The Colvic Watson 28 Motor Sailor is a boat with a very good reputation for their good build quality and sea-keeping abilities. This particular model has a bow sprit and good size bathing platform which add a little to her length overall. Unfortunately, the current owner of this boat has not been able to keep on top of her maintenance due to health reasons. As a result, over the winter, she has suffered internally with a leak having developed somewhere from her coachroof. Rainwater has built up inside the bilge of the vessel and has caused internal damage as can be seen in the pictures... read more

The Rinker 280 Express Cruiser (called the 290 Express Cruiser since 2012) combines a low, entry-level price with the fuel-efficiency that comes with single-engine power. For decades, Rinker has built their name on delivering affordable, well-equipped boats - the intersection between price and value. Built on a solid fibreglass modified-V hull with tall freeboard and a slender 9'1" beam, the user-friendly cockpit of the 280 Express consists of wraparound rear seating, a refreshment centre with sink and storage, portside lounger, and a double helm seat with flip-up bolster.

The Merry Fisher range is the staple of the UK fast fisher market and for great reason. These boats give a great size aft deck suitable for comfortable fishing, as well as a steady hull, giving it the faster planing edge whilst remaining comfortable at anchor. It can also twin as a great entertainment space for lunch in the sun. This Merry Fisher has largely been used as a cruiser up and down the River Orwell and Plymouth Sound so has had only light use in her current ownership. She appears to have been nicely maintained and with the benefit of a great quality, newer cockpit canop... read more

The Fairline Targa 27 is a very popular sports cruiser, with the build quality you would expect.  This version is a tidy, nicely presented boat which appears to have been meticulously maintained by her current owner. She has been in the same ownership for many years and the current owner, being an ex-merchant navy engineer, has personally serviced and maintained both of her engines and outdrives. I think the pictures speak for themselves! Handling these boats has been said to be easy, with twin engines and a large, roomy cockpit which is also great for entertaining and relaxing. ... read more

It must be said that this Fairline 40 seems to be in remarkable condition and, in my view, excellently maintained. I am confident, as I was, that upon boarding, you will be astonished to realise that this vessel is 39 years old! The boat offers abundant space and includes numerous additional features. She appears to have been meticulously maintained and updated by the current owner and is now on hard standing for a scheduled round of further preventative maintenance. For details of the work and upgrades completed, please refer to the listing. The hull, crafted by the renowned des... read more

This pocket-sized family cruiser has a lot going for her. Good sailing performance for her size, and the owner says she handles well with most of her lines leading aft to make solo or shorthanded sailing easy. Her distinctive smoked Perspex side windows give her a sporty appearance as well as plenty of light below and she has an uncluttered, easy to move around deck. Down below the carefully thought out internal design makes maximum use of her interior volume. The open plan saloon has a light and airy feel with a double berth in the forward section and two singles in the saloon when... read more

Designed by David Feltham and built by Cobra/Seawolf Yachts, this pretty pocket cruiser manages to pack a lot into her beamy 23ft. This is the fin keeled version which is said to be speedy, manoeuvrable and sea kindly. This example is tidy & dry down below and with berths for four, a small galley and a private sea toilet, she presents an ideal first time buyers boat. Well maintained, this vessel comes with the added benefit of a reconditioned engine (in 2015) and a dinghy / outboard to complete the package. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking pr... read more

It's not often I struggle with where to begin when writing my Broker's comments but this Alan Buchanan Vashti Class yacht simply stopped me in my tracks when I first stepped aboard. The quality of the craftsmanship of this yacht has to be seen to be fully appreciated. In my opinion she is one of the most beautifully handcrafted yachts I have ever come across. The current owners purchased this yacht over twenty years ago. They had a clear vision then which has taken them over twenty years of hard work and painstaking attention to detail. One of the owners has spent his entire life as prof... read more

This appears to be a tidy example of these solid Colvic designed boats. She is in need of some repair and maintenance work to bring her back to her former glory. Stepping aboard she feels big and spacious with a nice deep cockpit and a good size beam giving plenty of space to move around the aft deck. Moving into the galley saloon area, again it feels nice and spacious with good head height. Her galley is a nice size and feels well proportioned and an adjacent heads compartment which is easily accessed. The forward cabin again feels very large with good head height and storage eit... read more

The current owner has transformed this boat into a wonderfully spacious and in my opinion well thought out liveaboard. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time living onboard, however his circumstances have now changed and he is reluctantly having to move ashore. The owner advises us that the boat can very easily be returned to her former status as a spacious fast cruiser. Over the course of 2019, this Giorgi Cantieri Navali Open 46 has undergone a 12 month £60k refurbishment programme. This has included a professional check and overhaul of the engines & electrics, new navigation equipment, new ... read more
