Parker Adams is pleased to present to the market this excellent Birchwood TS37, named Calypso. This boat offers ample space onboard and has benefited from several impressive upgrades by its current owner. Calypso has a lot of character, and due to its superior build quality by Birchwood, it provides a warm, dry, and welcoming atmosphere, always making you feel well cared for. She would make the Perfect liveaboard and she is ready to go!
Calypso features a dual driving system, allowing you to operate the boat either from inside the saloon or from the flybridge. The fully equipped galley includes a large fridge and a great hot water system. Additionally, Calypso boasts a significant outdoor area, featuring both a flybridge and aft deck with a new canopy, providing ideal spaces for socializing, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the views.
Inside, Calypso offers a spacious aft cabin with an ensuite bathroom. The light and airy saloon includes a pull-out bed that accommodates two people. Opposite the galley, there is a cozy nook with a table that lowers, which can also serve as a sleeping area for two. Furthermore, there are two single berths located in the spacious forepeak.

Comments from the Owner:
What a boat!
She’s a classic – think Miami Vice – and is great fun to spend time on her as well as handling out and about. From her retro/original chart instruments display – original radar plotter, phone-radio – to her classic aesthetic lines, Calypso has great character and with her superior build quality by Birchwood, she always feels like she’s taking care of you.
She spent the first 30 years known as “La Principessa” and lived on the South Coast, near/around Port Solent. Her first owner was latterly rather ill and so the vessel was out of the water for a number years between 2010 and 2018.
She was sold in 2018 and renamed “Calypso”, staying on the South Coast at Hayling Island. Consequently, her engine hours are very low for her age. Since we bought her, she’s stayed at Southsea Marina. We had her out of the water for about four months in 2022, for serious structural upgrades.
Whether we’ve used her for weekend getaways, coastal adventures, or entertaining guests, Calypso has been our little slice of nautical excellence. We will miss her and hope to find great new owners.
Experience the boat through Stephen Payne's "Jaywalking the World" to giev you and example of what adventures this fantastic boat can bring you!
