LEKKER Boats Reviews 

I really wanted to like Lekker Boats, but after owning one for a while, I’ve come to the conclusion that reliability is a major issue. For a vessel in this price range, you’d expect solid engineering and peace of mind on the water. Instead, I’ve dealt with constant breakdowns, unexpected electrical problems, and mechanical issues that make every trip feel like a gamble.

Boats are meant to be about freedom and confidence on the water, but with Lekker, I never felt secure. Even after repeated servicing, the same problems kept coming back. It’s incredibly frustrating to invest this much money in a boat and then have to worry whether it will even start or run properly each time.

Lekker’s design and aesthetics may turn heads, but reliability is where the brand really falls short. If you’re looking for something dependable, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

I had to sell our Damsko 750 recently unfortunately, simply not enough time. There is nothing than positives to share about the boat and the Lekker Team. Tough business but they always keep it authentic and with a special vibe. I will come back… thx Christoph

I bought my Lekker Damsko 750 Cabin (pre-owned) early this year at Lekker Boats, Lekker took care of all the paperwork and contract with the previous owner. Excellent delivery and after sales service, for me the service is above expectations. We used the boat for 60 hours this season without any issues. The boat itself is not only rugged but also really fast and fun, it is also a head turner. According to the harbor master in Zaandam it is probably the coolest boat in his harbor :-).

We are happy owners of a damsko 750
Since 2017 the boat is being used at the cap d Antibes. We are enjoying our ride on the sea with friends and family. Nice tours , swimming, water skiing, with the safe feeling that if the weather changes you can go fast to a safe port, with the speed the boat has.
A great buy with a lot of fun

Have owned a Lekker Damsko since little over 3 years now. We all continue to enjoy every minute when on board.

Have read some previous reviews on reduction of speed, which obviously happens when the boat is in the water for a longer time, specially when used in sea water. But after cleaning the boat is at top speed again. Super stable and robust for the size boat.

No material issues over the last 3 years and even the minor things are resolved by Lekker instantly.

Have recommended quite a few friends to purchase a Lekker and some are now seriously considering this after joining us for a few days on board.

Very high value boat and still very up to date in terms of looks and design. We will continue to enjoy our Lekker Damsko for many years to come

Big fan of this very distinctive and fast boat. I have been on boats since I was born and love watersports. I purchased a Damsko 750 in 2020 and absolutely loved the purchasing experience as the boat is fully personalized in terms of colour, fabrics and options and the team was and is great to deal with. And I absolutely love it, wow did it deliver! I can go on a quiet canal cruise with friends, have a BBQ and drinks at the center of the boat, and then finish the day demonstrating its speed and ability. Its a crazy experience. Everyone leaves with a MASSIVE smile. After one season I opted to order a second Damsko 750 with the most powerful engine available at the time and really designed it with a purpose to be my long term boat. I love every minute of owning it (hassle free, within 5 minutes you are ready to go, very very low maintenance) and we love going out on the water on adventures (me, girlfriend and our 2 dogs). Because of its speed and stability this boat has a lot of reach, you get every where cruising comfortably at over 60km/h, or hammering it with a topspeed of 85km/h. It gains a lot of attraction as it is different and FAST. We get a lot of compliments, and people pass by asking about it. As said, my dreamboat and I will not sell soon and fully enjoy! Never had any problem with the boat - zero!

We purchased a brand new Lekker boat and the regular occurrence of breakdowns prevents normal use of the boat and the numerous defects compromise the overall safety of the boat. Our boat was delivered with a faulty engine connection, wrong fuses, a custom ski pole that doesn't fit. These should have been caught during the quality assurance and testing.

We currently deal with electrical issues nearly every time we use the boat. We've had anchor and navigation lights shorting. We've had the bow thruster shorting the last 3 times we've used the boat which requires a mechanic to fix it and it's still an issue.

Lekker does fix issues as they arise however recurring issues keep happening even after their fix.

We were told our boat could fit 50 people on it, then we learned that's only when it's docked. Only 30 people while cruising when we got the owners manual. And now they're saying 25 on their website.

They told us the boat would be fast and be around 50 km/hr with our engine. It's slower than most boats on the water.

We've lost all confidence in this boat and it's been a huge disappointment and stress for our family.

We've asked Lekker to refund our boat, but they've only offered to help us sell it for a commission at much reduced price. That's not an option as there's something terribly wrong with this boat (as stated by an independent boat mechanic who fixed our last electrical issue and recommended a full audit) and we couldn't ethically make this boat some other family's problem.

We purchased a Lekker boat and it was delivered in the summer of 2023. We paid a premium for our boat, and in turn expected a premium product. But what we experienced was problem after problem with our boat and were not able to enjoy it like we expected. When we would get one thing fixed, another would break. The worst for us was getting stranded at sea, not once, but twice. It was dangerous and my children were terrified. This boat has ruined boating for my children and that was something I hoped to be able to share with them, as it was a large part of my childhood. This has been an unfortunate experience for us - as the people at Lekker are good people, but the product they produce is not. We highly regret purchasing a Lekker Boat.
