Amber

A 50ft 1992 Waterway Builder 2 berth traditional stern narrowboat.

  • £33,000
  • 2 Berth

Amber is a 50ft traditional stern narrowboat built in 1992 by Waterway Builder, combining classic lines with practical accommodation and plenty of character. Previously operated as a café boat, she has an interesting history that adds to her individuality, while today offering a versatile space for cruising or living afloat.

For added peace of mind, Amber benefits from a new Boat Safety Certificate, valid until September 2030.

Powered by a reliable Beta 38 engine, Amber's interior layout is both flexible and inviting. Two dinette areas provide adaptable seating and dining space, making it easy to entertain guests or tailor the layout to suit your needs. A permanent double berth offers comfortable accommodation for a single owner or a couple.

Inside, the cabin has a warm and welcoming feel, with two solid fuel stoves creating a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months. A side hatch brings in additional natural light and ventilation, enhancing the connection to the waterway surroundings. An air heating system was installed in February 2026.

Amber's previous life as a café boat is reflected in her sociable interior, with generous seating areas that lend themselves equally well to entertaining, dining, or simply watching the world go by.

The traditional stern gives Amber a timeless profile and offers the additional benefits of engine room space and classic boating appeal. Combined with practical storage and scope for a new owner to make her their own, Amber presents an appealing opportunity whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, an extended cruiser, or a characterful home on the water.
