All Traditional Narrow Boats for sale
Rowan is a much-loved 58’ traditional mid-engine narrowboat with a unique life story. Originally built as a replica coal boat, she was later transformed into a characterful live-aboard coffee boat, travelling the waterways and serving customers from the towpath and water. Refitted for cruising and trading, she quickly built a loyal following on the Lee and Stort, supported by an active online presence at Coffeeboat.co.uk. Now offered as a boat-only sale with the business included free of charge, Rowan is ready for her next chapter — whether that’s cruising, trading, or both.
