Subject: She’s waited 111 years to meet you ✨
Hello,
Some boats are just transport. And then there’s Elsie May.
Built in Holland in 1915 to carry potatoes down the Dutch waterways, she spent her working life on the water before being reborn as a beautiful floating home. In the hands of her current owner she underwent a near-total refit — £350,000 of careful work: closed-cell insulation throughout, a raised roof, an extended wheelhouse now used as an office, new Kabola hot water, a Victron inverter, and hand-crafted double-glazed windows.
Today she sits at Poplar Marina, Canary Wharf, with a fully transferable residential mooring. Think: your own front door on the water, 15 minutes on the Elizabeth Line to Bond Street.
Inside, she sleeps four in style — king-size bed, full-size bath, a kitchen with a quartz counter, and a roof terrace for summer dinners with the skyline behind you. Surveyed in 2022, hull re-epoxied, new anodes, BSC to May 2027. Insurance value £300,000.
£165,000 — substantially reduced, offers over £180,000 invited.
Ready to see her for yourself? Call Richard on 07778 108748 to book a private viewing. Serious enquiries only — she’s genuinely exceptional.
Warm regards,
Aquavista Boat Sales · London
