🏠 Space & Potential

  At 91ft in length and 17ft in beam, this impressive vessel offers generous proportions and exceptional potential.

  Bulkheads at each end could be opened to access the 20ft deck spaces fore and aft, ideal for creating additional accommodation or outdoor entertaining areas.

  With her solid steel hull and flat base, Lighter 2 offers a sturdy foundation for a spacious, comfortable home afloat.
