Broker's Comments

Boatshed Midi Canals are pleased to offer for sale this Motor Cruiser Cytra 38 Ambassador in France. She has been and would continue to be a low cost yet, comfortable home on the Canal du Midi. Owned by the same owners for the last 20 years, she was used as a live aboard for a while.
The boat dates from 1977, built in a German yard.
She is a heavy construction, GRP hull with a GRP sheathed wooden superstructure. There are many way to improve this boat but in general terms she is solid, dry, comfortable and spacious. There is a great deal of storage lockers around the boat.
This boat is fairly autonomous as she benefits from a 2.8kw generator, solar power, and also has a built in canal water filtration system providing water to the onboard washing machine, shower, galley sink if needed.
There is a very nice and fairly recent canopy cover over the entire aft deck/cockpit.
This boat is sensibly price and the owner has realistic expectation.
For more information or organise a visit, please contact Graham, your local broker at Boatshed Midi Canals.
These boat details are subject to contract.
