New listing - Hatteras 40 Double Cabin

Our latest listing on brokerage is a spacious Hatteras 40DC. This particular vessel is Part-1 registered and also coded for commercial use. She was purchased by her current owner in 2009 with the intention of running short day-trip charters from her marina berth at Poole Town Quay. Unfortunately, due to the owner's ill-health, she has had very limited use in this venture (just a handful of short trips) and is now for sale at a much reduced price.

She offers great comfort below decks with large, comfortable interior accommodation and plenty of on-deck space for family and friends. With 2 separate cabins she would also make an ideal live-aboard boat. She is very well-equipped throughout including large fridge, freezer and both heating and air-conditioning giving her the option of all-year round use.

Hardy Family Pilot for sale

This Hardy Family Pilot 20' cruiser has been lavished with love and attention by her owner who is very reluctantly having to sell due to ill health.

The boat is absolutely watertight and dry, and kept heated through the winter so she stays that way. She has everything you'd need for several days at anchor. Powered by a 45HP 4-stroke Honda outboard and complete with a 4-wheel Snipe road trailer. Everything in excellent condition, she certainly won't disappoint.

Full details are on the website now.

Roll on the Spring...

Well, there's a lot of doom and gloom about at the moment isn't there? The news is full of the tough economy, Moody's downgrade of the UK's credit rating, falls in Sterling, etc. Despite the bleak background, we've been fairly busy here at the brokerage and a few boats have sold or gone under offer this month, although it hasn't been as active as the same period last year. Last February was warm and dry by comparison with this year - hopefully March will bring some warmer and brighter days, which in turn will bring out the buyers.

During the long cold winter months, it's a good idea to make sure you start your boat's engines regularly. For all boats on our brokerage listing, we're very happy to start up the engines to warm through for you. Please let us know if can't get to the boat yourself and would like us to do this for you at no charge. (Your boat needs to either be in the water or on the dry stack for us to do this.)

We've negotiated arrangements with local marine valeting professionals which means we can arrange to have your boat cleaned at competitive rates. Just let me know if you would like to take advantage of this. Nothing betrays neglect like a dirty hull, deck or topsides! Finally, please don't hesitate to get in touch at any time - we're always pleased to get an email, text or phone call about your boat and and to discuss anything we can do to help her to sell.
