Broker's Comments
Boatshed Essex are pleased to present this lovely Snapdragon 890, which are well renowned and sought-after yachts and I can see why. With their deep spacious cockpit, easliy workable decks and bilge keels, it's ideal for cruising the rivers and estuaries and equally capable and proven, for longer off shore cruising.
I was struck by the large open saloon, with galley and separate heads, sleeping five/six comfortably and with nearly a three metre beam, the interior feels very spacious, also with plenty of storage. In the current ownership, there have been upgrades, including the addition of hot water and heating, with plenty of upgrades by the previous owner too. It appears to have been looked after and set up for holidays, cruising and enjoying comfortable weekend breaks onboard.
This is a lot of boat for the money and definetely worth considering.
If you would like any more details or to organise a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
