Lytton started moulding and building boats in 1978 the Lytton Discovery 850 was
launched. Basically an Elysian Super Sportsman renamed and aimed at the inland waterways market. They managed to produce a very comfortable competent cruiser, with surprising accommodation and good handling qualities. This boat has been in the same ownership since new and has been maintained to a very high standard, giving many river cruisers a run for there money in terms of overall suitability for pleasurable river cruising. There is a lot of history supplied with this boat all of which is available upon viewing.

This Discovery 850 has been personally photographed and viewed by Nick Price of Boatshed Thames. Click here for contact details.
