Overview
About this vessel
August 2026 update — relaunched after new antifouling, propspeed and hull polish.
This 1989 Vindex 470 was built by Nobel Craft and presents very well thanks to the quality of her build and how well she has been maintained. The woodwork throughout still looks excellent.
The walkthrough transom leads to a large teak cockpit which includes three large hatches to under-deck storage. A sliding door gives easy access into the open saloon with couch seating down both sides, dining table forward and a bar/entertainment cabinet in the starboard aft area. The galley is forward down two steps and includes plenty of bench space, oven, fridges and lots of storage.
The three cabins in the bow are well laid out, and all cabins have a good amount of cupboards for storage of clothes and personal items. The forward master cabin has private access to the large starboard-side head with separate shower. A double cabin is also on the starboard side, while a third cabin with two bunks is on the port side, with the second head situated aft of this cabin. Dedicated sleeping for six people (not counting the saloon and flybridge couches).
The flybridge has a good amount of room with seating all around. The helm provides great visibility and has a large 18-inch Garmin touch screen plus the usual controls like trim tabs and VHF radio.
The boat is powered by twin 306hp Volvo Penta TAMD 61A's running through shaft drives. The engine room provides plenty of space for servicing the engines as well as the Onan generator and other systems. There is even a crane on the foredeck which makes launching and storing the RIB tender a breeze.
A condition survey from September 2023 is also available to read during boat viewings.
The owner would also consider shared ownership options for the boat and marina berth.
We have reconditioned the following on both engines in the last 12 months: heat exchangers, after coolers, gearbox oil coolers, fuel pumps, injectors and turbos. All receipts are available, so the engines are running very sweet.
The Electrasan toilets were replaced a couple of years ago with new toilets (2) and a 120L holding tank. They work well.
New trim tabs were also fitted two years ago.
