Description
Delph is a 41ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Delph Marine in 1995 powered by Beta Marine 35.
Delph is a solidly built and well appointed boat that has been completely updated over the past few years. New electrics and batteries, windows have been removed and refitted when the cabin sides and roof were re-painted. She has everything you need to move on and live aboard straight away.
This craft has cruised the inland waterways full-time with the same owner for the last 10 years. With 4 berths, she offers good space for a couple or single person (and space for guests to stay). The fit-out has been professionally set up for residential purpose with solar, 12 & 240v electrics, Victron combi 1200 inverter, instant water heater, boatman stove and a wine cellar.

The door at the back of the bedroom opens to the cruiser stern with the engine bay below and space for alfresco dining. The engine bay was recently stripped and repainted, as was the water tank and gas tank. The boat has been repainted externally, leaving a blank canvas for you to add signwriting / designs as you see fit. We can send you photos of the previous design if you are interested.
At 41 ft long Delph can navigate the entire inland waterways system with ease, she has been a reliable boat for over 10 years and we endeavor to sell the boat ready to cruise with the ropes, pins, life-rings etc. so she can start her new adventure with someone else.
