Preliminary details: awaiting confirmation by owner.

A classic passenger ferry built by Morgan Giles in 1937 and registered as a National Historic Ship. She’s been in the same ownership since the 1940s and was most recently operated as the Torquay - Babbacombe passenger ferry. She was coded MCA class 6, maximum 50pax, up to 1-mile offshore (1st boat in UK to get equivalency not required to carry liferafts).
She is currently wintering ashore and will undergo re-fit work demonstrating the owner’s ongoing commitment to her well being.

This boat has been viewed and photographed by Nick Morton of Boatshed Brixham. Register or log in to see more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.
