Description
Introducing Snotter, a well-built 41ft cruiser stern narrowboat constructed in 2006 by Sea Otter – a name widely respected for producing vessels of solid quality and thoughtful design. One of its most appealing features is the maintenance-free aluminium hull, which means you can enjoy the boating lifestyle without the regular expense and downtime associated with traditional steel hull blacking. Measuring 41ft in length with a beam of 6ft 10in, it offers a comfortable and manageable size suitable for both cruising the inland waterways and longer stays aboard.
Powering the boat is a reliable Nanni 3100 three-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a Technodrive TMC 40M gearbox and cooled by keel cooling for efficient performance. With a fuel tank holding approximately 30 gallons and a bow thruster fitted. Onboard systems are well considered too: hot water is supplied via a combination calorifier, immersion heater and Webasto unit, while a 5kW Webasto central heating system ensures warmth and comfort whatever the weather. Water storage is generous at around 80 gallons, allowing for extended trips away from mooring points.
Electrical provision covers both 12v and 240v supplies, supported by one starter battery and three leisure batteries, plus a Sterling power battery charger and galvanic isolator for safe and reliable operation. The setup provides a solid foundation for all your onboard power needs. The interior features double-glazed windows to help retain heat and reduce condensation, ash ply cabin sides and hard-wearing vinyl flooring, with insulation in place to further improve comfort throughout the seasons.
The galley is fully equipped for everyday living, featuring a Spinflo cooker and a Shoreline fridge/freezer, plus a microwave for convenient meal preparation. Accommodation is designed to sleep up to four people comfortably, with a fixed double berth and a dinette area that converts easily into two additional berths – perfect for couples, small families or guests. The bathroom includes a pump-out toilet, vanity basin and a shower, providing all the facilities you would expect for life afloat.
Snotter comes complete with a cratch cover for added protection and comfort at the bow, and holds a valid Boat Safety Certificate until September 2026. Whether you are looking for a leisure craft for weekend breaks, a permanent home or a cruising boat to explore the UK’s canal system, this Sea Otter narrowboat represents a fantastic opportunity to own a low-maintenance, well-appointed vessel.
