Step aboard Ace, a breathtaking 60ft Traditional Northwich Trader Class narrowboat designed and built by the esteemed R.W. Davis. This exceptional vessel combines timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful design, offering an unparalleled experience for those seeking comfort on the water.
Powered by a Gardener 2LW engine housed in its own dedicated engine room, Ace is built for reliable and efficient cruising. The onboard heating and hot water systems are seamlessly integrated, with a Heritage diesel fired range cooker with double burner. One for heating and hot water with room thermostat and one for cooking, ensuring a cozy and inviting atmosphere year-round. The electrical system is equally impressive, featuring 12v and 240v compatibility, a Victron Multiplus Combi 1200w inverter/charger, a Yamaha suitcase generator, 1 Starter, 3 x AGM batteries & 4 x lithium batteries for leisure and solar power capabilities via a 300W of panels paired with a Victron MPPT controller.
The interior of Ace is as functional as it is charming. The galley boasts a heritage range cooker and an Inventum fridge which runs on a 220v using half the power consumption compared to a 12v, perfectly blending practicality with traditional aesthetics. Sleeping arrangements accommodate up to four people, with a fixed double bed under the tug deck and a convertible double bed in the boatman’s cabin, ensuring a restful retreat after a day of cruising. The bathroom adds a touch of modern luxury, featuring a Vacuflush toilet with a cassette under the floor within the engine room, a shower over a bathtub, a vanity basin, and even a heated towel rail.
Meticulously maintained, Ace is ready for its next adventure. The hull was shot blasted and treated with durable 2-pack epoxy blacking in 2023, ensuring long-lasting protection. A valid Boat Safety Certificate (BSC) is in place through 2025, and having had the engine serviced in 2024, providing peace of mind for any prospective owner.
Whether you’re planning weekend getaways or extended canal journeys, Ace is the perfect blend of traditional beauty and modern convenience. This remarkable vessel is more than a boat—it’s a lifestyle.

A boat is not valued on its age. The age of a boat is irrelevant. A boat is valued based on who built the hull? Who fitted the boat out and what type of materials were used (Hard wood or MDF etc) What equipment does the boat have (Bow thruster, generator, inverters etc) These are just a few of the many factors that equate to the correct value of a boat.

BUYERS & SELLERS
When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.
This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.
We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
