About this Boat: Welcome to Water Emerald a highly desirable 65’ Semi-Cruiser, complete with re-fit inside (old photos to show) to modernise and make use of the wonderful space inside. She was originally built for the manager of British Waterways and was used to ferry dignitaries up and down the river Thames in her first 10 years of service. Water Emerald also has a unique bow as she was built with the intention of being an ‘Eco Friendly’ boat to glide through the water more efficiently and therefore use less diesel.

Water Emerald was then bought privately and has had two owners since. She is spacious and has the potential to be a great liveaboard or would be equally well suited for days out and holidays. With two thirds of the boat open plan and spacious it makes for a relaxing environment. She has been painted internally with non-toxic paint and has wooden floors throughout.
