    Inside her perfectly maintained exterior, you have everything you need for a week on the water – convertible double bed and a small single, toilet with over toilet shower, fridge, cooker and 2-ring hob. Kettle, coffee pots, saucepans and vintage crockery can be found in the fully stocked kitchen.
