Broker's Comments

This is a delightful classic motor yacht which makes a fantastic liveaboard with a residential mooring in central London.

Step aboard and you know you’re on a true classic. Built by Thornycroft in 1928, this former pilot boat was built for speed but she’s now set up for a rather more tranquil existence.

There’s character in abundance, with some really clever modern design touches, the combination of which makes this a very desirable houseboat. The interior space is bright and welcoming with a fully glassed wheelhouse and a really cool saloon area. Unusually for a boat of this size, there’s masses of storage space, including wardrobes, bookshelves, lockers and a huge space below the aft deck.

Very bright and airy wheelhouse / saloon with 'U' shaped seating and a removable saloon table. A hatch in saloon floor leads to a huge storage area below (via steps).

Amidships is a newly refurbished galley area - also heads (toilet) and wash basin. There's a study / office area and masses of storage space including wardrobes and bookshelves - and even a 'secret' fold-away ironing board.

She comes with a transferable central London residential mooring licence in one of London's most sought-after marinas (South Dock Marina SE16), which supports a lively social life and a great community. The marina is close to Canary Wharf and the City, so this could make a great pied-a-terre for a city worker.

There is a 10% transfer fee, payable to Southwark Council. Mooring Fees: £7,725 per year (£645 per month approx).

BSS valid to October 2028
