Broker's Comments

These Sealine Ambassador 285s are popular for a reason - they still retain great looks!

Also, they come with a large cockpit - great for entertaining and lounging - this one has a really lovely and recent cockpit tent, so you can use the space in all weathers.

Her helm area is equipped with an array of equipment that we feel is suitable for coastal use, though some may opt to modernise.

Down below is a lovely family space - a good sized galley to port, with plenty of prep room and work surface and a really lovely, sociable dining area with tonnes of room for everyone and it also turns into a huge berth!

A good sized heads compartment and twin aft cabin complete this package - she seems good value for the money, a few jobs to do here and there, but a loverly boat, nonetheless.
