Founded in 1950 at Drachten in Friesland and still a family firm. It specialises in steel motor cruisers for the Dutch waterways, which it builds and charters itself. Every De Drait on Adriavela is a motor boat.
Adriavela lists 57 De Drait boats. They cover 25 separate models, the largest groups being De Drait DeLuxe 42 (7), De Drait Renal 36 (5) and De Drait Renal 50 (5). Lengths run from 7.5 to 15 metres. Accommodation runs to 1 to 7 cabins and 2 to 14 berths. Build years run from 1969 to 2016.
Every one of them is based in Netherlands. Prices start at €256 a day on a 7-day charter, across the 4 boats that carry a published rate; the rest are quoted on request. Under power the day is planned by distance rather than by wind, which suits a group working through a lot of coast in a week.
