Description

Ripples on the Thames is a beautifully presented 41ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Sea Otter, offering a modern, light-filled interior and the reassurance of an aluminium hull. Designed for comfortable cruising and easy ownership, she combines practical specification with a welcoming onboard atmosphere, making her an excellent choice for leisure cruising, weekends away, or extended time afloat.

One of the standout features of Ripples on the Thames is her large cruiser stern, providing generous outdoor space that’s ideal for socialising, relaxed cruising, or simply enjoying life on the water. The open-plan interior enhances the sense of space throughout, while the use of American White Ash cabin sides and large sliding and porthole windows creates a bright, airy feel inside.

Powered by a Nanni 29hp three-cylinder diesel engine, she offers dependable performance and smooth handling, supported by a Max Power bow thruster for added confidence when manoeuvring. Heating and hot water are provided via a Webasto system, calorifier, and immersion, ensuring comfort across the seasons.

The galley is well equipped for everyday living, featuring a Spinflo cooker, 12v Shoreline fridge, and attractive granite-effect worktops, offering both functionality and style. The accommodation layout provides four berths, with a combination of a sofa bed and dinette conversion, making good use of the available space.

The bathroom is fitted with a Thetford cassette toilet, shower, and vanity basin, delivering all the essentials for comfortable onboard living. Practical touches throughout the boat reflect thoughtful design and usability.

Constructed from marine-grade aluminium alloy, Ripples on the Thames benefits from a hull that is largely maintenance-free when compared to traditional steel boats — a key advantage of Sea Otter construction. She also holds a Boat Safety Certificate valid until May 2027, adding further peace of mind for prospective owners.
