Broker's Comments
Dutch steel cruiser for sale in France. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this De Groot motor cruiser for sale presently located in the Canal Lateral à la Garonne but able to navigate all French waterways and the Med. coast and beyond. I was very pleasantly surprised at the feeling of space and the stability of the boat as I entered the wheelhouse. Regardless of the 3m beam this is a comfortable cruiser for economically eating up the miles whether on salt or fresh water.
