Broker's Comments

Here we have a very special and rare example of the Elysian 27 aft cockpit cruiser from 1966. She started her life on the hire fleet it is believed, before being sold into private care in the 80's.

She is rare as she has been in the current owner's hands for some 40 years and she is unique in her layout and quality of interior fit and finish. The joinery has to be seen to be appreciated and this extends from the saloon draws and doors to the galley cupboard doors etc and even to the window surrounds!

The galley has all you need to spend several days afloat and she can sleep 4.

Just take a look at the hand made cabinetry, floors and woodwork inside this stunning time capsule of a vessel. She is very special indeed.

She has a separate shower and a separate heads compartment with electric Tecma toilet to holding tank.

She has engine driven warm air system to the saloon and cockpit areas. Her Leyland BMC diesel starts and runs nicely and is serviced regularly and she is kept in a boat shed. So as you can see from the exterior she is very very tidy indeed. She will pass under all broadland bridges (tide allowing).

She has been two-pack painted professionally and this boat just glows inside and out. You would be forgiven for even thinking she has been painted the finish is that good.

Her upholstery is all in good order with a couple of cushions showing some fading, and if I am to be critical one piece of headlining over the forward windows is wrinkled but other than that she is the most charming classic experience and is just delightful.

Her Boat Safety Certificate runs to March 2027 and she was last serviced and antifouled in July 2024.

If you are looking for a very, very good example of these wonderful river cruisers that has good facilities and a good quality and stand-out classic edge, then look no further.
