A spacious and immaculate launch with removable cuddy

PANDORA was built in 1999 to a very high specification by renowned boat builder Adrian Noyes. In the past two years the boat has been extensively renovated and is presented as new. I loved the amount of space on board, the high freeboard making her very safe for children and the removable cuddy. The boat is steered with a tiller and would suit someone looking to enjoy family outings on any waterway including estuarial and sea use. The size and trailer option would allow an owner to keep the boat at home and use at any number of different locations.
