Galley

All equipment is of household size with built in gas cooker and hob with freestanding 12volt electric fridge. Kitchen cupboard doors being of good quality hardwood and laminate worktops with hardwood trim. All cupboards and cabinets are easily accessible.

Bathroom

As standard we fit the Midland Chandlers 4 foot by 2 foot shower bath with Mira shower tap. Vanity units being custom made to maximize the use of bathroom space. The toilet can be fresh water flushing into a holding tank, a remote tank, or a Cassette toilet.

Engine

As standard we fit the Beta Marine BV 1903 which is a 43hp Kabota diesel engine with a PRM 260 gear box. This unit is ‘top of the range’, very quiet and smooth running but above all is built to last and very reliable. Two alternators are fitted as standard to charge the two separate banks of domestic and inverter batteries. We use an ‘aqua drive’ between the engine and propeller shaft to minimize vibration. Engine rooms are fully sound proofed with good access for servicing the engine.

Electrics

All cabin lights and the fridge are 12 volts. For 240 volt we fit a 1,600watt charger/inverter to operate a hairdryer, television, microwave etc. Should you wish to have us install a washing machine/tumble drier we fit an additional 3.5 kva alternator to the engine.

Hot water and central heating.

Hot water is automatically provided by the engine (and to a lesser extent the central heating) when the engine is running. When the engine is not running a gas or diesel boiler is fitted. Modern radiators running up both sides of the boat provide the central heating.

Boat equipment

Boats are sold with a full cruising inventory which includes bow, stern and side fenders, mooring ropes and centre rope, shore plank, boat poles, fire extinguishers etc.

Viewing the boats.

To see the high standards of work and equipment that go into Wyvern built boats we have a full range of boats for you to view at our yard. Some of recent build and some of many years old so you will be able to see at first hand what your new boat will look like in 10 years time. We think you will be amazed at how little Wyvern boats deteriorate due to the high quality of craftsmanship and materials used.

Prices

Prices start from £1,200 per foot plus VAT. for a fully fitted ready to go narrow boat.
