Wandering Star
Overview
Wandering Star was built in 2011 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
Wipe clean panels internally
The Engine has benefitted from regular professional servicing, weekly engine checks and instant replacement of any failed part. Although high engine hours they get better looked after than most private boats.
Landlord gas safety certificate (required for commercial craft)
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.
Wandering Star would be a comfortable 2 berth with the option to make room for another couple when required.
Alternatively, many ex BP craft have been sold for liveaboard use. Again popular for their easy handling characteristics, well insulated shells and hardy interiors.
