Musia is a charming example of this popular size and style of Dutch steel motor cruiser constructed to an excellent standard by a highly regarded yard. Although ideal for exploring rivers and waterways, she was also built with a more seagoing underwater profile than usual and internal helm position for her first owner to cruise long distances and explore the Mediterranean. Her layout has also been updated to offer more comfortable liveaboard accommodation for two, with a comfortable owners cabin aft, upgraded, deeper seating, large galley and utility area forward, and generous amounts of storage space. The current owner has spent a lot of time updating her systems including total electrical rewire, new warm air heating, autopilot to the upper and lower help, touch screen plotter and more. Well worth a look as a liveaboard or for extended cruising in comfort.
Please note images were taken in 2019 when the current owner purchased her.
Viewing by prior appointment only through our Essex office on.
