Broker's Comments

The Sovereign 880 is the successor to the Calypso 28 and is an ideal river cruiser offering comfort and practicality. Wide side decks, Stainless grab rails and a superb stern rail offers safety whilst out on deck. There are a fore and aft companionway and fore and aft deck. Ideal for small children to be outside in safety.
There is a large sliding "Sunshine Roof" above the saloon
The boat has hot water, shower and heating along with a full size 4 burner cooker and ice box.
Internally and externally she has been completely stripped and refitted (2005) to a very high standard (Island bed in aft cabin) new upholstery throughout, new cooker, fridge carpets and upholstery etc and a complete re wire. The Perkins diesel engine was also completely rebuilt and has only 10 hours since.
The boat has had very little use since (only 10 hours) being bought in 2005 by the current owner for £35k.
As a result she will need a little cosmetic tlc (mainly deck paint from my observations) but otherwise having a BSC until 2015 she is ready to enjoy.
Since taking the pictures I have given her a good clean and scrub (24.04.12) so she is now looking a lot better than some of the pictures show !!
