Remarks

American designed, but built here in the UK, the Cruisers International Holiday 224 offers an open plan layout which can sleep up to four. Suitable for both river or sea (suitably equipped and skippered) use, this sports cruiser is also an ideal starter boat. This example would appear to have been very well maintained, with new canopy and soft furnishings in 2017, engine rebuild and outdrive service in 2018, and an engine service and new BSS certificate issued just this year. She was purchased by the current owner in February 2020, and is now offered for sale as the owner has purchased a larger motorboat. A great motor cruiser which is ready to provide her new owners with a summer of fun afloat!

MOORING: It's understood that the vessel's southern Broads mooring can be transferred to the purchaser subject to agreement from the mooring owner (current cost £374.40 per quarter).
