A 30ft 2015 Dave Bridgeman 3 berth cruiser stern narrowboat.

  • £29,995.00
  • 3 Berth

R and C's Nest is a well presented 30ft narrowboat, built in 2015 by Dave Bridgeman. Compact yet cleverly designed, this boat is ideal for weekend escapes, extended cruising, or even as a full-time home for a solo boater or couple. With a warm and homely interior, it offers both comfort and practicality in a manageable size.

Entering from the stern, which is sheltered by a practical pram hood, you step straight into the galley and dinette area. The dinette features two comfortable seats with storage underneath and can be converted into a single berth when needed. Opposite, the galley is equipped with a hob and sink set beneath a glass cover, an undercounter fridge and oven, and a couple of useful storage cupboards, making it a functional space for on-board cooking.

Moving into the middle of the boat, a multi-fuel stove creates a cosy atmosphere and serves as the heart of the living space. Adjacent is a fully enclosed wet room, complete with a cassette toilet, foldaway sink, and shower, providing all the essential facilities in a compact layout.

At the bow, the cabin opens up into a relaxing living area with a sofa and a fixed large double bed, offering a peaceful space to unwind and sleep. The boat’s layout has been thoughtfully arranged to make full use of its 30ft length, balancing open living space with clever storage and practical features.

R and C's Nest is a wonderful example of how smaller narrowboats can offer all the essentials for comfortable life afloat. Whether you’re looking for a floating retreat or an affordable route into the boating lifestyle, this charming vessel is ready for new adventures.
