(Price Lowered from £68,000 - 06/04/25) - To expedite the sale - We inherited the boat and I am living overseas and sadly can not get back to take it over.
A one of a kind, rare and incredible boat. With an equally incredible history. The highlight being the Lister engine followed by the Belgium ship builder's hull design. In the words of my Father '"This thing is a beast". With all of it's unique features and extra potential, it really is both a beauty and a beast.
Specialists so far have advised it is hard to even value the boat due to what it is. The listed price is certainly lower than what it could reach. This reflects our expedited need to pass it to a new loving owner. As much as we are all a 'boat family' - this boat is beyond our keeping. We inherited this beautiful boat and sadly can not keep it at this time.
It needs some cosmetic uplifting after two winters of harsh element exposure and a little circumstantial neglect. It has been previously refurbished and interior designed for a couple or small family. The Captains quarters boasts a double bed area then a walk through the toilet, then kitchen, brings you to the living room with a space fit for a fold out sofa bed (as pictured).
Currently moored in the beautiful Berkshire countryside in private mooring (This could also be included in the sale with 4 months left on the current contract) - We can negotiate the mooring be transferred over to a new name. Mooring for a boat this size is hard to obtain and usually means bidding. And waiting. You could potentially skip this and continue the mooring that the boat currently has.
So in short. A spectacular boat. With mooring potentially already secured for the new owner. Also a boat ready to be fired up and navigated away. The last voyage was a three week trip from the North to the South of England two years ago. People recognise the sound of the Engine from locks ahead. Really is a special boat and would usually command a higher price if we only had the means to restore it to it's former quality. This could potentially be a money maker for someone who knows their stuff.
We hope the photos speak for themselves and welcome any additional photo/video requests, calls or viewings.
