Its a dangerous calculator, might need to upgrade to what Burgundybens got

I saw the hebridean princess in oban and its a small ship offering luxury cruises for a limited amount of passengers not like the big cruise companies.

My parents always cruised on Hebridean Princess and a different league to this ex trawler.. and actually quite a bit bigger... 237ft and yet still only manages 50 guests and 38 crew. Not sure this would pay with a fraction of the passengers

Has been for sale at Boats.co.uk for a few years now, still listed on their website @ £1.5 million, obviously now keen to move on. Buying it is one thing but the running/maintenance costs would be huge.

I remember this boat up for sale when we purchased our current boat I 2010/11 not sure of the price but believe it was in the millions ,would make a good live aboard ,

I was at Burnham last weekend and could still see her at Essex marina - did she sell?

Would make a nice floating B&B for people with boats on the dry in the boatyard and perhaps a quirky floating restaurant, berthed in Sant Carles, on the breakwater to starboard as you turn-in. I think that's owned by the Town? Might get some complaints from that rowdy lot on the Princess though!

Go on Jez, I dare you....!
