Broker's Comments

Boatshed Essex are pleased to be presenting this Prout Quest 33. A rare opportunity to purchase a popular multihull.

Prout multihulls are renowned the world over for their pioneering design and production of fast, seaworthy and comfortable catamarans. Research and development sat at the heart of the Prout approach.

The large cockpit features the wheeled helm position and easy access to the single engine, mounted amidships and transmitting power to both a steerable and lifting sterndrive. The hydraulic sterndrive has the benefit of dramatically improving close quarter manoeuvring and can be lifted from the water whilst under sail, thereby reducing drag.

Side decks are wide and comfortable to use and like the cockpit, the foredeck is expansive, including stowage and anchor lockers, two windlass's and incredibly safe feeling platform when working up-front. The cutter rig sail plan is suited to single handed use, featuring an aft stepped main and furling genoa and staysail, enhancing performance.

Down below the accommodation is spacious and comfortable, complete with a tidy finish and recent upgrades, as detailed. The saloon is spacious and comfortable and each hull provides plenty of standing headroom and cupboard space. To starboard, there is an aft double cabin, galley amidships and forward cabin. The galley is uniquely fitted so the hob is set facing outwards, which works very well and makes the galley a lot more sociable as you are facing the people you are cooking for!

To port there is a second, double aft berth, large navigation station and shelving amidships and a separate large heads in the forward cabin, with newly fitted and unused sea toilet and a shower.

This Prout Quest 33 has been upgraded by the current and last owner and has sailed to Europe and also the Mediterranean.

This boat is an attractive option for a range of sailing purposes, with spacious accommodation, shallow draft hulls and therefore the ability to be used for extended cruising, comfortable coastal and inland trips, including the European canal system and living aboard more permanently.

If this attractive boat interests you, please do contact for us further information and we would be pleased to organise a viewing for you.
