We are sadly having to sell Bon Garcon due to owner’s illness. Bon Garcon is a lovely 1950’s heritage steel Dutch Tjalk with splendid lines and lots of bright space. With its spacious living room wheelhouse, with 360 degree aluminium windows providing excellent visibility, and king-sized sleeping quarters, it would suit a liveaboard or, with another three berths in the stern, would be ideal for family cruising. She has had a fantastic exterior paint job done in July 2024 and looks like new. A Victron solar unit has been added to ensure battery life and a new depth sounder was recently added. Powerful new 95kgp bow thrusters have also been installed and the hull has been checked and is fully sound. The Garcon has a fine flybridge for plein air cruising, with lots of deck space for relaxing and enjoying our lakes and rivers. An airflow heater ensures cosy cruising and hot water is provided by a modern gas heater. The toilet has been very recently entirely refitted and repanelled, and the shower is in a separate space. Overall, the Garcon is ready to give its new owner years of happy cruising.
