‘Moby Duck’ – Colecraft 26’ Cruiser Stern Narrowboat. ‘Moby Duck’ is a charming 26-foot Cruiser Stern Narrowboat, built by Colecraft and commissioned in 1983. Thoughtfully designed to maximise comfort and space, she offers versatile accommodation for up to three people, including a convertible double berth and a single berth. The interior layout features a well-equipped galley, a wet room style bathroom with a shower and Porta Potti toilet, and a cosy saloon warmed by a multi-fuel stove, making the boat ideal for relaxing weekend getaways and day trips along the inland waterways. Powered by a Lister SR2 diesel engine, with hot water provided via a Morco instant gas water heater. The boat is fitted with both 12V and 240V electrical systems, offering modern convenience in a compact, characterful package. Recent maintenance includes a hull blacking in March 2024.

The interior of Moby Duck offers a light, bright, and thoughtfully laid-out cabin space, designed to maximise comfort within a compact footprint. The modern galley features a stylish solid walnut worktop, complemented by a surface-mounted stainless steel three-burner gas hob and a matching kitchen sink unit—both fitted with individual glass lids to extend available workspace when not in use. Additional amenities include a 12V fridge and a gas oven with grill, making onboard meal preparation easy and convenient.

Opposite the galley is a comfortable seating area that can double as a single berth when needed. The bathroom is configured in a practical wet room style and includes a shower and Thetford Porta Potti toilet.

At the forward end of the cabin, a versatile seating area serves as the master berth. This space converts easily into an across-width double bed with the use of an infill board and cushion, creating a spacious and relaxing sleeping area.
