Broker's Comments

As the brand suggests, an ideal river cruiser for family and friends!

Bags of room for long term cruising with really good vision all round and a rear view TFT screen to aid stern on mooring.

She has an up-top outside sundeck, a large and a comfortable interior comprising of a well laid out aft cabin with en suite, and an also well laid out forward cabin with en suite, both of which are spacious with showers!

The saloon has more than adequate space for social gathering with a very workable galley.

She has a bow thruster which was fitted in February 2021, a great help when mooring up a 40ft boat! A new leisure battery was installed in 2024 and the engine last had full service this year (2024).

There is a current BSC which runs until 2026.

All invoices for work carried out during the current ownership is available to view (Amounting to £14,000)!
