Wide range of boats and berths from Tingdene at BoatLife Birmingham

Tingdene will debut at the brand new BoatLife Live boat show at the NEC Birmingham on 17-20 February. We’ll have a boat to suit every taste and purpose from Cranchi, Viking Cruisers, Viking Canal Boats, Banks Martin and Dolfor.

Cranchi E30 on show at Boatlife Live

Providing pedigree offshore performance but with copious and comfortable accommodation for river and inland cruising too, we’ll be showing the Endurance 30 as our representative from the Italian Cranchi range.

The bow area is easy accessible via well protected walkways. The steering position is amidships for easy visibility all around. She is perfect boat for four people to sleep. Plus you can entertain up to 10 with two large lounging areas. The cabin features full headroom and is fitted with a double berth and the dinette forward. A large wet room and an additional double berth aft complete the accommodation.

Best of all, our Endurance 30 is in stock and ready to go.

If your ambitions lie more towards a more traditional form of canal and river cruising or even living aboard, then we have the Viking Canal Boats 70 x 12 06 wide beam. Trust us, this will quite possibly be the largest vessel you’ll be able to view at BoatLife Live!

Canal Boats and Cruisers on show

Constructing in Poland, Viking Canal Boats specialise in the construction of steel narrowboats and widebeams boats to customers’ bespoke preferences, at very high quality.

The 70 x 12 06 canal boat we will be showing has a two-cabin layout, wet room, large saloon and spacious galley. It is specified with a full range of galley equipment; dishwasher, flat screen TV, double sofa bed and armchair in the lounge. Plus, bunk beds in the second cabin which are perfect for children of any generation.

Our show boat is ready either for your summer cruising adventures or exciting lifestyle change to living afloat. It’s powered by a 75hp diesel engine, with manoeuvrability assisted by a bow thruster and with electrical needs catered for by a high quality Victron system.

As a bonus, the boat’s dimensions allow for exemption from VAT, should it be purchased as a sole place of residence.

Similarly named from the company that is synonymous with building GRP motorboats for the inland waterways, Viking Cruisers have introduced thousands of families and their friends to boating. At Birmingham we’ll be showing the four berth Viking 24. As a Viking specialist, we offer these boats in the Highline specification as standard. This provides everything needed for the first time or experienced boat owner. Again the 24 is in stock for immediately delivery.

New to Tingdene Boat Sales, Banks Martin

If you prefer motoryacht-style finishes in a larger inland cruiser format then we will be pleased to show you around the Banks Martin Beaulieu 30. Banks Martin is one of the latest additions to the Tingdene Boat Sales family. Built just down the road from the NEC in Kidderminster, the 30 appears much bigger than its length suggests. Spacious, open plan accommodation will appeal to many, while the distinctive straight stem of the bow and clean lines will catch the attention of other waterways users. The Beaulieu has a low-wash semi-displacement hull, and a choice of inboard or outboard power.

Finally we’re pleased to be displaying an example of another Midlands-built creation. The Dolfor 500 is a practical pocket open deck boat equally capable of inland or coastal use. We’ve recently put one into service as a hire boat at Walton Marina and invite you to take a look at this flexible 16-footer.
