Broker's Comments

Boatshed Hayling Island is proud to be able to offer for sale this unique MFV.
There are boy boats and there are girl boats, but this is a man's boat. A 1944 Admiralty MFV that has been rebuilt from top to bottom with scant regard for cost, or for the worlds remaining rain forests for that matter. It is a joy to see so much exquisite furniture made from wood that screams out to be polished into an even richer, deeper lustre. It is a pleasure to see such craftsmanship, in such glorious detail. As I mentioned before, this is a mans boat and as such it maybe misses one vital ingredient. That is, a woman's touch.
Find that missing ingredient and you will have a superb party boat, a glorious liveaboard and all on top of a hull and engine capable of taking you anywhere.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Admiralty MFV 65 Liveaboard has been personally photographed and viewed by Ross of Boatshed Hayling Island. Click here for contact details.
