  • £52,950.00
  • 8 Berth

Black Woodpecker is a 60ft cruiser stern narrowboat and a former hire boat, offering spacious, flexible accommodation that's perfectly suited to families or those wishing to cruise with friends and guests. Its versatile layout provides a variety of sleeping arrangements, making it ideal for extended cruising or holiday use.

Accessed via the generous cruiser stern, steps lead down into the aft bedroom. This cabin can be configured as either a comfortable double berth or two single berths, while a high-level fold-down bunk provides an additional sleeping space when needed. A wardrobe offers practical storage for clothing and personal belongings.

Forward of the bedroom is the first bathroom, fitted with a shower, washbasin and toilet, providing convenient facilities for those using the aft accommodation.

The well-appointed central galley offers ample worktop space and plenty of cupboard storage, making meal preparation straightforward whether you're on a weekend break or a longer cruise. Opposite the galley is a versatile dinette area, which can be converted to provide either a double berth, two single berths, or a single berth using the fold-out bed, offering additional sleeping flexibility.

Continuing through the boat is a second bathroom, also equipped with a shower, washbasin and toilet. Having two bathrooms is a valuable feature, providing added convenience and privacy for larger crews and families.

The forward bedroom mirrors the aft cabin, offering equally adaptable accommodation. It can be arranged as either a double berth or two single berths and also features a high-level fold-down bunk, along with wardrobe storage, making it ideal for children, guests or additional family members.

Steps lead up through the glazed bow doors onto the foredeck, where bench seating on either side creates a pleasant spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the surroundings while moored.

With its practical and proven ex-hire layout, Black Woodpecker offers comfortable accommodation for a larger crew, making it an excellent choice for family cruising, holiday adventures or extended time on the waterways.

Black Woodpecker has a valid Boat Safety Certificate valid until March 2029.

Viewings will be arranged around hire periods and turnaround times. To arrange a viewing or make an enquiry, please contact Wrenbury Mill Marina on 01270 780544.
