Additional Information:

MFV Radiant Queen was built in 1947 and has variously served as a herring ring netter, a Scapa Flow dive boat (compressor still onboard), a wildlife tour boat in Skye and a much loved family recreational boat. The engine is bullet-proof but she is showing signs of her age and needs a loving hand to get her through the next 75 years. A cosy cabin and wheelhouse on the top deck are in good condition, below decks have been stripped back ready for refit. Covid and a lack of time means she needs some TLC. With the right owner who has the time and vision, the RQ could make an outstanding live aboard. There are not many of these beauties still around! She is afloat in Swansea marina and cruises well. We'd be happy to crew her to anywhere in the UK. Call for details.
