This is an unusual boat in that Its build was started new in 1984 by Brian Chater and a steel and pipe company to be an offshore charter fishing vessel in north west England. Bruce Roberts steel boat designs are effectively steel kit self build vessels. Once complete the builder changed directions and the boat was sold new to the current owner who moved it to the broads by truck and placed it on his mooring. There it has stayed to this day and has been used as a liveaboard until his passing recently. The boat has not moved in that time but has been regularly run up and shows 1600 hours of engine time in that 40 years but actually never left the dock. When built the boat had a large generator also fitted that never had the electrical side connected up and that too has been run up from time to time but is effectively zero house use. In effect its an unused well built vessel that has engine time but never left the dock and was used as a home. The boat is vast and would make a great cruiser or even more impressive and roomy liveaboard home. She is impressively wide and this is evident from anywhere you are on or in the vessel. the space is just amazing and the layout is comfortable and flexible with a good size double in the bow with its own vanity and basin plus ample storage, large heads and shower compartment to port, single cabin to port and a large galley down arrangement with full size fridge freezer electric hob, oven grill and microwave and loads of storage. Stepping up to the enormous saloon with integrated lower helm station lots of storage cupboards and fantastic visibility from the large windows. Out aft is a huge aft cockpit that is all teak laid with both side and stern access, and access ladder the capacious flybridge. The boat has to be seen to be appreciated in its true scale . Under the floor are twin Iveco diesel engines rated at 180hp each and they appear to start and run effortlessly. The bilge is clean and dry. It is to be advised that as these engines have only been doc run they should be serviced and have the rubber hoses replaced before use as rubber does deteriorate over time. The boat should be checked and perhaps some minor recommissioning work completed such as the engine service and hoses and generator connected up to the vessel if required to be used on rivers or sea etc as she has just been a dwelling in her time from build. Given all that that she is realistically offered as a light recommissioning vessel that is exceptionally well built, very well equipped and appears to be in very good order. She has no gas system aboard and was bult as all electric thus the large 7.8kva fitted generator. The company that built her specialized in stainless steel fabrication and I can honestly say I have never seen such high quality tanks and calorifier ever fitted to a boat! the scale and workmanship appears to be first rate and of ultra heavy duty construction. The hot water tank is huge for a boat! She is also fitted with 2 reverse cycle Cruise air air conditioning / heating units that will also need to be recommissioned and put into service as it is likely to need to be re gassed as they have never been used since the boat was built. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well built and specified vessel and is effetely lightly used and fully equipped example of these respected steel vessels. Her asking price reflects the recommissioning work that may be required. I would estimate that it should cost no more that a couple of £K to recommission her to a fully serviceable condition, however a surveyor will be able to help quantify this more accurately. She would make a magnificent cruising boat or home at that point. She has no BSC as she has been a liveaboard houseboat. She was last out of the water and antifouled and new anodes fitted in 2022. She has a large bathing platform (currently not fitted) and stainless steel davits and a full Bimini canopy for up on the flybridge. Her teak work is substantial and her side decks are enormous with a solid and well built set of full side rails and bow rails. make no mistake this boat was built very solidly for the charter market and it shows everywhere you look. Diesel warm air heating completes the package of this fine vessel She would make a great charter fishing boat or dive boat as well as a cruiser or floating home and is a rare opportunity to find such a well specified example These boat details are subject to contract.

She is complete with all her seats and was a trip boat here on the norfolk broads. carrying about 90 passengers on sightseeing trips. She has a fully reconditioned Perkins 66hp diesel engine and gearbox, and a forward driving position. The engine resides in the forward hull with a prop shaft running the length of the boat, which leave her a huge long flat open space of around 15m with all windowed sides. Her bilges are spotless and she appears to be in very good order. If you are looking for a large houseboat , floating restaurant or coffee bar or similar or just have a use for her as a commercial trip boat as she was built, then this Brook marine steel vessel may well be for you. She has lots of potential for many repurposing uses and will be a rare bird whatever she ends up doing. She has large opening roof, rooftop storage platform frames, 600l fuel tank two companionways one midships and one aft. She will need batteries an engine wiring harness and a throttle control (morse control) fitting to run her but I am informed by the vendor that she runs fine. Currently afloat and viewable by appointment. These boat details are subject to contract.

Stepping aboard, you'll find a comfortable live-aboard set up or day cruiser. While the external decks are currently in need of a little love to bring them back to their best, the interior tells a very different story. Below decks, she is cosy, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels ready for immediate enjoyment. The saloon feels particularly spacious for a vessel of this size, benefitting from large windows that flood the space with light. The upholstery appears in good condition to me throughout, suggesting the interior has been well-cared for. This looks an ideal boat for a buyer looking for a comfortable live-aboard at the right location, or weekend cruiser who is willing to put some elbow grease into the exterior.

The vessel was originally built for the RMAS as a workboat and has been used as a dive vessel. The vessel is very well built and has been very nicely converted from a workboat to a vessel with comfortable living area and the added bonus of it still being motorised and keeping its historical naval heritage charm. But as with all vessels of this age maintenance and up keep is priority to having a happy ownership." Take a moment to pause and imagine life on board, surrounded by the countryside and river - it could be bliss! Especially as this boat could come with her own riverside berthing, complete with lawn and large flower bed, by separate negotiation. This Richard Dunston Work Boat is believed to have been built for the Ministry of Defence and based at Portsmouth naval dockyard and used to ferry Royal Navy staff around the harbour and bases located there until 2003, when she was apparently sold to a dive company and converted to a dive vessel until she fell into private hands in 2018. Now she has been converted to attractive and comfortable accommodation . Her forward accommodation consists of a large area, now used as a laundry, with its own en suite composting toilet - this was previously a kitchen, then a bedroom - the equipment has been removed, leaving behind the washing machine and lots of storage space. Her bridge is pretty much as it always has been, with lots of vintage touches and great views over the locale. In her after accommodation, you'll find a really well appointed and large saloon, kitchen, toilet and bedroom - the decor has been really thought about and it really feels like a nice and cosy place to be - of note is the feeling of sturdiness and strength throughout the whole boat. Her last survey, in 2020, attested to her hull thickness being not far off what it was designed to be at build. Down below, we have a large engine room, with a working V8 Dorman diesel and lots of other associated plant. Two other compartments also house her steering gear, plus more storage. Investment so far includes a central heating system, a refitted kitchen, a full 24V electric system with inverter and solar panels - her owners say that they live off grid during the summer, with generator use for an hour or two day over winter. All in all, she feels like a very good conversion from industrial to private use, whilst actually retaining her potential ability to either work, or continue as a moveable boat. Subject to agreement with the vendors, you may be able to buy and keep her where she is, subsequently renting her current berth privately for £600 pcm, or purchase the freehold mooring for £125,000. Please note that we are only brokering the sale of the vessel. These boat details are subject to contract.

I have found examples of converted Kramer & Booy builds and they have ended up as incredible modern cruisers. The current owner has been fixing her up slowly over time. The engine is now separated into its own engine room giving a small office/crew quarter and a large master suite with a ‘walk in wardrobe’, all on the bottom floor. The saloon area is huge with plenty of windows giving a great atmosphere as well as great views! The galley is also incredibly big with plenty of space for amenities and even a good-size dining table. The main heads has largely been tiled and could act as an en-suite to a decent sized cabin however, no plumbing is in place yet. This is a seriously special project that is perfect for someone with a keen eye to turn a once hard-working fishing boat into a modern, floating mansion - that can go anywhere!
