Kentish Star
Overview
Kentish Star was built in 2009 by Probuild and fitted out for Black Prince. She has previously been a multiuser boat and benefitted from a professional maintenance regime.
Ex-Black Prince boats are popular due to their robust build and the operators years of experience in maintaining and building this type of craft. They are easy to handle and designed to withstand the toughest use. They benefit from features such as:
Fixed Rubber bow fender
Easy access weed hatch
Easy access stern greaser
Gas struts to engine bay lid
Large Panoramic forward windows and glazed security door
Large pump out waste tanks
Easy access to engine for servicing requirements

Landlord gas safety certificate (required for commercial craft)
Versatile sleeping arrangements
These boats are ideal for a holiday or family boat with literally everything included in the inventory for you to turn the key and set off.
Kentish Star would be a comfortable 4 berth with 2 x double beds and the option to make room for another couple on the L shape. Alternatively when required the rear cabin can be made into 2 single berths or 4 bunk beds. Currently the boat is set up with the 4 bunk beds to demonstrate the potential.
Many ex BP craft have been sold for liveaboard use. Again popular for their easy handling characteristics, well insulated shells and hardy interiors. An Ideal Family boat benefitting from 2 fixed bedrooms and toilets.
