1992 Jonathan Wilson 60ft Narrowboat

The Dove – 60ft Jonathan Wilson Traditional Narrowboat

Distinctive. Modernised. Beautifully Loved.

‘The Dove’ – A Unique Blend of Character and Modernisation

This 60ft x 6’10” Jonathan Wilson narrowboat is a rare gem. Built in 1992, but don’t be fooled by her age – she’s been thoughtfully modernised throughout while still retaining some charming original features. Lovingly cared for by her current owners, she comes with a file full of documentation and receipts to match.

With 4 berths, The Dove is a fantastic liveaboard or luxury leisure cruiser.
