Broker's Comments
Dutch steel cruiser for sale in the south of France. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this most unusual and and what seems to be a very solidly built Dutch steel cruiser for sale.
Wide and businesslike side decks and foredeck, rock solid as I moved around, this felt like a very reassuring boat for serious cruising. The aft "fly bridge" deck affords great views of the surrounding countryside and the inside is really well laid out for extended cruising or live aboard lifestyle.
Our vendor has owned the boat for 16 years and has cruised the canal du Midi area for most of that time so in spite of imposing dimensions (which make her nice and spacious inside) she passes not only the Capestang bridge but will cruise down the Canal de la Robine to Narbonne.
Health issues are preventing continued use and our vendor has not been able to keep up with the outside paintwork as he would have liked recently.
Take a good look at our photos, videos and VR. For more information and appointments to view, please contact Graham, your local Boatshed broker at Boatshed Midi Canals.
These boat details are subject to contract.
