Brokers Comments
This Storebro Royal Cruiser 31 Biscay is a very special boat that offers so much accommodation and space for its size and is presented in great condition for her year. It is a joy to drive with good visibility from the helm and offers a very solid & stable ride whether in the open seas or trawling down a quiet River. Having been built in Sweden, it is very solidly constructed and ouzes character and traditional styling. She benefits from a number of upgrades over recent years that will enhance the Ownership experience. These include new bi-fold doors, new fitted window blinds throughout, new led cabin lighting, new inverter, new drawer fridge and more. Her twin Volvo AD41 B Diesel engines provide 200 HP each, which, combined with her semi displacement hull give a smooth yet powerful experience when needed. Down below, in her forward cabin, she has a comfortable V berth, a separate large dining area opposite a spacious Galley with hob, oven and fridge, as well as access to the full height heads with shower and electric toilet. Then into her enclosed wheelhouse, she again has a masses of space and features Helm & Navigator seats that can be tucked away as well as a linear sofa, so plenty of room for all the crew. Then, through very stylish twin Bi-Fold Patio Doors is another great space, the cockpit. Either open to the sunshine or enclosed by the canvass cover, this features a rear bench seat and folding table that is perfect for al-fresco dining.
This 31 Biscay has so much space and so many features and is presented in really great condition that it is an absolute must to come and see. It lends itself ideally to socialising & entertaining with friends, or as a safe and comfortable family cruiser that would also be great as a live aboard.. She has the space usually afforded to boats much larger than her size with the feel of build quality that Scandinavian Boat Builders are renown for. She is currently lying in Southampton.
