‘Leisurely Fox’ – 55ft Cruiser Stern Narrowboat by Fox’s of March
‘Leisurely Fox’ is a well-presented 55ft cruiser stern narrowboat, built by the highly regarded Fox’s Marina in March, Cambridgeshire. Originally part of their reputable hire fleet, the boat has since been privately owned and carefully maintained, used solely for leisure cruising.
Offering a practical and versatile layout, ‘Leisurely Fox’ is equally suited to relaxing holiday cruising or as a comfortable full-time liveaboard. The interior retains much of its original charm and character, complemented by a thoughtfully updated galley that blends seamlessly with the traditional style of the fit-out. We are open 7 days a week for viewings by appointment only please.
