Worldwide trust, built on excellence
This really is a once in a generation opportunity – it’s rare to find such a beautiful boat on a residential mooring with almost 80 years remaining on the current lease. The boat is incredibly light and spacious with some stunning views over the harbour and the perfect location for anyone who loves seaside living and boating.
Chris Hill
This converted work boat offers unusually light and open living spaces – the highlight for me is the unusually large floor to ceiling bifold doors leading on to the bow deck and the lovely open top deck space.
Every room has an en-suite so it’s a perfect house for entertaining.
