Broker's Comments
Here we have a nice example of the popular Aquabell 28 river cruiser.
These boats offer good accommodation for a couple with the added benefit of being able to accommodate a further couple in the saloon when required. These sedan style boats have a very large aft sundeck area for their size which makes this a very flexible and practical design in a compact and easy to handle package.
This particular boat has been continuously updated and added to by her owners. She has a current Boat Safety Certificate to 2023 and is serviced.
She is powered by a splendidly clean and well running Vetus M4.15 Diesel engine with 271 declared hours. The access to this engine is incredible and very easy to access all of her technical systems under the lift up aft sundeck.
From the aft sundeck moving forward through large sliding glass doors, you enter the spacious and bright saloon with "U" shaped sofas to port that are well trimmed and comfortable. These convert to a large double for accommodating guests that stay over. To starboard the ample galley offers good storage and cooking facilities with hob, oven, grill, fridge and basin.
Ahead of the galley to starboard is the helm station which gives good views all round.
Heading down the two small steps through the companionway, you have a large heads and shower compartment to port.
Lastly, nestled in the bow is a good sized Vee berth that converts to a good sized double berth.
The boat appears to be in generally good condition with some minor areas that would benefit for tidying up but these are purely minor cosmetic improvements.
The exterior has been fully repainted in 3 pack paint used on airliners and looks to have been very well done indeed. She is very attractive in her blue hull and white topsides.
The addition of diesel warm air heating, 240v Inverter, and a solar panel help make this a cosy all year cruiser, that will be very economical to run and simple to handle. This boat comes with screen and hatch covers too.
