Jade Otter - £35,000

Jade Otter is a charming 30ft Sea Otter cruiser stern narrowboat that offers an excellent opportunity to own one of the highly sought-after aluminium-hulled boats for which Sea Otter are renowned. Built in 2001, this well-maintained vessel combines practicality, low maintenance ownership and comfortable onboard living, making her ideal for weekend getaways, extended cruising adventures, or those seeking a simple and enjoyable introduction to life on the waterways.

The aluminium construction provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, while the compact yet cleverly designed interior makes excellent use of the available space. With accommodation for two people, a reliable Kubota engine, solar power, and a Boat Safety Certificate valid until January 2030, Jade Otter is ready to cruise and enjoy immediately.

The cruiser stern provides a practical and sociable outdoor space from which to steer the boat and enjoy the surrounding waterways. The generous stern deck allows room for comfortable cruising and easy access on and off the vessel, making it particularly appealing for couples and leisure boaters.

Located immediately forward of the stern deck, the bathroom is thoughtfully equipped with a cassette toilet, wash basin with useful storage beneath, a wall-mounted mirror and a heated towel rail for added comfort. The separate shower room provides privacy and convenience, ensuring all the essential facilities are available for extended stays aboard.

The galley is well equipped for preparing meals whilst cruising and offers everything needed for comfortable onboard living. A Caprice oven, grill and four-burner gas hob provide versatile cooking options, while the Shoreline fridge offers ample chilled storage. The stainless steel sink is fitted with mixer taps as well as a dedicated filtered drinking water tap. Storage cupboards and a small dresser unit provide practical space for kitchen essentials, helping to keep the galley organised and functional.

The bright and welcoming saloon serves as both a comfortable living area and sleeping accommodation. An L-shaped seating arrangement creates a cosy space to relax during the day and easily converts into a small double bed when required. Storage cupboards and shelving are incorporated throughout the cabin, offering useful space for personal belongings whilst maintaining a clean and uncluttered interior.

At the forward end of the boat, the bow deck provides a pleasant outdoor seating area from which to enjoy moorings, canal-side scenery and peaceful evenings afloat. The fitted bow and cratch covers offer additional weather protection and help maximise the usability of this space throughout the year.

Jade Otter presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a compact, easy-to-handle and highly desirable Sea Otter narrowboat. Offering low-maintenance ownership, practical onboard facilities and the renowned benefits of aluminium construction, she is perfectly suited to couples looking to explore the waterways in comfort.
