Broker's Comments

A very well presented and cared for Calypso 28 having been tastefully upgraded and benefitting from having a bow thruster and electric windlass fitted.
Offering a double berth and en suite in the aft cabin and the option of a further double in the saloon.
The upholstery, galley, soft furnishings and helm have all been upgraded to a good standard and the boat is very clean and dry.
This is by far one of the better examples of these popular wide beam Broads style cruisers
