"Clean but a little date."
"Clean and tidy only a small bowl for washing in the sink as its a big sink and takes up all the water."
"A slightly dated model, but enjoyable to handle and comfortable to live aboard. The battery issue was quickly fixed by Babou Marine. Thanks to the team for their responsiveness!"
"Ideal."
"A charming traditional riverboat design (more attractive than the newer models), but the interior fittings are visibly showing their age."
