Comment - originally launched in Southend in 1921 and sailed extensively on the Thames in London as The Thames Britannia, this beautiful, traditional sight seeing vessel was completely rebuilt from the keel upwards and re-launched locally in Plymouth in 1985.
Perfect for river cruises, parties and other family celebrations, she has a great all round view with space for passengers on the bow, stern, inside and outside on the spacious upper deck. She comes with her own well stocked licensed bar and has a great sound system. Often seen full to the gunwales on regular sight seeing trips around the local Plymouth area, its due to this high demand that the owner is reluctantly selling at the end of the season in order to acquire a larger vessel.
All offers will be considered.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO SELLERS YOU CANNOT VERIFY AS GENUINE.

If possible, travel to view the boat or equipment yourself and only buy once you are happy with it.
