Broker's Comments

Here we have a very tidy example of these sought-after Calypso 28 river cruisers.

She is very well presented in bright white with grey tread ways and looks fabulous. She has good front and rear canopies and 240v Shore power fitted and she appears to start and run as she should.

She is very tidy and clean in a fresh and modern layout that is very appealing on the eye and a makes her a fine place to relax afloat.

She has been very well updated with a very nice and roomy shower and toilet compartment and a modern galley with full size gas cooker. The upholstery and linings all appear to be very, very good indeed.

Her Broads toll is paid and the mooring may be available by negotiation with the marina.Her Boat safety certificate runs to April 2024 and she was last serviced about year ago and also antifouled at that time.

The owner has only just bought the boat around a week or two ago (having previously owned her a number of years back) but has, this week, faced a sudden and totally unexpected major change of circumstances and so the boat is going up for sale.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
