Take a peek inside our latest launch, Albatross! ⚓️

With no diesel heating onboard, Albatross stays cosy thanks to the #stove & multifunctional #aircon units that provide both warm air in winter & cool relief in summer. 🔥❄️

A standout feature on Jenny Wren is the stunning fused glass on the saloon/bathroom door. Featuring a Jenny Wren, it’s a beautiful nod to the boat’s name & adds a truly special finishing touch.

The bathroom and vanity unit are beautifully accented with Onyx Crystal panelling and adorable bird-shaped doorknobs add a touch of charm in the bedroom, reflecting the boat’s unique character 😍🐦

In an unusual twist, we only had one #boat move this time... but never ones to make things too easy, we chose a particularly #breezy day to keep things interesting! 💨😄
