Broker's Comments

Here is an ever popular Calypso 28 in a resplendent primrose and black colour scheme. These boats are always popular for their single level layout and small size yet deliver a wonderful feeling of space and comfort.

This example was fully repainted in 2021 and is well presented and upgraded for comfortable all year river cruising or liveaboard use.

Her upgrades include new bathroom fitout in 2021 (including new electric toilet), new gas cooker in 2022, a good sized and cleverly fitted wood burner, 6 batteries and additional warm air heating making this a true all-year vessel.

She has a current Boat Safety Certificate to 2026, 240v inverter, mains shore power and was antifouled and serviced in 2021 and 2022 respectively. She is clean and tidy and can accommodate 2 in comfort and up to 4 adults if required. She starts and runs very nicely and boasts a reversing camera. She will be sure to delight her new owner. Broads toll is paid to March 2023
