Vegas Euro Cruiser


The Vegas Euro Cruiser is designed with all the characteristics of a city apartment but with the capability of cruising the wider canals and rivers, UK and European with simplicity.

The Vegas Euro Cruiser is 60ft x 12ft and built with a chine making it highly responsive to the helm, therefore it dramatically improves the manoeuvrability, making the Euro Cruiser a joy to steer.  A chine also facilitates mooring in shallow waters.

The Vegas Euro Cruiser has a short raised front deck to minimise the down flooding points to give you the confidence whilst in the larger locks of Europe or just caught in an unexpected storm.   With the shorter raised deck this allows for more internal cabin space.

The Vegas Euro Cruiser is also fitted with hydraulic steering to enable defined steering of the boat.  They are built with a rounded square stern, lockers and a curved wraparound seating area to maximise the outdoor space.

The Vegas Euro Cruisers are externally shot blasted (except base plate) to remove the mill scale, formed when hot rolled.   Under the waterline is painted with a two pack epoxy blacking.  Above the waterline is painted in a two pack paint system to provide prolonged impact & abrasion protection.

Fitted out using only the finest quality materials, fitted out with solid oak throughout, by our team of experienced craftsmen, the Vegas Euro Cruiser  offers excellent value for money with a very competitive price tag.

The layout of the Euro Cruiser from bow to stern is:  Bedroom (En-suite – optional), Bathroom, 2nd Bedroom/Office (optional), Saloon followed by the Galley.

The Euro Cruisers are British built by ourselves from base plate to sign writing and come complete with a Recreational Craft Directive, Category D, full owners manual with operating instructions, issued by an independent surveyor and a 12 month warranty.

*     These vessels can be VAT exempt with the current H M Revenue &
