Description
Built by Collingwood, Paloma is a stunning 60ft x 12ft 6in widebeam cruiser with a high-quality professional fit-out, designed as a stylish, comfortable home on the water. Currently moored in Hackney, London, this vessel combines robust build quality, modern engineering, and thoughtful living spaces, perfect for cruising or permanent residential use. A major advantage is the possibility of securing a Hackney mooring at Matchmakers Wharf, London — subject to arrangements with the Canal & River Trust — offering a rare opportunity for a London floating home.
Constructed with a steel hull (10/6/5/4 plating) and flat-bottom design, it features durable vinyl flooring, oak ply cabin sides, full sprayfoam insulation, and double-glazed windows for warmth and efficiency. Power comes from a reliable Canaline 70hp four-cylinder diesel engine with keel cooling, 355-litre fuel capacity, Newage gearbox, and Vetus 95KGF bow thruster for easy manoeuvring.
Heating and hot water are covered via calorifier, immersion, and Webasto 5kw central heating unit and solid fuel stove (wood or smokeless). Water storage is 569 litres. The electrical system includes 12V & 240V supplies, a Victron 3kw inverter, starter and lithium leisure batteries, and six solar panels (395w) with smart controller — ideal for off-grid living.
The galley is fully equipped with Montpellier oven & 5-burner hob, Swan fridge + separate freezer, solid wood worktops, and a pure water filter. Accommodation offers a fixed double bedroom, with space for extra berths in the saloon. The bathroom includes shower, vanity basin, and two toilets (composting/pump-out). Side hatches and skylights fill the living space with natural light.
