Boat Overview

Stunning Victoria 34, the last one ever built. From the drawing board of Chuck Paine, the Victoria 34 emulates the hugely popular Bowman 40. Equally capable of long distance passages and coastal hopping, Blue Belle is ready for her next adventure. She has the much sought after separate aft cabin for that much needed privacy. Recent upgrades have included, full copper coat application, new windlass, recent set of sails, upgraded chart plotter and wind instruments, new safety equipment and a replacement Yanmar engine with around 250 hours, she really is the complete, turnkey package. Currently in her marina berth in Haslar Marina, Portsmouth. Please contact our Falmouth office for further information.
