NEW LISTING - SALE AGREED

A tidy example of the popular Safari design built by Hampton Boats of Oulton Broad from 1969 to 1982 when over 250 were built for hire fleets and private customers.

The EA Anglian Region navigation licence is paid to 31/3/2022 and a mooring on the River Cam may be transferrable subject to the marina owner's consent. To view White Otter, please contact us during office hours 7 days a week.
