Step aboard the Red Billed Finch, a beautifully appointed 49ft narrowboat designed for comfort, convenience, and memorable getaways on the water. With its cruiser-style stern, entry is easy and inviting—ideal for both seasoned boaters and newcomers alike.

As you descend into the boat, you’re welcomed by a well-equipped galley featuring a 4-burner gas cooker with grill and oven, a fridge, and ample storage for all your culinary essentials. Whether you're cooking up a hearty breakfast or a sunset supper, this kitchen has everything you need.

The boat comfortably sleeps up to 5 people. The forward cabin can be arranged as either a generous double bed or two singles, with the option of a high-level berth for extra sleeping space. In the saloon, the seating area effortlessly converts into a double bed—perfect for guests or flexible family use.

The 2kW inverter provides 240V electricity to selected appliances and sockets, keeping you powered up wherever your journey takes you. Plush carpeting in the saloon and bedroom adds a touch of warmth and home-like coziness, while the onboard security box/safe ensures peace of mind for your valuables.

This boat comes with a valid boat safety certificate until mid January 2027.

Whether you're planning a weekend escape or an extended cruise, the Red Tailed Finch combines practicality with comfort, making it a superb choice for relaxed, versatile canal living.
