OFIRA


Overview

Ofira is a 55ft cruiser stern narrowboat built in 1992 by French and Peel.

The craft's layout comprises of: 

A covered well deck at the bow with seating.

Forward open plan saloon with solid fuel stove leading into a large roomy kitchen which includes a breakfast bar and plenty of worktop space. Next is the wet room/shower room followed by the double berth located at the stern. A useful utility area is located all the way to stern that you would normally find in traditional styled craft. 

There is a Survey from March 2023 available to read, items required for immediate attention have all been attended to since. In addition it has been out of the water in May 2025 for hull blacking and base plate blacking.
