Remarks
Blackwater Motor Yachts 36 Flybridge – based on a designed by John Bennett - £114,950
This Blackwater Motor Yachts 36 Flybridge, specifically designed for the current owner based on a Colvic design by John Bennett, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully specified and lightly used example of this highly capable motor yacht. Commissioned by her current owner from new, she has been maintained with great care and offers comfortable accommodation for four people in two cabins. She is powered by twin Cummins MerCruiser 320hp diesel engines, with an exceptionally low 120 hours, complemented by bow and stern thrusters for effortless manoeuvring and close-quarters handling.
Her impressive specification includes a comprehensive suite of electronics with dual-station chartplotters and VHF radio, together with a Vetus generator and Vetus climate control system, providing excellent comfort and independence when cruising or staying aboard. The vessel has been out of the water since late 2024, when the sterndrive bellows were replaced. This provides an excellent opportunity for a prospective buyer to inspect the vessel and undertake any desired recommissioning before launch.A new pair of Michigan Bravo props were fitted in 2021
Offered for sale only because the owner is retiring from motor boating, this one-owner-from-new Blackwater 36 combines distinctive styling, excellent accommodation, impressive performance and exceptionally low engine hours. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Accommodation
The Blackwater Motor Yachts 36 Flybridge offers spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to four people in two cabins, making her an excellent choice for family cruising and extended stays aboard. The forward owner's cabin features a generous double berth, hanging locker and excellent storage, providing a comfortable and private retreat. The second cabin offers two single berths together with a large dressing area and additional storage, making it particularly versatile for guests or family.
The spacious saloon is finished with attractive cream leather upholstery, creating a bright and welcoming living area for relaxing or entertaining. The saloon has an Intellian Satellite TV System. The well-appointed galley is generously sized and equipped with a three-burner gas cooker with oven and grill, microwave, 12V refrigerator and stainless-steel sink. Pressurised hot and cold water is supplied throughout, heated via the engine 30 litre calorifier or 240V immersion heater. The separate heads compartment features a marine toilet, wash basin and a 150-litre holding tank, providing convenience for extended cruising.
The temperature is controlled by a Vetus Clima 10 Climate Control & Air Conditioning system which serves the forward cabin and living area. The smaller two-berth cabin is not served by the system, although a grille was fitted in the cabin; it was not ducted. As the system has not been used for some time, it would benefit from an inspection to check/verify functionality.
Outside, the large aft cockpit provides an excellent additional living and entertaining space and benefits from a cockpit enclosure, allowing it to be enjoyed in a range of weather conditions. The flybridge provides further outdoor space and excellent visibility, making the Blackwater 36 an ideal boat for relaxed cruising, entertaining and enjoying time afloat.
