ZANZIBAR £43,000

Built by South West Durham in 1991, this 52ft traditional narrowboat has been in the same ownership since 1994.

Inside, the traditional layout offers a crossbed double, cosy saloon with solid fuel stove and sofa bed, compact galley and shower room. There is also excellent storage throughout, diesel central heating, and a practical electrical specification including a 1.8kW inverter and solar panel.

KISKA III ~ ELEGANT DUTCH BARGE STYLE

We are delighted to be marketing this beautiful vessel for the fourth time, having previously sold her as Tickety Boo.

GRADY | A BOAT WITH PEDIGREE **UNDER OFFER**

Built by the respected Les Allen & Sons with a fit-out by Teddesley Boat Co, Grady is presented to the market in very good condition.

The traditional layout provides an aft bedroom, shower room, galley and forward saloon, with bench seating that converts to two single berths and a dining area.

The galley is well equipped with a full-size gas cooker, microwave and under-counter 12V fridge, while the shower room includes a shower cubicle, washbasin and pump-out toilet with direct-to-tank discharge.

Hot water is provided by the engine, boiler or immersion heater, with an Alde gas boiler supplying central heating to radiators.

CLOUD 9 | COMPACT YET CAPABLE

If you are looking for a boat that is easy to handle but still offers plenty of comfort, Cloud 9 is well worth a look.

At 40ft, this cruiser stern narrowboat was built and fitted out by Severn Valley Boat Centre in 2002, with an oak-faced plywood interior and solid oak cappings. The layout offers comfortable accommodation, including a saloon with a make-up double for guests, making her equally suited to holidays, extended cruising or cosy life afloat.

We particularly like the attractive sweeping U-shaped galley worktop, with gas cooking, fridge with ice box and microwave. The recently installed pump-out toilet, generous electrical specification and two 215W solar panels add further practicality.

Compact, versatile and capable of taking you almost anywhere on the inland waterways.

CANTERBURY SWAN ~ A boat for the traditional boating enthusiast

Some boats deserve a second look, and Canterbury Swan is one of them.

A great example of the craftsmanship associated with Canal Transport Services, she combines flowing traditional lines with a nicely crafted interior featuring oak and painted finishes, leading into a traditional scumbled and painted Boatman’s cabin.

At the heart of the boat is her magnificent Gardner 4LK 57hp diesel engine, housed in its own dedicated cabin and delivering that unmistakable rich, mellow exhaust note.

At 57ft, she is perfectly suited to exploring the inland waterways, while a Kabola diesel boiler, solid fuel stove and range provide warmth and comfort. Add a full-width shower room, 24V electrical system, 3kW pure sine wave inverter/charger, 2.8kW petrol generator and three 100W solar panels, and she provides a practical and comfortable vessel for life afloat.
