouwmeester Shipyard in the Dutch capital, the lobster boat has a 110HP Volvo D3 and a swimming platform.

The lobster boat is part of a drumbeat of diverse, innovative design solutions coming off the boards at Bosgraaf Yacht Design. If the lobster boat evokes days gone by, his portfolio also includes the 9.5m Domani E32 – a superfast, futuristic electric chase boat whose engine is used in EV racing and aviation.

The engine is by YASA, the British maker of electric motors for high-performance cars such as the Jaguar C-X75 and the Koenigsegg Regera. Oxford-based YASA makes e-motors and generators for the off-road, marine, industrial and aerospace sectors.

“A tricky shape to get right,” Bosgraaf says of the tjalk. “I had many discussions with the cutter of the steel plates. Shaping steel means stretching it. But you get to a point when there’s no more stretch left.” Still, the hybrid propulsion boat weighs 51 tons which is relatively light.

Also, from the Bosgraaf stable: a carbon-reinforced, core foam dinghy that comes in 3 lengths – 2.77, 3.11 and 3.44m, each with a beam of 1.5m. It is a more hard-wearing alternative to inflatable dinghies. Bosgraaf’s gave his dinghy a generous bump rail and 4 oars. It can also be fitted with an outboard engine.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
