Little Rocket is a beautifully presented and versatile 28’ 7” cruiser stern narrowboat, built in 2011 by ABC Boats and Nottingham Narrowboat Company. Compact yet surprisingly spacious, her clever layout makes excellent use of every inch, making her an ideal choice for anyone looking for a smaller, easy-to-handle boat for exploring the inland waterways.
Little Rocket has recently benefited from a full external repaint and internal redecoration, giving her a fresh and inviting feel throughout. She has also had an engine service and two-pack epoxy hull coating, all completed in January 2026. Supplied with full RCD documentation and CE plate, she is ready and waiting for her new owner to start their next adventure.
The well-appointed galley combines practicality with quality finishes, featuring Quartz worktops and Oak flooring, a flush-fitting stainless-steel sink with mixer tap, Thetford Duplex grill and oven, Sia two-burner gas hob and Hisense 230V under-counter fridge. A generous range of cupboards provides plenty of storage for longer trips.
The versatile saloon is a real highlight, with two large, fully upholstered bench seats creating a comfortable space to relax and a 24” TV for entertainment. The removable Desmo table and fittings allow the area to be used as a dining space, while the seating can be easily converted into either a full-size 6’ 3” x 6’ double bed or two 6’ 3” x 2’ 4” single berths. This clever arrangement makes the boat equally suitable for relaxing, dining or overnight cruising.
The fully tiled, offset shower/wet room provides a practical and well-finished bathroom, complete with shower, ceramic pump-out toilet, feature wash basin and useful storage.
Powered by a Vetus M206K202A 16hp diesel engine, paired with a ZF 12M mechanical gearbox, Little Rocket offers reliable and straightforward cruising.
With her compact dimensions, flexible accommodation and recent programme of works, Little Rocket offers an excellent opportunity to own a well-presented and easy-to-manage narrowboat, ready to enjoy from day one.
