Aquaholix – 57ft Traditional Stern Narrowboat

Aquaholix is an appealing 57ft traditional narrowboat, expertly built by Pro Build with a thoughtful, high-quality interior fit-out by Headline – a combination that delivers solid construction and comfortable, practical living space from bow to stern. Built with robust steel plating specified at 10/6/5/4 and a reliable flat-bottomed hull, she features efficient sprayfoam insulation to maintain a pleasant temperature year-round, attractive oak cabin sides, and cosy fitted carpeting throughout living areas. Beautifully cared for and consistently maintained by her owners, she has recently undergone professional hull blacking in 2025 and a full independent survey in 2026 – so you can be confident she is in excellent order and ready to set off exploring the canals and rivers straight away.

Her dependable power and engineering make cruising relaxed and trouble-free. Aquaholix is fitted with a trusted Beta Marine 38hp four-cylinder diesel engine with keel cooling, paired with a durable PRM 120 gearbox for smooth, steady manoeuvring and travel. A generous 200-litre fuel tank supports longer trips between refuelling stops, while heating and hot water are well provided for via a versatile system using calorifier, immersion heater and backboiler, alongside a charming Morso Squirrel solid fuel stove that brings warmth and lovely character to the cabin on cooler evenings. The electrical setup covers both onboard and shore power needs with 12v and 240v circuits, a 2kw Ring Powering inverter, plus one starter battery and three leisure batteries; a large 500-litre stainless steel water tank supplies plenty of fresh water for extended stays away from moorings.

Inside, the galley is designed for everyday practicality and convenience, equipped with a Stoves 500 DIT cooker and a Shoreline fridge-freezer. Thoughtful preparation has been done too, with plumbing already in place ready for you to add a washing machine. Comfortable accommodation centres around a fixed double bed providing permanent, restful sleeping space for two, making her ideal for couples, weekend getaways or full-time liveaboard life. The bathroom is neatly finished with a cassette toilet, vanity basin, separate shower and heated towel radiator – adding that extra touch of comfort you appreciate while cruising. Completing the features is a useful side hatch for light, ventilation and easy access.

Aquaholix comes with important peace of mind included: her Boat Safety Certificate remains valid until 2029. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned, well-cared-for narrowboat from respected builders, ready for you to make your own memories and enjoy the freedom of life on the water.

BUYERS & SELLERS

When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.

This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.

We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
