About this boat

The Argo 45ft Dartline Cruiser Stern Narrowboat – Ideal Liveaboard This well-equipped 45ft Dartline cruiser stern narrowboat offers a practical and comfortable layout, making her an excellent choice for extended cruising or as a liveaboard. Built with a steel hull and fibreglass roof, she combines traditional narrowboat character with a spacious, open-plan interior and an impressive 6ft head height. At the stern, the boat features a separate bathroom area with a shower, wash basin and cassette toilet, together with useful storage housing the Nikkai 800W inverter and Victron Blue Smart battery charger. Moving forward, the well-appointed galley provides plenty of workspace and storage for preparing meals. Equipment includes a Thetford Duplex gas hob, grill and oven, an Electrolux under-counter three-way fridge/freezer, a Rinnai gas instantaneous hot-water boiler, and a large sink with separate drainer. The spacious lounge provides a comfortable social area, with a fixed sofa positioned opposite the multi-fuel stove. The sofa can also be converted into a double bed, providing additional sleeping accommodation when required. Forward of the lounge, the bow has two fixed benches, which are currently arranged to create a large double bed. This flexible layout makes particularly good use of the available space and, combined with the generous headroom and open-plan accommodation, makes the boat well suited to life aboard. Outside, the cruiser stern provides a useful area for enjoying the waterways, while the boat is equipped with both a cratch and pram cover, offering additional protection from the elements.
