Southwest Durham Steel Sawley Queen

A great opportunity to purchase a recently decommissioned hire boat from the CLC World fleet. We are pleased to present Lady of Trent, a charming narrowboat that is soon to be retired from the CLC World hire fleet. This presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to own a characterful vessel, ideal for leisure cruising or potential liveaboard use.

The boat features a reverse layout, with steps from the stern leading directly into a spacious saloon area. This comfortable space is designed for both relaxation and functionality, offering a seating and dining area that can be easily converted into a double bed when needed. It’s a versatile setup that makes excellent use of the available space.

Moving forward, the galley is well-equipped with everything you need for onboard cooking and meal preparation. It includes an oven and hob, a sink with drainer, an under-counter fridge, a microwave, and ample cupboard storage. Whether you're preparing a quick snack or a full meal, the galley is designed to meet your needs.

The bathroom is thoughtfully fitted with a good-sized hip bath, complete with an overhead shower and curtain for convenience. There is also a vanity unit with a wash basin and a pump-out toilet, providing all the essential amenities in a compact and practical layout.

At the bow end of the boat, you’ll find a fixed double berth, offering a cozy and private sleeping area. Steps lead up to a side hatch, allowing for easy access and ventilation. Additional features in this area include a full-height wardrobe and a storage drawer beneath the bed, making it a well-appointed space for rest and storage.

The hull was blacked in February 2025 and the engine most recently serviced on 26 April 2025. Minor repairs required to the following areas: - Bow and stern chines require additional sacrificial plates for wear protection. - Addition of shoe plate to wear on the stern base plate under the swim. The price has been reduced to reflect this work that will need to be undertaken following the purchase of this vessel.
