Western Grebe is a well-maintained ex-fleet narrowboat with a sought-after reverse layout and double dinette, making it ideal for various occasions. Whether you're looking for a cozy retreat for two or a functional space for small families, this boat offers flexible sleeping arrangements to suit your needs.

Entering through the stern, you’ll find the open-plan galley and saloon, designed for both practicality and comfort. The galley is fully equipped with a gas cooker, sink and drainer, microwave, and 12V fridge, ensuring you have everything needed to prepare meals while cruising. Beneath the worktops, there is ample storage space in the form of cupboards and drawers.

The dinette area provides a welcoming space for dining, comfortably seating four around the table, with an additional fold-down seat for extra flexibility. This space can also be converted into a temporary double bed, offering additional sleeping arrangements when needed.

A corridor leads through to the bathroom, which is thoughtfully designed with a hand basin and vanity unit, hip bath with shower, and an electric macerator toilet. This setup ensures convenience and comfort while onboard.

At the forward end of the boat, the main sleeping cabin can be configured as either a double berth or two singles, allowing you to tailor the space to your preference. A door from this cabin leads directly onto the fore deck, providing easy access to outdoor relaxation and enjoyment.

Western Grebe is currently located at Wrenbury Mill Marina, and viewings will be arranged around hire periods and turnarounds, with availability starting mid-October 2025. The boat also holds a valid Boat Safety Certificate until March 2027, ensuring peace of mind for its next owner.
