Fresh over from the Netherlands is this great little liveaboard. There is no wasted space on this boat with a smooth running four cylinder inboard diesel engine that you can helm from the wheelhouse or flybridge. Navigation is aided by a bow thruster.

Having been well maintained, the hull has retained its thicknesses throughout. Provided you adhere to the maintenance schedule, you can confidently expect many, many years of faithful service.

This popular layout allows you to make use of the outside flybridge for entertaining or watching the world go by. She’s perfect for cruising, you’ll have no trouble steering or mooring this lovely boat.

As an imported Dutch cruiser, she’ll need a BSS inspection and this usually entails some remedial works (allow for around £800 to do this). There’s a sea toilet which we’ve capped off with a welded plate. Additionally we will repaint the hull and attach new anodes so she’s ready to sail away.

There’s a hob, water heater, sink, fixed double aft and collapsible table converting into a double in the front cabin.

These Dutch steel cruisers offer such tremendous value; narrowboats of this size and condition are selling for as much as twice the price. We can deliver anywhere in mainland UK (call for a quote). We can offer hard-standing space here at the marina for you to work on the boat (at a cost of £188 per month) or you can cruise off immediately. There is no mooring offered with this boat.
