Design : May offers a high level of comfort and is a 4 star 60 foot long 8 berth Cruiser stern narrowboat, with a versatile layout, so it can be 3 doubles including the sofa bed in the saloon, or 8 singles, so suitable for 2 or 3 couples or family or larger group. It has a quiet water-cooled diesel engine with simple to use controls.

Features : There is full radiator central heating on the boat. A 200 gallon water tank supplies the hot and cold running water. There is carpeting on the cabins and saloon. The stern is a cruiser stern, which gives a reasonably large area for the rear deck, allowing for some of the crew to stand next to the skipper whilst cruising.

Saloon : Saloon located in the middle of the boat, the seating area can be converted into a double or two single beds using the fold-down single in the evening, if required.
Radio/CD player; colour TV/DVD player.
