Broker's Comments

This is a very tidy Sovereign 17 day launch from 1991. She is very well presented and equipped.

She has an 18hp 3 cylinder Perkins perama diesel motor which is bigger than the average day launch motor giving her a good turn of speed and also great economy. There is also an engine driven blown air heater system fitted that will keep the boat nice and warm on chilly days.

The boat is very well presented in gelcoat with a deep blue hull and white topsides. Even the internal GRP is white flow coat finished so feels a very high quality build and finish.

She has a Jeckells full navy canopy cover to allow any weather cruising. Navigation lights and all the usual safety equipment are present and correct and she offers a stylish and pretty river launch experience that can see 8 people seated in comfort.

She has access entry steps and guide rails to both sides and the engine moulding has a substantial wooden table built in to the top making the space practical and convivial. She has a current Boat Safety Certificate to November 2026, and will be a great addition to any riverside home or rental property.

These boat details are subject to contract.
