Swansong Free
Swansong Free is a cherished 60ft Semi Traditional Narrowboat built by Stoke on Trent Boatbuilders in 2018. The current owners have upgraded Swansong Free throughout their ownership and her condition is testament to this.
The boat benefits from 2+2 berths in a reverse layout and is double glazed throughout. Swansong Free is fully equipped with many extras and she is ideal for use as a liveaboard or extended cruising. The Beta 43hp engine has just 1462 hours of use.
