Broker's Comments

an opportunity to aquire a very popular brand used for live aboards as well as coastal and river cruising. With the arch lowered she has an approximate airdraft of only 3.65m. The exterior and especially the flybridge does need some restoration and tlc as shown in the photos. Below there is a lot of room indeed with double cabins both forward and aft and an additional bunk cabin along with 2 heads and a separate shower room. The family are very keen to sell as soon as possible and will consider any reasonable offer. These boat details are subject to contract.
