Broker's Comments

This is a very very tidy example of the wonderful Fairline Holiday Sports Cruiser. These boats are so much fun and so versatile for their diminutive 23 foot size. They offer a lot of space in 23 foot with not an inch wasted, plus the solid Fairline build quality you would expect. These boats can sleep 4 people in comfort and have everything you would need to cruise the broads or further a field. She has a folding windscreen which means she can get under all the Broadland bridges giving you access to the entire Norfolk Broads network.
I have owned one of these for 5 years in my own boating past and I can tell you they are just really great boats! They make a fabulous starter boat that is very hard to beat for its capability, flexibility, space, looks and comfort. This particular boat is still in original gel and has a Boat safety certificate to 2024. She has been upgraded with full pressurised hot water system and a pump out toilet to holding-tank plus she boats full 240Volt shore power. Her upholstery inside and outside has also been professionally replaced and looks and feels very good indeed. The engine and out drive were serviced in 2020. She was antifouled this year. This amazing boat also has a large and sociable cockpit with large bench seating and two captains chairs and this all appears to be very good with no damage noticed. She benefits from a sold swim platform that affords easy access from the stern adding further mooring flexibility. Her canopy looks very good and offers full headroom throughout the cockpit.
These boats are referred to as the "Tardis" for very good reason as they offer incredible space and secure handling all in just a 23 foot package. This boat is a very tidy example and surely one of the cleanest, best loved and well equipped examples of her type currently available. If you are looking for an ideal starter cruiser that offer sports cruiser style and great accommodation for 4 then look no further.
