General Comments About the Boat


The rear deck has two lockers to the port side with storage for gas bottles and mooring equipment. The lockers have removable soft cushions and double-up as seats. 

Below the rear deck is a regularly serviced 4 cylinder Nanni Diesel engine coupled to a Peachment hydraulic drive unit. Also in the engine compartment is the diesel-fired central heating boiler, calorifier and 12v battery bank. 

Entering through the rear door and down the steps we enter the main bedroom. The en-suite pump-out toilet with wash basin is to the left followed by a wardrobe cupboard with hanging space. The bed is a double which extends to king-size and has drawer storage underneath and cupboard and shelf space above. There is a central heating radiator on the right. 

Beneath the rear steps is a Victron inverter/charger (new in 2023) which provides 240v power. 

Moving forward from the bedroom, the main toilet/bathroom is on the left. This is fitted with a pump-out toilet, wash basin, full height shower, and a heated towel rail. 

Beyond the bathroom is a second wardrobe, then we enter the kitchen. 

On the left is the gas oven and grill mounted within a kitchen cupboard unit topped with a granite work surface and stainless steel sink unit. There is a wall mounted cupboard above the oven. Next to the sink is the 4 burner gas hob surrounded by further work surfaces, underneath which is a 12v fridge (new in 2024). On the right is a wall unit providing further storage and work surface, with a microwave oven below. The kitchen is well equipped with a full range of saucepans, utensils, cutlery, crockery and basic cleaning materials. The water supply is via a filtration unit. 

On the right is a side-hatch which has a removable glazing panel. 

Forward from the kitchen is an L-shaped dinette area which converts to a second double bed. The table is removable and there is storage space under the seating. 

There is a radiator on the right hand wall. The front saloon area has a Villager "Puffin" solid fuel stove, two leather swivel chairs and a flat-screen TV. 

There is an on-board WiFi system and a ROKU streaming system (note the satellite dish shown in the photos has been removed (correct 2025). 

It is possible to fit two further camp style beds in the forward saloon, but these are not provided on the boat. 

The front of the saloon has glazed folding doors which open on to the bow seating area, with storage lockers under.

General comments by vendor


After many years of hiring, we joined the Shelton syndicate in 2015 following retirement from work. 

After 10 happy years in the syndicate I am now suffering the effects of osteoarthritis and reduced mobility. We will be sorry to leave..... 

Shelton is a fully managed boat with a group of friendly and enthusiastic owners with a dedicated WhatsApp group for communication. 

Each year there is an AGM (usually in October) when matters are discussed in more detail and decisions made for the next year. The syndicate is very well organised and forward thinking with preventive maintenance taking place during the winter. 

In the last two years the central heating system has been updated with a new diesel-fired boiler, the aging satellite TV system has been removed and replaced by on-board WiFi and the 2024-25 winter maintenance program has seen an overhaul of the hydraulic drive, a new fridge and the complete replacement of the main toilet tank and the toilet unit itself. Prior to undertaking this work a hull condition survey was commissioned, which shows the hull to be sound.  The report can be made available to prospective purchasers if required.

At the end of each "voyage", owners are responsible for ensuring toilets are pumped out and that fuel, water and gas are replenished ready for the next owners. 

The cost of fuel and pumpouts are NOT included in the monthly running costs charge. However, an internal valet at the end of each holiday is included in the monthly fee, as is gas and “blue” for the toilet.
