Remarks

The Hampton Safari 25 is an almost iconic Broads motor cruiser! At just 25ft 6in overall in length, she offers well appointed, single level accommodation for up to 4 people (with a good galley, huge heads, and sufficient privacy to allow two couples to stay on board in comfort) coupled with easy handling and low mooring costs, and her low air draft ensures that she can cruise throughout the entire Broads river network. The Mark III/Mark 3 version has a large sunroof over the saloon and forward well, rather than a sliding canopy, affording her occupants a little more privacy whilst cruising or when moored up. The forward and rear doors, together with the large sliding side windows, allow lots of ventilation and the ability to bring the outdoors in when desired, and the forward well provides a further accommodation/entertaining space, ideal for enjoying that evening sundowner or early mooring coffee! A modern day Broadland classic!

MOORING: The vessel's very desirable northern Broads mooring is currently paid to 31st June 2022 and is believed for be transferable subject to agreement from the mooring owner.
