Broker's Comments

Boatshed Hamble are please top bring to market this characterful 45ft steel-built houseboat, custom-fabricated in 1994 and offered for sale after two happy years by the current owner as a comfortable liveaboard home on the River Hamble. Her owners are only reluctantly parting with her, having recently bought a house on land — a real endorsement of just how enjoyable life aboard has been.

Solidly constructed in steel with a bilge-keel underwater profile and durable paint finish, she's a robust and low-maintenance base for full-time or part-time living afloat. Power comes from a single 212hp Perkins Sabre diesel (1993) turning a four-blade fixed prop through shaft drive, showing a modest 313 hours — plenty of life left for weekend cruising or simply providing reliable auxiliary power. She's just been freshly antifouled (July 2026), had her anodes changed, and benefits from a survey on file dated July 2023.

Inside, accommodation sleeps two in a double berth, with a heads compartment (sea toilet), handbasin, and shower. The galley is equipped with a four-burner gas cooker, and the boat runs on a straightforward 12V/240V shore power electrical system. On deck, a manual windlass handles ground tackle duties.

Whether you're looking for an affordable entry into liveaboard life, a unique weekend retreat on the water, or a solid steel hull as a project to make your own, this houseboat offers a rare opportunity on the ever-popular River Hamble.
