Stevens 1200 VLET Builder SMELNE Yachts

Her more vertical facing windscreens, extended saloon coach roof with large side opening windows and spacious raised cockpit all help to create the traditional look and contribute to the feeling of large space. Whether you're cruising the high seas or moored bankside at your favourite retreat, there is space for the whole family to enjoy time aboard in real comfort. The large aft air-conditioned cabin has acres of storage and total privacy from family or guests in the forward cabin. Ample dining space, a well-appointed galley, Accommodation includes a main shower room with washing machine and tumble dryer plus two fresh water fed electric heads in the washroom forward and aft cabin completes the package for extended cruising in comfort.
Broker comments
'Queen Bee' was built to the original owners specification that also includes bilge keels for extra stability an auto start feature for the generator, engine cooling water filters and twin primary and secondary fuel filters and a hand held electric anchor winch controller in addition to the controller at the helm position.
The cockpit canopy has easy folding hinges which make it possible to drop and raise the hood on the move with great ease. If required the side and back can be unzipped and stowed in a special waterproof bag for maximum sunlight whilst retaining a bimini type cover over the crew.
A sturdy 34mm stainless steel pulpit and side railings provide excellent safety on deck with wide side decks and entry points either side which hinge down to form boarding ladders. There is a tall mast that carries the Radar scanner, flux-gate compass and remotely movable search light at an ideal height for navigation. The mast is easily raised and lowered for the helm position by an electric ram.
We highly recommend a viewing onboard Queen Bee.
