We bought "Oystercatcher" in late 2021 to enjoy with our family on the River Dart, where her lift keel has been perfect for exploring the local waters.

She’s been a real pleasure to own — well cared for, regularly serviced, and stored indoors each winter.

We’re now looking for a slightly larger boat to take us on new adventures, but we’ll be sad to see her go.

We're happy to offer the use of her mooring to the new owners until the end of March 2026 (the Harbour Authority has agreed to this in principle).

We hope she brings as much joy to her next owners as she has to us.
