Beziers is not your typical English canal boat; she embodies the charm and elegance of a European vessel. Designed and built in the UK, this 49ft x 10ft widebeam cruiser has spent much of her life as a hire boat on the scenic Canal du Midi in the south of France. After settling in Devizes, Wiltshire, following the Covid pandemic, Beziers underwent thoughtful modifications, transforming her into an ideal marina-based residential home. With a perfect blend of comfort and functionality, she invites families and friends to experience life on the water like never before.
The interior layout of Beziers is exceptionally well-suited for family use, featuring two permanent double berths, each with its own ensuite bathroom. This thoughtful design allows for privacy and convenience, making it easy to accommodate guests. Additionally, the aft saloon offers a versatile make-up double bed, allowing the boat to comfortably sleep up to six people. Whether you're enjoying a peaceful weekend getaway or hosting friends for a festive gathering, Beziers provides a welcoming and spacious environment that feels like home.
Steering Beziers is a delight, thanks to the elevated flybridge that offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The wheel's position allows for easy navigation while enjoying the beauty of the open water. Both the flybridge and the lower aft deck boast ample storage and generous seating, creating the perfect setting for al fresco parties. Imagine hosting friends and family on sunny afternoons, surrounded by picturesque scenery, laughter, and good food—Beziers is designed for those memorable moments.
The galley on Beziers is a cook's dream, featuring a 4-burner gas hob and oven, two under-counter fridge freezers, a single sink and draining board, and essential cooking utensils. Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before a day of exploration or whipping up a gourmet dinner, this well-appointed space ensures you have everything you need at your fingertips. The practical layout allows for easy movement, making cooking and entertaining a breeze.
Step into the lounge, where a six-seater dining table awaits, complete with a detachable feature that provides additional space for the make-up bed. The cosy area is perfect for enjoying meals together, catching up over a glass of wine, or relaxing with a movie. The bedrooms on Beziers are designed for comfort, featuring a boatman’s cabin with a double bed, two built-in wardrobes, and a dressing table, along with a master bedroom boasting a double bed, built-in wardrobe, and dressing table. Each bathroom is equipped with modern amenities, including a toilet, bath with shower overhead, and wash basin, ensuring convenience for everyone on board.
Beziers is built to last, with a hull constructed by Colecraft Engineering and a fit-out completed by Napton Narrowboats. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout the boat, ensuring both durability and aesthetic appeal. With a layout that flows seamlessly from stern to bow—featuring a saloon, galley, bathrooms, and bedrooms—Beziers is a truly exceptional vessel that offers the ultimate lifestyle on the water.
