Alice

A 40ft 1980 Dartline 2 berth cruiser stern narrowboat.

  • £39,500.00
  • 2 Berth

Meet Alice, a beautifully compact and stylish narrowboat, perfect for small crews to seek their own wonderland on our stunning waterways.

Painted in a cheerful spring green livery with contrasting light grey pram hood and sides at the stern, Alice also benefitted from a fresh blacking in November 2025 and has a Boat Safety Certificate valid until July 2029.

Enter through the stern door, on your left is a bathroom fitted with a shower, basin and cassette toilet.

Moving through the boat, the rest of the interior is open plan with a fresh rustic feel. The galley is equipped with a 4 burner hob, oven and grill, a Belfast style ceramic sink with mixer tap and an undercounter fridge. To the left there is a curved breakfast bar.

The saloon and sleeping area has a Morso Squirrel solid fuel stove, a good amount of space for the new owner to furnish as they wish, a chest of drawers and wardrobe. The front of the cabin in the photos is shown set up as a bed, but this can be reverted back to seating also. Doors above this area lead out onto a bow deck.

Alice has had some steel over plating work done, Base - 6mm, Hull sides 5mm, bow area 5mm and swim plates - 5mm.
