2008 57ft Cruiser Stern Narrowboat For Sale

I am reluctantly selling my 57ft cruiser stern narrowboat after 4+ good years living aboard full time as a continuous cruiser.

She is fully set up for off-grid living with 600 Watts of solar power by a Victron charge controller. The previous owners spent most of their time in a marina so she is fully equipped for marina life as well with an immersion heater and even a washing machine (both can only be used on shore power or with a very good generator).

The battery bank consists of 4 110 Amp batteries giving 440 amp in total.

She was built in 2009 by Wheelton Narrow Boats and is powered by a Beta Marine 38 Engine which has been serviced each year. The BSS is good until 2025.

She has 12v lighting and sockets throughout and 24v power is also supplied via a Victon Multiplus inverter (3000 Watt I think) with regular household plug sockets throughout as well.

Hot water is supplied by either running the engine, the Webasto heater or the immersion heater. The freshwater tank holds 615 litres of water.

The boat has canvas covers at both the bow and stern. Both can be completely enclosed to create extra rooms/storage in the winter.
She has fitted blinds throughout except in the bathroom which is frosted glass.

Layout of the boat –

From the spacious rear deck with seating, you enter the bedroom which has a fixed double bed which comes with a double ‘Emma’ memory foam mattress with lots of storage space beneath. there is also a cupboard for extra storage above the bed.

From the bedroom, you enter a narrow corridor with the bathroom leading off to the left.

The bathroom contains a Thetford cassette toilet with electric flush, a wash basin with a small cupboard beneath, a hip bath and a shower unit.

We then enter the kitchen which is split on both sides so you walk through the center.

The kitchen contains lots of cupboard and drawer space, a twin sink, a fridge, a gas oven with a 4-ring hob and a washing machine. The kitchen also includes a side hatch.

After the kitchen, the rest of the boat is open-plan.

We start with the lounge area which consists of a large area containing a Firefox multi-fuel stove, a fitted unit on one side with a 12v TV, a cupboard with a 12v switch panel and a double fold-out sofa bed.

there is a doorway at the boat’s bow leading to a small well deck with 2 front storage lockers that also act as seats.

As well as the multi-fuel stove the boat also has 4 radiators throughout the boat which run off a Webasto diesel heater.
