This beautiful, well fitted out and superbly maintained boat has sleeping accommodation for 6 in 3 cabins. The separate owner's cabin to the aft of the wheelhouse sports a king-size double bed with en-suite facilities and plenty of drawers, shelves and lockers to store your clothes and personal effects.
The forecabin contains another double berth with dressing table and plenty of locker space.
The 3rd double is in the main saloon where the L shaped dinette converts easily into a double.

The L shaped seating in the saloon is augmented by two wicker chairs and a multi-fuel stove provides extra heat to supplement the radiators.

The galley consists of built-in 4 burner gas hob, oven, grill, 900 w microwave, stainless steel sink and drainer and a fridge with ice box. All units are built from solid hardwood with light coloured work surface.
Opposite the galley are more cupboards and shelving with full size washing machine and dryer below.

The modern 'heads' comprises electric flush toilet to holding tank, wash hand basin, shower, airing cupboard with calorifier and extractor fan.

Elsie Violet's folding wheel house is constructed mainly in solid iroko timber and can be lowered to allow travel under low bridges or just for al-fresco cruising. The impressive mahogany helm is complemented by a comprehensively equipped console, which has all the controls you would need for coastal passage. To that end, since her launch in 2008, she has cruised the inland waterways and coasts of England, Holland, Belgium and France, but has been based on the Thames since 2022.

Elsie Violet had a comprehensive out out water survey last year and will be sold with a brand new Boat Safety Scheme certificate. Her present BSSC is valid until July.
