Description

Built by Collingwood, Paloma is a stunning 60ft x 12ft 6in widebeam cruiser with a high-quality professional fit-out, designed as a stylish, comfortable home on the water. Currently moored in Hackney, London, this vessel combines robust build quality, modern engineering, and thoughtful living spaces, perfect for cruising or permanent residential use. A major advantage is the possibility of securing a Hackney mooring at Matchmakers Wharf, London — subject to arrangements with the Canal & River Trust — offering a rare opportunity for a London floating home.

Constructed with a steel hull (10/6/5/4 plating) and flat-bottom design, it features durable vinyl flooring, oak ply cabin sides, full sprayfoam insulation, and double-glazed windows for warmth and efficiency. Power comes from a reliable Canaline 70hp four-cylinder diesel engine with keel cooling, 355-litre fuel capacity, Newage gearbox, and Vetus 95KGF bow thruster for easy manoeuvring.

Heating and hot water are covered via calorifier, immersion, and Webasto 5kw central heating unit and solid fuel stove (wood or smokeless). Water storage is 569 litres. The electrical system includes 12V & 240V supplies, a Victron 3kw inverter, starter and lithium leisure batteries, and six solar panels (395w) with smart controller — ideal for off-grid living.

The galley is fully equipped with Montpellier oven & 5-burner hob, Swan fridge + separate freezer, solid wood worktops, and a pure water filter. Accommodation offers a fixed double bedroom, with space for extra berths in the saloon. The bathroom includes shower, vanity basin, and two toilets (composting/pump-out). Side hatches and skylights fill the living space with natural light.

Safety and compliance are up to date: Boat Safety Certificate valid until July 2027, Post Construction Assessment in place. Engine serviced August 2025; hull blacked with 2-pack coating in 2021. Viewings by appointment only.

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. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
