Features

This custom-built Wooden Motor Yacht was finished in 2014 and was drawn along traditional Dutch double-ended designs. Built by Dartmouth boatbuilder Brian Pomeroy.

Wood Goose catches the eye with her classic lines turning heads wherever she goes. Presented in fantastic condition and very well maintained. The engine has approximately 170 hours and a modern chartplotter and electrical systems provide all the comforts you might require. A great choice if you are looking for a gentleman's motor cruiser that is comfortable on the sea but could just as easily be taken on inland waterways for further adventures.

Broker's view: "This is a lovely boat and a fine example of British craftmanship. She will make a perfect coastal or river cruiser and is sure to turn heads wherever she goes. Currently out of the water in Portland and we are able to offer a mooring with BOATFOLK until the end of March 2026 as part of the package."
