Aquabell 27 Overview
A superb example of the highly regarded Aquabell 27, a boat renowned for her solid construction, excellent seaworthiness and practical layout. This particular example is presented in very good condition and has been much loved and well cared for by her current owner. She is powered by a reconditioned Ford Sabre 212C turbocharged diesel engine, with approximately 118 hours since reconditioning. The engine was serviced in winter 2025 and a new starter motor was fitted in 2026, giving peace of mind to her next owner. The boat benefits from a good selection of navigation and communications equipment, including a Lowrance Elite 9 Ti chartplotter, Koden radar, Garmin GPS 128, Sailor Compact VHF RT2048 radio, Standard Horizon VHF radio and an Autohelm 4000 autopilot. Accommodation is comfortable and practical, with a good sized galley area incorporating a sink, cooker and fridge. Forward is a V shaped berth with an infill cushion, which converts the area into a useful double berth. There is also a separate toilet compartment with a Jabsco manual sea toilet. The Aquabell’s GRP semi displacement hull provides a reassuring combination of stability, seaworthiness and comfortable cruising, while the large deck area and deep gunwales make her particularly practical and secure when moving around the boat. She also benefits from a tailor made Elite enclosed cockpit canopy fitted in 2024. Overall, this is a very good example of the Aquabell 27, combining a well proven and highly seaworthy hull – ready to be enjoyed by her next owner for coastal cruising, fishing or simply spending time afloat.
