GYPSY QUEEN
If you’re in the market for something special, you will find this one hard to ignore. A practical floating home Gypsy Queen can be a live-aboard or weekender family houseboat. The current owner has taken pride in the upkeep and maintenance of this vessel, and this is reflected in the overall condition.
Built 1980, it is of heavy-duty construction having large pontoons providing good freeboard, in addition to accessible storage pods on the fore and aft decks.
Boarding is a breeze to the spacious foredeck, with a large winch down ramp that can easily cater for a motorbike or mobility scooter.
Step through into the forward lounge, dining, helm, and kitchen. The helm station is located on the starboard side with UHF radio and all standard VDO instrumentation, aft of the helm is a six-seater dining setting plus a neatly inbuilt study nook. The lounge area has a three-seater chaise sofa bed, whilst the kitchen is modern, well-equipped with a Thetford Caprice stove/oven/grill, Waeco 12V fridge/freezer, Panasonic microwave, loads of storage space including drawers and corner pantry.
There are two queen size walk round primary bedrooms, with built-in robes and plenty of cupboard space. The third stern bedroom could easily be re-purposed with a pull-out sofa bed for accommodation and become a second entertainment / lounge area.
The mid-ship bathroom is modern and of generous size, with marine toilet, moulded shower, vanity, and a European style built-in laundry with Lemair washing machine.
The standout feature of Gypsy Queen is the very large rear deck, bringing another dimension of outdoor living, having all weather wind-down outdoor blinds, timber outdoor setting, and gas heater for year-round comfort and entertaining, this needs to be seen to fully appreciate.
