30TBP Tug For Sale

Wright International Ltd sometimes gets owners selling vessels that are different from the average vessel found on the market around the world. This vessel is one of them. She has all the makings of an ideal houseboat as she has space, attractive lines and is priced where she becomes a viable alternative to the excessive amount of money now being asked for the housing market. With accommodation for six persons and a galley, mess room and bridge this would be ideal for the retired sailor to live on. She was once in class to full Lloyd’s specification and if some money was put in could possibly be brought back up to class. Although with classification being more onerous than when this vessel was originally built, no guarantee can be given to this. If you are looking for something that little bit different then simply contact either Greig or Robert and we will arrange a viewing for you with the owner.

Construction

This tug was built of solid steel and has been in full Lloyds class although that has now elapsed due to the owner not requiring the vessel as she became surplus to his demands. Fully fitted out with accommodation for 6 this vessel would make an ideal liveaboard for the retired sea Captains or for any other family looking for something different. She is in need of a some remedial work, but with a new coat of paint this vessel would be a very practical solution to todays nightmare of very high cost of housing.
