About this Boat
Powered by a 43hp Beta diesel engine, driving through a shaft, she offers a reliable and practical set up for cruising the Norfolk Broads. The engine was serviced in April 2026, while further works include a new canopy fitted in January 2026, along with a fresh antifoul and a hull polish in April 2026.
The addition of a bow thruster is a valuable feature on a cruiser this size, making manoeuvring considerably easier, particularly when entering and leaving moorings.
The current owner acquired her from the original owner who purchased her new and with less than 500 hours showing on the engine, she represents an opportunity to acquire a well-established Shadow 26 with plenty of cruising ahead of her.
The interior has been arranged with comfortable cruising and practicality in mind, providing the facilities required for weekends away and longer periods afloat. Heating is provided by a diesel heating system, extending the usability of the boat throughout the year.
The galley is equipped for preparing meals comfortably while afloat and features:
Grill and oven
Two-burner hob
Sink with hot and cold running water
Fridge
Practical storage and preparation space
The separate bathroom compartment incorporates a shower and toilet connected to a holding tank.
The boat benefits from a useful combination of domestic and cruising systems, including:
Shore power
Inverter
12V sockets
240V sockets
With her boat safety certificate valid through July 2027 and 2026/2027 Norfolk Borads River Licence in place, this Shadow 26 is well set up for her next chapter on the water.
