Meet Loki, a delightful 50ft Cruiser Stern narrowboat, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern comfort. Built in 1993 with a renowned Reeves hull, she offers the strength, reliability, and quality that seasoned boaters appreciate. Loki is powered by a robust Barras Shire 45hp engine, fully serviced in 2024, and carries a Boat Safety Certificate valid until 2029. Designed for both long-term cruising and peaceful liveaboard life, she is ready to set sail on new adventures.
Above deck, Loki is equipped with pram and cratch covers, providing versatile protection from the elements in all seasons. Life onboard is made even more enjoyable with Webasto central heating and an immersion hot water tank, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Energy independence is thoughtfully catered for, with four flexible solar panels, a 3000W inverter, shoreline hook-up, and a 30amp mains battery charger. Four leisure batteries and one starter battery support a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle, while two 13kg gas bottles further add to the boat’s practical design.
Stepping inside, Loki’s interior offers a clever, well-planned layout that combines functionality with cosy charm. At the stern, the master bedroom features a fixed double bed with six storage drawers beneath, a 42" flat-screen TV, a 12V control panel with battery voltage meters, a 12V reading light, and the inverter control panel – all neatly positioned for easy access and comfort. Moving forward, the bathroom provides a compact but well-equipped space, with a shower, sink set into a vanity unit, a Porta Potti Excellence toilet, a built-in 12V extractor fan, and a radiator to keep things warm.
The corridor leading forward offers excellent storage solutions, with a full-height cupboard and a half-height cupboard housing the 30A mains battery charger. One of Loki’s standout features is her separate, thoughtfully designed workspace – ideal for remote working, studying, or creative pursuits, and a rare find on a boat of this size.
The galley is fully equipped for life afloat, featuring under-counter cupboards, a stainless steel sink and drainer, a four-ring hob, an under-counter Thetford oven and grill, a 12V fridge with freezer compartment, and an in-line drinking water filter for added convenience. A charming swan hatch not only floods the space with light but also includes shelving and steps below for additional storage and practicality.
Moving into the lounge, fitted bench seating cleverly conceals lined storage beneath, with a six-seater removable dinette table offering a social space for dining or entertaining. (The dinette could be converted to create an additional double bed – please speak to us if this is of interest.) A Boatman multi-fuel stove and a Webasto-driven foot warmer create a cosy atmosphere during cooler evenings, while double doors open out to the bow, offering fresh air and a lovely connection to the surrounding waterway.
Externally, Loki remains in excellent condition. Her last blacking was completed around 2021, and a hull inspection carried out two years ago confirmed that no further blacking was required, reflecting the quality and care she has received over the years.
With her robust build, practical layout, modern upgrades, and welcoming atmosphere, Loki is the perfect choice for those dreaming of a life afloat – combining comfort, efficiency, and freedom on the water.
