This is a lovely example of the well known and popular Aquafibre 38 Lowliner. It is presented in excellent condition and in particular has benefited from a comprehensive interior refurbishment program in 2021/22. Quintessence is priced to sell and is incredible value compared to anything remotely similar on the market.
The refurbishment program has transformed the interior space from the standard configuration commonly found on these boats into an immaculate, lovely bright, modern interior with all mod cons. Perfect for comfortable cruising on the Broads. There are spacious double cabins, fore and aft with a further single fixed berth off the saloon. There is plenty of space for further berths in the very spacious saloon using a fold out futon or similar if needed. The owners cabin is particularly inviting with a custom made King sized bed rather than the usual cramped beds often found on Broads cruisers.
Full details of the improvement program are listed below.
The Dual Helms on board allow for a wonderful view over the Norfolk Broads from the elevated cockpit when underway as well as providing a warm alternative when using the interior helm station in bad weather. The cockpit also benefits from a custom made fully enclosed canvas enclosure that provides excellent protection in all weathers and a very nice shady spot for those hot summer days.
The Saloon is particularly bright and spacious with a Custom made recliner seat incorporated into the bench seat and allowing great flexibility with ample room for further comfortable seating as needed.
In addition, “Quintessence” benefits from the addition of a stainless steel Pulpit and Pushpit as well as full length handrails, allowing for safe movement on boarding, anchoring and when moving along the side decks.
