Tuckers Octopus

A 45ft 2002 Southwest Durham Steelcraft 4 berth cruiser stern narrowboat.

  • £45,000.00
  • 4 Berth

Originally part of the CLC World hire fleet, this boat has been in private ownership since 2021 and is now available to purchase with an updated Boat Safety Certificate, valid until 2027. She has also benefitted from the installation of solar panels and the addition of 4 new anodes in 2023.

A smart black full pram hood protects the spacious cruiser stern. Tuckers Octopus has a reverse layout, resulting in the stern steps leading down into the saloon area, which is designed as seating and dining space which can be converted into a double bed when needed.

The galley area is well equipped with oven and hob, sink/drainer, under counter fridge, microwave and cupboard space.

The bathroom is fitted with a good sized hip bath with shower overhead and shower curtain. There is also a vanity unit with washbasin, and a pump-out toilet.

At the bow end of the boat there is a generously-sized fixed double berth, with steps leading up to a side hatch at the side. There's also a full height wardrobe, table and storage drawer under the bed.

To view the boat or make an enquiry, please contact Gayton Marina on 01604 858685.
