Platypus is a narrowboat project offering an excellent opportunity for someone looking to complete and personalise a vessel to their own taste. A great deal of preparation work has already been carried out, making this an ideal boat for an enthusiast or first-time owner seeking a rewarding project.

Entering from the stern, you step into the saloon which features a comfortable U-shaped seating area. This space has been enhanced with newly fitted wooden flooring, creating a warm and inviting living area with plenty of potential for further development.

Moving forward through the boat, the bathroom benefits from a newly installed shower tray and a practical tiled floor. The space is ready for finishing touches to create a functional and attractive washroom.

The forward cabin houses the galley, which has been fitted with new units and matching new wooden flooring. This area provides a solid foundation for completing a modern and practical kitchen space to suit your requirements.

Throughout the interior, all steelwork has been freshly painted, giving the boat a clean and well-maintained appearance. The vessel is fitted with seven windows in total, allowing plenty of natural light to flow through the cabin. A solar panel is also installed, providing an additional source of onboard power.

Platypus presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a narrowboat with many key improvements already completed. With the major groundwork underway, the new owner can enjoy adding the final details and creating a comfortable and unique floating home or leisure cruiser.

There is a valid Boat safety certificate valid until August 2026.
