The Fisher 30 was the first of the hugely popular pilot house style motorsailors, based upon the sea-keeping abilities of North Sea trawlers. Over 250 were built throughout the 1970's and 80's and I am sure that the majority are still cruising somewhere, they really were made to last. As you go aboard you notice how safe and secure everything feels. The custom cut out bulwark allows you to step up easily and it slides back in whilst underway. You step down into the shelter of the cockpit and then it's the wheelhouse helm and seating area which really does make the Fishers true all-weather b... read more

Nelson's are famous the world over. Built in the UK, the first designs were timber in the 1960s and, as early innovators using GRP, they became known for their excellent build quality. Although well suited for pleasure cruising they are still found working as pilot boats or police and customs launches - they were absolutely built to go to sea! The Nelson 42 is an adaptation of the commercially popular Nelson 40 hull, fuller and higher forward sections make for a drier ride and this particular deck layout makes her a great for coastal cruising. Although famed for their seaworthy qualities t... read more

Henri Wauquiez established an initially small shipyard in 1965 in Northeastern France. With a strong association with British designers (Hood and Dubois amongst them) the yard specialised in quality offshore sailing boats with both performance and comfort in mind. The Wauquiez Centurion range began with the earliest and smallest, the 32 in 1968 and most recently up to the Centurion 61 which was in production in 2021. The Centurion 38 has all the Wauquiez ethos in abundance. Her powerful sloop rig is easily controlled with lines leading into the cockpit and she feels very safe and secure as... read more

This is a STUNNING Bayliner 265 - and I don't say that lightly! This is a retirement sale from vendors who I can see really cherish and care for their boat. First impressions are amazing - she's light, bright and wonderfully clean and polished! She has a lovely, spacious cockpit, with great upholstery and a recent cockpit tent.

As you'll see from her advert, she has been very well looked after in recent years, so if you're... read more

These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Register with Boatshed to see 104 extra photos of this Tr... read more

Take a moment to pause and imagine life on board, surrounded by the countryside and river - it could be bliss! Especially as this boat could come with her own riverside berthing, complete with lawn and large flower bed, by separate negotiation. This Richard Dunston Work Boat is believed to have been built for the Ministry of Defence and based at Portsmouth naval dockyard and used to ferry Royal Navy staff around the harbour and bases located there until 2003, when she was apparently sold to a dive company and converted to a dive vessel until she fell into private hands in 2018. Now she ... read more

The Hood 38 was designed by world renowned yachtsman and sail maker Ted Hood and built in France by Chantiers Wauquiez. They produced a yacht that shows fusion between the styles of boat design at that time. They were strongly built to a high standard with an excellent reputation for seaworthiness and safe comfortable passage-making. The more European sleek lines make her a very attractive looking yacht and so it's surprising when you go below how spacious she is. This is the Mk II, a vastly improved companionway and interior layout from the early boats which were first produced in 1976. Th... read more
