Houseboat Liveaboard – Unique Lifeboat Conversion Orcades is a 9.1m P&O Liner Lifeboat Conversion. With recent updates throughout, Orcades is perfect for one or two.
She has an incredible history, much of it documented in a large box of memorabilia and paperwork. Now, she’s one of the most characterful boats on the south coast.
Currently situated in Chichester Harbour, she’s been lifted, antifouled, new anodes and ready to go.
She has a Perkins D6 engine, galley with fridge, microwave, hot water, and free standing mini hob.
A diesel air heater is fitted, but needs fixing or replacing – simple swap out. There’s a multi-fuel stove which is perfect for keeping really warm in all weathers.
The ‘bedroom’ is in the bow, with a full size double mattress, shelving, hanging space and a bespoke chest of drawers, there’s more than enough storage space.
In the wheelhouse, there’s a bath built into the sofa (it will need recommissioning)
With many windows and roof hatches, there’s a lot of light in the boat.
Viewing is possible most days of the week with arrangement. Please message me and we can arrange time. Thanks.
