‘Va Piano’ is a rare and highly specified 68’ x 12’ Aqualine Canterbury Widebeam, built in 2021 and presented in exceptional style. Benefitting from hybrid propulsion, ‘Va Piano’ is believed to be the only Aqualine Widebeam of its kind to have been built with a hybrid system, making this a particularly unusual opportunity for those seeking something truly distinctive on the inland waterways. Designed to combine the comfort and sophistication of a luxury apartment with the freedom of life afloat, the Aqualine Canterbury offers an impressive amount of accommodation and living space. With two cabins, two bathrooms and a generous open-plan living area, ‘Va Piano’ is equally well suited to extended cruising, luxury weekend escapes, entertaining or use as a spacious alternative to a conventional home. The popular reverse layout places the well-appointed galley aft, featuring quartz worksurfaces, a central island and dedicated dining area. Moving forward, the open-plan saloon provides an excellent social space with ample room for freestanding furniture, complemented by a Morso Squirrel multi-fuel stove. The second cabin is located centrally and offers a 4’6” wide double berth, together with a useful desk area, making it ideal for guests or family. A guest bathroom is conveniently positioned nearby and is fitted with a shower and pump-out toilet. Further forward is the main bathroom, again benefiting from a separate shower and pump-out toilet, while the impressive master cabin is found forward and features a comfortable king-size bed. Propulsion is provided by an upgraded Fischer Panda electric propulsion system, forming part of the boat’s sophisticated hybrid setup. Cabin heating is provided by the Morso Squirrel multi-fuel stove in the saloon and a Kabola diesel-fired central heating system, while hot water is supplied via the central heating system and immersion heater. A comprehensive 240V, 12V and 48V electrical system provides the convenience and flexibility expected for modern life afloat. At 68’ long and 12’ wide, ‘Va Piano’ offers an exceptional amount of internal accommodation, with a sense of space rarely found even in many properties on land. Combining luxury, practicality and the freedom of the waterways, this impressive Aqualine Canterbury represents a superb opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive Widebeam.

Cockpit / Aft Deck

‘Va Piano’ boasts a spacious cockpit / aft deck, providing an excellent outdoor entertaining space and an ideal setting for al fresco dining. A full cockpit canopy provides shelter and protection from the elements, allowing this area to be enjoyed throughout the year.

The wraparound stern seating offers comfortable accommodation for guests, with useful storage lockers beneath. The seating is finished with comfortable upholstery and is complemented by a removable cockpit table, creating a versatile space for relaxing and entertaining.

Galley

The well-appointed galley is positioned aft and is finished to a high standard, featuring quartz work surfaces, a central island and a dedicated dining area.

Appliances include a surface-mounted five-burner gas hob, built-in Belling gas grill and oven, microwave, a large refrigerator, separate freezer and dishwasher. A stainless-steel kitchen sink with single-lever mixer tap, together with water filtration and water softening systems, completes the galley.

Excellent storage is provided throughout with numerous cupboards and drawers, together with a useful full-height larder, making this a highly practical kitchen for extended cruising and life aboard.

Saloon

The spacious, open-plan saloon provides an excellent central living and entertaining area, with ample space for freestanding furniture. Currently furnished with a double sofa bed.

A Morso Squirrel multi-fuel stove, set within a stone surround, provides a warm and inviting focal point during the cooler months. A wall-mounted television provides entertainment, while a port-side hatch and impressive Velux skylight allow plenty of natural light into the saloon while also providing additional ventilation.

The open-plan connection between the saloon and galley creates a particularly sociable environment, making this an ideal space for entertaining family and guests.

Guest / Second Cabin

A particularly desirable feature of this 68ft Widebeam is the provision of two separate cabins.

The guest cabin is fitted with a comfortable double berth, with generous overhead storage cupboards and integrated reading lights. A dedicated desk area with additional high-level storage cupboards provides a useful workspace.

Further storage is provided by a double wardrobe, making this cabin well suited to guests or family members for longer stays aboard.

Guest Bathroom

A short corridor from the guest cabin leads to the well-appointed guest bathroom.

The bathroom features a ceramic wash basin set into a quartz work surface, complemented by a stainless-steel mixer tap and vanity storage beneath. A large separate shower enclosure, heated towel rail, under floor heating and pump-out toilet complete the facilities.

Main Bathroom

Moving forward, the main bathroom is similarly finished to a high standard.

A ceramic wash basin is set into matching quartz work surfaces and is complemented by a stainless-steel mixer tap and vanity unit beneath. A large storage cupboard provides useful additional bathroom storage, while the separate shower enclosure, heated towel rail, under floor heating and pump-out toilet provide all the facilities required for comfortable life aboard.

Utility / Office Area

Opposite the second cabin and bathrooms, Aqualine’s quality carpentry is demonstrated with a cleverly designed built-in office and utility area.

A dedicated desk provides a practical workspace, with surrounding storage cabinets making excellent use of the available space. A 240V 8kg washer/dryer is incorporated into the cabinetry, with a laundry basket positioned alongside.

This well-planned area provides convenient laundry facilities without compromising the generous living accommodation, while the additional storage cupboards are particularly useful for extended stays aboard.

Master Cabin

The impressive master cabin is positioned forward and benefits from direct access to the bow well deck, which is fitted with a full cratch cover. This provides a wonderful additional outdoor space and a peaceful area in which to relax.

Inside, the master cabin features a comfortable fixed king-size bed, with four large drawers beneath providing excellent additional storage. Overhead cupboards with integrated reading lights sit above the bed, while four full-height hanging wardrobes provide generous clothing storage.

Further wardrobes with internal shelving, built-in bedside cabinets and a dedicated desk / dressing table complete this spacious and highly practical master cabin.
