Remarks

This very well presented Norfolk Broads river cruiser has a lovely, and surprisingly spacious, cabin with comfortable accommodation for two. She has been well maintained, and has the benefit of a diesel inboard engine. It's understood that a mooring on the Southern Broads is available subject to negotiation and agreement from the mooring owner (currently paid for until 31st March 2013).
