Description

We are pleased to offer for sale this Seaward 23. These boats make great day boats and good overnighters as well as being perfectly suited for longer holidays in marinas whilst you do a spot of coastal hopping. This size of Seaward is popular with young families and couples alike and this actual boat is a unique, single engine, stern drive version of this remarkable craft – it was first owned by a Seaward employee, and it was finished to his specification – so there will not be another quite the same. Her size belies her amazing sea-keeping qualities - these Seaward 23’s are well-known for being capable coastal cruisers with Channel crossing potential.

The owners of ‘Lady Jane’ have thoroughly enjoyed owning and using her - with many trips out with family and grandchildren and the diesel heating means they have been able to use her all year round in comfort. The boat has been everything they wanted and expected so they will be very sad to see her go, but their future travel plans mean they now want to sell her.
