Broker Remarks

Built along the lines of a tradition Scottish motor fishing vessel, "Halcyon" was the last of some 32 Inchcapes built. She is a sound and proven sea vessel. "Halcyon" is configured with two sleeping cabins, with en suite facilities. There are further sleeping berths in the saloon. She has generous 6' plus headroom throughout. "Halcyon" has had just two owners from new. The current owner has owned her for more than 10 years.
