Broker's Comments

A Rampart Twin screw motor yacht, designed by John Desty of Ramparts and built by Rampart Marine in Southampton in 1981. Commissioned in 1984. Ramparts built a range of motor yachts from before the war and were one of the last production yards building wooden motor yachts right up to the 1980's. This is believed to be the last motor yacht built in the yard.
Completely gutted by the current owner, this yacht is a blank canvass and ready to be restored and transformed into a fabulous home on the water.

Please note that the commentary on the video mistakenly calls the boat a Rampart 41. She is in fact Rampart 48 !

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

This Rampart 48 has been personally photographed and viewed by Jason Currie-Smith of Boatshed Plymouth. Click here for contact details.
