Nicky 530

Nicky 530 sloop (2007) – spacious polyester sloop with Suzuki 10 hp The Nicky 530 is an accessible, practically laid-out sloop for those who want to cruise comfortably on lakes and rivers. This 2007 example combines manageable dimensions with a remarkably spacious cockpit, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed day on the water with family or friends. With a length of 5.30 metres, a beam of 2.80 metres and a shallow draft of approx. 40 cm, this sloop is also suitable for shallower routes and moorings that larger boats cannot always reach. The polyester hull makes the boat easy to maintain, and the weight of approx. 400 kg keeps it manageable both underway and for transport and storage. Nicky 530 sloop now in the online auction.

Design, layout and onboard comfort What immediately stands out about this Nicky 530 sloop is the spacious cockpit—an important advantage for day trips and recreational use. The seating and the included outdoor cushions create a comfortable setting, while the exterior helm position with steering wheel provides a clear view of the boat and surroundings. This makes manoeuvring in marinas and alongside jetties straightforward, even for less experienced skippers. The sloop styling is timeless and focused on relaxed cruising: easy boarding, an open-cockpit experience and enough room for several people to sit without it feeling cramped. Handling and performance with Suzuki outboard engine The boat is equipped with a 10 hp Suzuki outboard engine with electric start. This power output suits the character of a 5.30-metre sloop well: calm, controlled and ideal for cruising on inland waters. On rivers and lakes, this setup offers a pleasant balance between manoeuvrability and directional stability, allowing comfortable cruising without the engine power dominating. The petrol engine is operational and is supported by one battery on board, making starting and the use of onboard functions practical. Buyers should note that the throttle lever is slightly loose; this is a specific point of attention that you can easily include in your own check or adjustment. Equipment: canopy, shade and ease of use This Nicky 530 comes with a set of features that make boating enjoyable in various weather conditions. On board you will find a bimini for shade on sunny days and a sprayhood that provides shelter in wind or light rain. Fenders and lines are also included, making docking and mooring immediately easy. The swim ladder adds extra enjoyment on warm days—for example, for swimming from the boat or getting back on board easily after a dip. A key advantage is that a winter cover and summer cover including cushions are supplied; this set is approximately three years old. This gives you flexibility for both the boating season and the storage period, and keeps the cockpit neatly covered when the boat is not in use. Maintenance information and usage history The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025, which is a relevant moment for inspection and care of the hull and equipment. The last antifouling treatment dates from 2021. The sloop has been used on lakes and rivers, mainly for day cruising; this matches the type of boat and the chosen engine setup well. Who is this Nicky 530 an interesting choice for? This Nicky 530 is a logical option for anyone looking for a beginner-friendly boat with a spacious cockpit, simple operation and a complete basic equipment package. Think relaxed trips through nature areas, an afternoon drifting on the lake, or a route past cosy moorings and waterside terraces. Thanks to the combination of compact length, wide build and shallow draft, this is a sloop that feels at home on a variety of inland waters, while the included covers, cushions and practical accessories clearly enhance comfort and ease of use.
