Delusions

A 23ft 1980 Norman 2 berth GRP motor cruiser

  • £2,500.00
  • 2 Berth

Delusions is a charming 23-foot motor cruiser based at Nantwich Marina on the picturesque Shropshire Union Canal. Compact yet thoughtfully designed, the boat offers both comfort and practicality for day trips or short cruising holidays along the canal.

At the stern of the boat, the cabin deck features a comfortable L-shaped seating area—perfect for relaxing with friends and family while enjoying the views. A cratch cover also provides shelter for any change in weather.

Upon stepping aboard and entering the cabin, you'll find a cassette toilet and a fold-down basin conveniently located to your left. This compact washroom setup is ideal for quick, practical use without taking up too much interior space.

To the right of the main cabin is the galley area, which is well-equipped with a generously sized sink, a work surface for meal preparation, cupboards for storing essentials, and a 2 burner hob and grill.

The main living space serves a lounge during the day, with seating that converts into a double bed at night—making the boat suitable for overnight stays. There's also a small two-seater table, ideal for those self catering meals.

A Boat Safety Certificate is valid until July 2027.

If you would like to arrange a viewing please contact Nantwich Marina on 01270 625122 and they will be happy to assist.
