The popular bilge keel Mirage 28 makes an ideal family cruiser at a modest price. They are robust, well made and quite swift for a bilge-keeled boat of their era.
Their deep, long cockpits have plenty of room, their clear side decks and uncluttered foredeck make them easy to move around, and the running rigging leads aft to make short-handed sailing a breeze, along with the assistance of an auto-tiller.
The shallow draft makes them ideal for exploring local creeks, whilst down below, t... read more

This vessel was once a fishing trawler and has been undergoing work to become a liveaboard boat.
As can be seen from the media work, this boat is a project boat. She benefits from a fantastic position in the marina with easy access to the marina cafe, toilet and shower block and laundry facilities.
The current owners have worked hard to open the boat up and clear the decks, leaving a blank canvas to develop the boat's cavernous interior into a spacious liveaboard.
The only reason the cu... read more

Discover the charm and history of this unique houseboat!
Constructed with durable steel and featuring a coach roof and superstructure constructed from heavy-gauge box-section steel tubes and clad in bespoke fibreglass panels. A superior and much more costly construction method than many others.
The previous owner invested many hundreds of hours carrying out a full restoration of the vessel in 2012 and 2013. He replated the entire lower hull during this period and completely refitted the in... 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.

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 i... read more
Stepping aboard this vessel she struck me as having a very solid feel about her with her heavy steel construction.
The owner is testament to her sea keeping abilities having sailed her back form Gibraltar where he first purchased her over 26 years ago along with having sailed her around the Azures, Portugal, France and the UK.
Going down below I was very much taken by the solid feel of her build and the beautiful looking woodwork as can be seen from her pictures and video.

One of the most popular Westerly designs, the Fulmar is slightly longer, more streamlined and faster than her predecessors.
Seaworthy, strong and safe, over 400 were built. As a good all-rounder, that is both forgiving and easy to sail, it’s easy to see why so many were used as training vessels.
This example is currently in need of being given some TLC. Being sat in a boatyard, she had accumulated a fair amount of dirt and grime, which is customary with boatyard storage. Nothing how... read more
