Positives: A classic centre cockpit cruiser featuring a full sliding canopy over the helmsman and the raised saloon area, offering panoramic views of the Norfolk countryside. Accommodation includes a mix of double and single berths, with the two forward cabins remaining permanently made up.
Negatives: Just one WC/shower for up to six people. The beds are not walk-around, which can be difficult for people with physical disabilities having to clamber over a partner to exit or gain access in the middle of the night. There are a number of steps within this boat's interior, so perhaps not the best craft for those who are physically disabled. Be aware that your view over the reed-fringed banks on forward drive cruisers is limited.
Major Gem dimensions: 11.58m x 3.66m (38ft x 12ft)
