Broker's Comments
Boatshed Kent are pleased to be presenting this unique steel motor yacht which was built to the design of a Scandinavian trawler in Norway and fitted out in London, as a yacht.
When I visited this yacht I could see she has plenty of space outside and in, and provides an opportunity for both living onboard and for extensive cruising. From the history, and as detailed in the listing, we can see that this boat has benefited from extensive investment and refurbishment.
The forward decks are wide and provide plenty of working space. With the addition of a wheelhouse creating an extension of the living space and all round views and protection from the weather and for relaxing in.
She is tidy and well presented, with good accommodation, headroom and space throughout and providing plenty of storage. With a light spacious master cabin and an open, spacious saloon providing two further drop down double berths, also with a separate well equipped galley and heads with a shower. Lovely woodwork and a traditional yet contemporary feel. Currently she is also self sufficient and ideal for off-grid living.
With a some exterior painting and maintenance, this is an ideal opportunity to purchase a boat with a range of potential uses, an ideal and attractive live-aboard or cruising platform.
This sale also includes a new dinghy and hardly used outboard.
If you would like any further information, or to organise a personal viewing, then please contact our office and one of the team will be pleased to help.
