With its versatile size, this boat can navigate nearly all of the UK’s canals and rivers, making it an ideal choice for long-term cruising or weekend escapes. Recently blacked in 2023 and with a BSS certificate valid until February 2027, the Dog & Duck has been expertly maintained to ensure she’s ready for many more years of reliable service. With the engine freshly serviced in April 2024 and full RCD compliance, this boat is not just a pleasure to own but also meets all modern safety and construction standards, providing ultimate peace of mind.

It features a gas cooker with a four-burner hob, a separate oven, and a grill, perfect for cooking hearty meals while on the move. Beneath the sleek under-counter fridge, you’ll find ample storage space for all your provisions. The luxurious worktops, crafted from stone, granite, or quartz, provide not only an expansive area for food prep but also an elegant finish that adds a touch of sophistication. Every inch of space is efficiently utilised with cupboards, drawers, and shelves offering plenty of storage for kitchen essentials. To complete the package, the galley comes fully equipped with a complete inventory, including a kettle, pots, pans, crockery, and cutlery, ensuring you’re ready to start cooking from day one.
The saloon is a warm and inviting space, ideal for relaxing after a day’s cruise. The L-shaped dinette is not only comfortable but also multifunctional, easily transforming into a spacious double bed when needed.
