Description

A beautifully presented and well-maintained 1996 Bounty 27 Sedan, Kingfisher offers comfortable four-berth accommodation, economical diesel cruising, and a host of recent upgrades that make this a particularly attractive example of this sought-after river cruiser. Built by Porter & Haylett, the Bounty 27 is renowned for its spacious layout, easy handling, and practical cruising capabilities.

Recent investment includes a new aft canopy, new interior upholstery, gelcoat repairs, an engine service completed in April 2025, and a survey carried out in August 2024, providing confidence for prospective buyers. The hull was also antifouled in September 2024.

Powered by a reliable Nanni/Kubota N4.38 diesel engine with hydraulic drive, Kingfisher is equally suited to weekends afloat, extended river cruising, or leisurely family holidays.

Accommodation

The bright and welcoming interior has been refreshed with modern upholstery and flooring, creating a stylish and comfortable living space. The forward saloon converts to provide sleeping accommodation, while the separate aft cabin arrangement allows comfortable accommodation for up to four berths across two cabins.

The well-equipped galley includes:

Gas hob, oven and grill
12V refrigerator (approximately 12 months old)
Pressurised water system
Ample storage for extended cruising

The separate heads compartment includes a flush toilet and shower.
