Broker's Comments

This is one of my favourite listed boats. It has to be mentioned first that she is made out of GRP and not wood as her looks may deceive. It follows that this is a traditional looking trawler and will appeal to many that wish to own something different.

The first impression is that this boat has been extremely well cared for and equipped extremely well. The owner mentions that she is extremely economical at her cruising speed as she has a large fuel capacity and therefore has a long range allowing for choices on where best to refuel.

This boat is also ideal as a liveaboard in Gibraltar where she is currently berthed.

This boat should be viewed as I am confident that nobody will be disappointed.

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

Owners FAQ's

How long have you owned the boat for?

Just over 2 years.

Why are you selling her?

Difficult to find the time to use her.

Where have you sailed her?

In the Mediterranean. This boat presents the rare combination of a genuinely comfortable live-aboad with an economic long-range ability....She is seaworthy and properly equiped, ready to go where you want- whether that be a quiet night on the mooring or departure for Malta or even Cairo...!
