This EMKA 29 is a practical cruiser for those seeking a manageable size and affordable upkeep. The boat offers a single cabin and four berths, making it perfect for small crew or family trips.
A galley and toilet facility are on board, supporting longer weekends afloat. The layout is straightforward, with a cozy saloon and practical navigation station.
The shallow draft of around 1.40–1.50 meters lets you enter marinas and anchorages that deeper boats can’t reach—ideal for exploring inland waters and coastal areas.
The Bukh 10 diesel engine is a reliable choice for a yacht this size. Maintenance has been carried out recently, so you can expect predictable performance.
With a fuel tank of 20 liters and a fresh water tank of 40 liters, short coastal passages and local cruising are realistic. The tiller steering and deck layout keep handling simple.
For those working with a reasonable budget, this is an interesting option for a medium-sized cruising boat. Smaller boats mean lower mooring and maintenance costs.
