Grey Goose - £44,950

Grey Goose is a beautifully presented 42ft cruiser stern narrowboat, built in 2001 with a shell by Andicraft and powered by a reliable Beta BV1305 engine. Currently moored at the stunning Shakespeare Marina, this charming two-berth vessel is ready for immediate occupation. Whether you're seeking a tranquil weekend escape or a compact, comfortable home on the water, Grey Goose offers the ideal setting for life afloat.

Inside, the boat features a stylish and contemporary interior, finished in soft greys with subtle pink accents. The layout has been cleverly designed to maximise space and functionality, beginning at the stern with a compact yet fully equipped galley. The kitchen is fitted with a brand new gas hob, grill and oven, a 240v fridge freezer, and ample storage – making it perfectly suited for onboard cooking.

Mid-boat, the bathroom provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. It includes a full shower cubicle, sink with integrated vanity unit, and a brand new Porta Potti toilet, which also comes with a spare cassette for added convenience. The clean, modern design ensures that this space is both practical and easy to maintain.

Moving forward, the dinette area creates a warm and inviting social space, complete with a moveable table, bench seating, and a wood-burning stove. This area is ideal for mealtimes, working remotely, or simply curling up with a book on cooler evenings. The stove adds both character and essential warmth, enhancing the boat’s cosy feel throughout the year.

At the front of the boat, the open-plan saloon offers a light and airy living space. The standout feature here is the new Click Clack sofa bed, which converts quickly and easily into a comfortable double bed with a thick mattress – perfect for overnight stays. The saloon also includes a TV and DVD player for entertainment, as well as built-in storage to help keep the space organised.

The cruiser stern offers a spacious outdoor area that’s ideal for enjoying your surroundings or simply relaxing with a cup of tea. Whether you're new to boating or a seasoned canal enthusiast, Grey Goose makes an ideal introduction to life on the water.

It should be noted that, due to recent changes in regulation, this vessel should have been correctly CE marked in accordance with the Recreational Craft Regulations. However, the current owners do not hold this paperwork, and any potential purchaser is advised to make their own enquiries and seek professional advice regarding the implications of this.

Overall, Grey Goose is a modern, well-maintained narrowboat that blends functionality with charm. With her current mooring at the beautiful Shakespeare Marina, she’s ready to offer new adventures to her next owner – whether that’s weekends away or a full-time lifestyle afloat.
