2019 Aintree Beetle 25' Narrowboat

Lilly Ann is an ever-popular Aintree Beetle 25ft narrowboat, commissioned and built in 2019. Compact yet impressively well appointed, she offers a versatile and cleverly designed interior, ideal for day cruising, weekend escapes, or longer adventures afloat. The aft cabin features port and starboard single Pullman’s-style dinette seating, which converts easily into twin single berths when required. Midships, a galley is positioned to port with a wet-room-style bathroom opposite to starboard. Forward, the cabin benefits from port and starboard bench seating that converts into a comfortable cross-width double berth, providing additional sleeping accommodation. Propulsion is provided by a modern Beta Marine 16hp three-cylinder diesel engine with just 56 engine hours. Comfort onboard is enhanced by an Eberspächer Airtronic D4 heating system, alongside comprehensive 12V and 240V electrical systems, making Lilly Ann ready for immediate cruising. Lilly Ann is now available to view seven days a week at Pyrford Marina.
