Step aboard Derry Dasher, a truly impressive 60ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Collingwood Boat Builders. Presented in “nearly new” condition, this reverse layout vessel combines luxury, practicality, and contemporary styling. With less than 50 hours on her powerful 42hp engine, complete with bow thrusters for easy manoeuvring, she offers both reliability and effortless cruising. A full pram cover with upholstered stern seating creates the perfect space for outdoor socialising, while onboard Wi-Fi and mood lighting ensure modern comfort wherever your journey takes you. Buyers will also enjoy a significant saving compared to a brand-new model, with no VAT payable.
Inside, the galley has been carefully designed for both functionality and style. Featuring striking white quartz worktops with a matching drainer and stainless-steel sink, it is complemented by a full range of integrated appliances, including an eye-level oven and grill, four-burner gas hob, fridge with freezer compartment, stainless-steel microwave, and a full-size washer/dryer. With ample cupboards and drawers providing generous storage, this space is perfectly equipped for extended living or entertaining aboard.
Moving forward, the upholstered L-shaped dinette provides a welcoming dining area with additional storage beneath the seating. This area also converts seamlessly into a full-size double bed, ideal for accommodating guests. Beyond the dinette lies the lounge, offering two leather-style captain’s chairs, a smart TV within a custom media unit, and the warmth of a Morso Squirrel solid fuel stove. A thoughtful arrangement of shelving and cupboards ensures that style and practicality go hand in hand.
The walk-through bathroom continues the sense of quality with a large quadrant shower enclosed by twin sliding glass doors. A wash basin mounted on quartz countertops is complemented by generous storage cupboards below, a ceramic bowl cassette toilet, and a large wall mirror. The result is a bright, modern, and functional space with everything you need for life afloat.
At the bow, the bedroom provides a calm and inviting retreat. A full-size double bed offers generous under-bed drawers and cupboards, while overhead cupboards and a double mirrored wardrobe ensure abundant storage. Additional touches, such as a corner display cupboard and shelving, add both style and practicality. From here, glazed double doors open onto a spacious well deck, the perfect spot for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the waterside views.
With its thoughtful reverse layout – galley, dinette, lounge, bathroom, and bedroom – Derry Dasher is a narrowboat designed for both comfort and convenience. From her high-specification fit-out to her “ready to cruise” condition, she represents an exceptional opportunity for anyone seeking a beautifully presented home on the water.
