OWNERS COMMENTS
Seiren has been meticulously mantained since her total refit in 2004. She is a real credit to her owner in the way he conducted the refit and has maintained her since. She is in turn key condition and with her workboat heritage is superb vessel for a mechanically minded owner or she would be fit go go back into full time pilot service.
Please do not miss this vessel as her condition is exceptional and we don't expect her to be on the market for very long.
