Christina

A 55ft 2000 Southwest Durham Steelcraft 6 berth cruiser stern narrowboat. Available November 2025.

  • £43,950.00
  • 6 Berth

Previously part of the CLC hire fleet, Christina was designed with the highly sought-after reverse layout and offers a well-thought-out and spacious interior.

Entry is through the stern steps, leading directly into a comfortable dinette area that sets the tone for relaxed living aboard. The dinette can also be made up as a double berth, perfect for guests. The well appointed galley follows, equipped with a fridge, oven, and stove—ideal for preparing meals on the move.

Continuing forward, a handy toilet is followed by a twin single berth cabin, followed by the main bathroom, fitted with a second toilet, wash basin and a hip bath with a shower. At the bow lies the master bedroom, complete with cupboard storage and a cross boat large double bed. There is also a side hatch that allows for extra light and ventilation, as well as a pleasant view of the surroundings.

Christina blends practicality with comfort, making her a welcoming choice for both short breaks and longer stays on the water.

Viewings will be scheduled around bookings and turnaround time and will be available at the end of the season in November 2025. To arrange a viewing, or for any further information, please contact Blackwater Meadow marina on 01691 624391
