All Butty Narrow Boats for sale in the UK
NB Capella is a traditional working boat with a very rich history, and was converted to a comfortable liveaboard in the early 80s. She was given hydraulic steering with a propeller in her rudder which means she kept a large wooden tiller, and handles beautifully -- even in reverse.

A 70ft modern butty constructed in 2004 by JD Narrowboats: Originally "Alnwick" was fitted to provide hotel sleeping accomodation to the hotel motor boat "Morpeth".

Anchor is a striking 54ft traditional butty, built by the Harris brothers with an iron hull and steel top—steeped in heritage, with roots dating back to 1919 and registration in 1943. Though she has no engine, her charm lies in the craftsmanship and thoughtful interior: two solid fuel stoves for cosy warmth, and a beautifully appointed walkthrough bathroom complete with roll-top bath, Thetford toilet, and vanity basin. Accommodation is generous and flexible, with a fixed double, a make-up double in the boatman’s cabin, and a futon—sleeping up to six. Her onboard systems are w...
