Successfully selling boats since 1995, ABNB's constant aim is to provide the standard of service of yesteryear which is so often missing in today's self-centered hectic lifestyle and our commitment to providing a friendly, professional service is second to none.

Our collective boating experience encompasses all aspects of the cut and it is difficult to envisage an area of the canal world in which we wouldn't be able to offer you constructive advice and support, be it realising your dream or hanging up your windlasses.

ABNB started life as the brainchild of Andy Burnett whilst he was the Technical Editor of Waterways World, the popular magazine still at the forefront today. In the early 90's brokers would only sell boats that were taken to their sales base but many vendors were reluctant to abandon their pride and joy, even though they were selling. ABNB pioneered and perfected selling boats from their home moorings which enabled the vendors to participate in the sales process, an opportunity welcomed by many. As the business grew, Crick Wharf became the home of ABNB, enabling boats to also be sold from Crick.

ABNB moved to purpose built offices within North Kilworth Marina in 2021 providing a one-stop shop for buyers and sellers.

SOMETIME • 60ft 0in, Traditional, 0 + 2 Berth
The well proportioned shell was provided in 1995 by Gary Gorton, renowned for his quality of steelwork and high standard of finish. She was later registered in 1997 and fitted out by the 2nd owner, Dave Stack. Propulsion is by a fabulous sounding Kelvin J3 vintage diesel engine, originally fitted in a Scottish salmon tug and rebuilt 10yrs ago. Heating is currently by solid fuel stove (to be repaired prior to sale), although radiators and plumbing is in place for a boiler to be installed.
