(REDUCED) Swan of Cookham is a beautiful and rare 55’ Thames Inspection Launch built in 1999 with a Reeves of Knapton hull. This vessel is very much a typical Thames inspection launch and features a wonderful open bow deck and the classic
‘slipper stern’. Swan of Cookham has recently been refurbished by the current owners and ready to go. The boat was built with forward steering which is usual for an inspection launch but this was removed and conventional narrow boat steering is now in place.

The hull of the boat was built by G&J Reeves in 1999 being well maintained still  in very good shape. The hull
itself was blacked and painted in 2022 along with new anodes all round. The exterior cabins are in good order with
little sign of rust and blistering. Inside the vessel has been recently updated throughout with some painted walls.
Galley cabinets  are new, some have curved door fronts for easier flow through the boat ,worktopsare new  and new equipment. inc. washing machine, glass topped sink in black and black glass 4 burner hob with over underneath oven. Vessel has a microwave and a brand new 12 v fridge freezer in black.

The new shower room. is modern with a double size shower and round counter top basin in white
Starting forward the bow deck is a lovely space that on a nice day with the covers rolled up provides a great area to
eat meals or entertain. If the weather turns the covers (which are in good order) can simply be rolled down to keep you
out of the elements. The area has comfortable cushions and a removable table. Under the seating there are 2 stainless
steel water tanks.
Moving aft through the glazed double doors you step into the saloon area. You will immediately notice this is a large
space with loads of light thanks to the 6 large windows that is typical of an inspection launch. The windows all open and glass can be removed on very hot days.
allowing more air and feel closer to the environment.

On the starboard side is a cupboard and an area with the 32in  TV with Aerial point. Further into the saloon there is a sofa that converts down into another 2 berths
The well apportioned galley is next. The galley layout is practical space with a built under Thetford Duplex, top
mounted 4 burner hob, black glass sink and drainer and a free standing LEC 12v fridge/Freezer. This layout not only
provides ample worktop space but also gives a large amount of storage from your pots and pans and a microwave. On the Starboard side you will notice the large side hatch which when open gives both air and light into
the space.
Further aft is the showeroom. In this space you will find a large shower cubicle which has been recently fitted, along
with wall mounted glass fronted cupboards and a ceramic sink/vanity unit and a pump out toilet. The showeroom has
a porthole to provide extra privacy.
Moving aft again we move into the bedroom. Again like all the other spaces in the boat is a good size and provides
plenty of storage. There is a fixed double with a new mattress and storage underneath. Also under the bed you will find the
calorifier with the immersion heater and the toilet tank. Another bonus to the bedroom space is the floor to ceiling wardrobe and separate
dressing table, mirror and cupboard space underneath.
Next we move into the trad stern style engine room. This is a nice tidy engine room space which has been well
boarded yet easy to get to everything without needing to take everything apart. There is ia wall mounted storage
cupboard also which contains all the bits you need to maintain the boat.
Finally we step out onto the ‘slipper’ style stern, and whilst this is a trad style back end there is a large deck to stand
and maneuver the boat
