Merlin's boat plan
Description
Merlin’s versatility makes her the perfect choice for a family with children or couples holidaying together. The rear bedroom can be made up with either a 4ft double bed or 2ft twin beds, upon request, while the double bed in the middle cabin cleverly slides out to create further space and is especially useful for taller guests. Relax under the canopied front deck or pull down the blinds to create an enclosed, weather-proof area. Merlin has double glazing throughout and there’s a log stove for cosy evenings when it’s a little chilly.
Length: 18.3m (60ft)
Width: 2.1m (6ft 11in)
Max. headroom: 1.91m (6ft 3in)

Reviews
Thank you Alasdair for the hire of a great boat and JD for the expert tuition. Thank you all at Beacon Park Boats. Oh, and Steve at Llanfoist,he's a top chap!
My third holiday with Beacon Park Boats. Boats was extremely comfortable and well equipped. Staff were very friendly during handover. Glass of fizz a welcome treat. Looking forward to holiday number four at some point in the future.
