Broker's Comments

Built and commissioned in the 1960's to serve as a foot passenger ferry from Tenby Town to Caldey Island. Two Brothers proved the perfect boat for the job, ferrying many hundreds of thousands of passengers safely back and forth, until retiring from the role in 2010.

Subsequently bought by Dale Sailing, she has continued to work as a commercially indorsed vessel, providing day trips to Skomer, Grassholm and Skolkhom islands. Previously coded to carry 42 passengers but comfortable with closer to 35.

Lifted out in 2022 to undergo an engine upgrade, the decision was made, instead to buy a newer vessel. However, prior to this decision, the engine was disconnected in preparation for removal. The engine is still in place but remains disconnected.

As the asking price suggests there is some work to do prior to recommissioning, although there is still plenty of life left in this characterful, hardworking boat.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Where the particulars herein give details of a boat, whether new or used, they are intended to give a fair description of the vessel but are not guaranteed as accurate or complete. They shall not form part of any offer or contract for the sale of the vessel. The prospective purchaser is recommended to independently check the particulars and the vessel. The vendor is not selling in the course of a business unless otherwise stated. Personal property is excluded from the sale of the vessel unless specifically included in the listing specification above or in a purchase contract. Personal property may be equipment or gear not permanently attached to the vessel including but not limited to: artwork, entertainment equipment, fishing equipment, TV receivers, recreational equipment, kayaks, tools, and personal appliances. Photos that may incidentally depict owners' personal property do not convey that such items are included in the sale of the vessel unless such items are specifically listed herein. At all times, where the particulars herein give details of a new boat and/or a new boat to be supplied/built by a builder/manufacturer, or a boat to be chartered, via our introduction, we do not guarantee or assume responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any information offered by third-party companies in respect thereof including without limitation new boat builders/manufacturers, charter companies and/or companies/businesses which are ‘Friends of Boatshed’.
