Description

Introducing Captain G, a practical and spacious 56ft narrowboat constructed by Colecraft, with a professional fit-out carried out by Warwickshire Narrowboats. Featuring a popular reverse layout design, this cruiser stern model offers generous living space and plenty of storage, making it ideal for both leisure cruising and comfortable long-term living.

Built for reliability, the hull features an 8/6/4 steel specification and flat-bottomed design, providing stability and strength for navigating canals and rivers alike. Power comes from a four-cylinder Isuzu 35hp diesel engine, professionally fitted in 2008 and paired with a PRM gearbox and keel cooling system for efficient performance. Fuel capacity stands at approximately 40 gallons, while the large 200-gallon water tank ensures extended cruising range between refills and resupplies.

Onboard comfort is well catered for with a comprehensive heating and hot water setup. An Alde central heating and hot water system keeps the interior warm and dry, complemented by a stainless steel Puffin multifuel stove that adds both a cosy focal point and additional heat. The electrical system offers flexibility, combining 12v and 240v power supported by an X-Cell 150w inverter and a Redi-line 1600w generator, along with one starter and four leisure batteries to keep everything running smoothly.

The accommodation is laid out for practicality and ease of use. The galley features laminate worktops, a New World cooker, and a Shoreline 12v fridge-freezer, providing all the facilities needed for self-sufficient living. There is sleeping space for up to four, with a fixed double bed and a sofa bed in the saloon. The walkthrough bathroom is particularly well-appointed, fitted with both pump-out toilet options, plus a corner hip bath with a shower over and vanity basin. Theres even an addition of a cassette toilet located near the stern.

Captain G comes with excellent recent maintenance and documentation, giving you peace of mind from day one. It was blacked and coated with 2pac epoxy in April 2026, and a full survey was completed the same month. The Boat Safety Certificate remains valid until July 2030, and practical extras include a cratch cover and rear cover for weather protection. This is a great opportunity to own a solid, functional narrowboat ready to take you wherever the waterways lead.

BUYERS & SELLERS

When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.

This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.

We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel.
