Broker's Comments

Originally part of the 126 metre USS Navy Torpedo Boat Cyrene launced in 1944, this was her lifeboat that has been converted in to a comfortable cruiser and has been in the same ownership for the last 12 years.
She has good, well equipped accommodation below and would ideally suit a couple looking for a livaboard with an interesting History and Character.
