The space
You will have exclusive access to this beautiful boat which comfortably sleeps 2-8 people in 4 cabins. Cabins 1 & 2 each have a cosy double bunk, and cabins 3 & 4 have bunk beds. In each room there are large skylights giving the whole boat a light and spacious feeling. There is an extra charge for groups with over 6 people, with a maximum of 8 guests altogether.

The boat is accessed by a gangway from the harbour wall onto the deck to ensure safe and easy boarding. It is locked by a combination padlock on the main hatch. Accommodation is accessed by 2 hatches, the main hatch taking you into the open-plan saloon/ galley (kitchen), and the second takes you from the cockpit into the first cabin, which can also be accessed from the rest of the accommodation area.

On deck there is a large cockpit (outdoor seating area) for you to eat outside, relax and read a book on a sunny day, or enjoy a sundowner.

The light and spacious saloon lounge/dining area with comfortable seating is the perfect place for a group to sit and enjoy some evening drinks and a board game together. With board games, playing cards and books on board for your enjoyment.

In the colder months there is heating on board, two small plug in radiators and a fan heater. There are also 6 hot water bottles for extra warmth at night.

The adjacent kitchen includes a coffee machine, kettle, microwave, fridge, and crockery. We also supply kitchen roll and basic cleaning
equipment.

There is one bathroom on board with a toilet, sink and hot shower. On the quay next to the boat there is a toilet cubicle for your use exclusively.

There are 3 fire extinguishers and a fire blanket for your safety located throughout the boat. There is also a smoke alarm in the kitchen.

Other things to note
