Broker's Comments
Boatshed Norfolk is pleased to be able to offer, for sale, this large ex-hire Ideal 45 river cruiser. Sold last year to the current owner when just off hire a sad and sudden bereavement means it is now back on the market at a heavily reduced price for quick sale.
Freshly off hire last year and fully serviced for the current owner. This is one of the larger Broads cruisers offering 6 separate cabins and comfortable accommodation for 10-12 people.
There are 3 toilets, all electric flush, 3 showers, a very large sociable saloon and a smaller aft dinette.
She boasts a modern Nanni diesel engine with shaft drive.
The boat appears to be in a well presented condition and offers huge external space on the aft deck and additional forward deck.
These are the last Ideal 45 boats that are now leaving the hire fleet so when these are gone there will be no more. They do not come up for sale very often and are rare on the private market. This will make great large family river cruiser or an amazing live-aboard home.
See Boatshed Norfolk for full details pictures and video tour.
Please note the pictures here are from when the current owner bought her last year as she currently has a lot of the owners items aboard that are yet to be cleared off by the family. I am advised that other than adding shore power, a new cooker, and main window covers no changes have been made to the boat since purchase and I will obtain fresh pictures and videos once she has been cleared of belongings.
Her BSC runs to Jan 2026 and she had a full out of water survey in December 2024. Her Broads toll is paid and a mooring may be available by separate discussion with the marina.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
