Description

Our beautiful 2009 Colecraft 57' narrow boat 'The Entertainer' by Russ Hubble Boats is for sale. We originally bought this boat in Surrey and sailed it to its current home in Willow Tree Marina in West London for use as a temporary residence in London. This boat would make an excellent liveaboard for a single person or couple, or as a leisure craft for cruising the canal network.

'The Entertainer' is in fantastic condition inside and out. The interior in particular has seen only very light use. We bought it off the original owner in late 2022, who had used it on a leisure basis only to entertain guests. The boat has not been heavily cruised and have never been chartered.

The boat has a very sweet extremely low hour Barrus engine with only 681 hours over it's 16 year life. This starts perfectly and has been reliable throughout with clear exhaust.

Excellent electrical system, with a 12V bank for cruising and standard mains via hook up while alongside. We have had a Blue Smart IP22 charger to keep the leisure battery bank charged while on the hook up.

Central bathroom and powerful shower with a large calorifier. A separated toilet compartment is also located in this midships area of the boat and a large 140L holding tank is present.

Large kitchen area with gas oven and hob, fridge, sink and large work top areas and ample storage.

Two bed bedroom at the aft end of the boat (this could easily be converted into a double) and two armchairs with footstools that fold into beds in the living area at the bow.

Small log burner at the bow which we have used a lot. This is a fantastic feature and keeps the whole forward area of the boat warm in the middle of winter. We use this along with a small 220V ceramic heater in the bedroom area. It has been comfortable throughout the winter.

The exterior of the boat is excellent, with only some small chips that require attention. A large open area is present at the bow. We also have a large folding table for this area.

The boat is currently moored in a fantastic marina 'Willow Tree' in Hayes which includes all the amenities that you expect of a high end marina, including parking. If the buyer would like to remain in this marina, this possibility needs to be discussed at purchase.

Boat safety certificate valid until 05.2026. We have our new buyers survey which was completed in December 2022.

We are currently inviting viewings.
