Features and description
Onward Mariner – Impressive 132ft Ex-Coaster with Expansive Living Space and Character
Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Onward Mariner, a former coaster that offers an extraordinary amount of space both inside and out, while proudly retaining her authentic ship character. With accommodation spread over two levels and multiple deck areas, this vessel provides a truly unique and versatile family home on the water.
Accommodation
Access is via the original crew entrance, leading into what was once the crew quarters. This area now offers a comfortable lounge, galley kitchen, shower room, toilet, double cabin, and a twin cabin featuring the ship’s original bunks — full of charm and history.
A wide stairway then leads down to the main hold, which boasts exceptional headroom and makes full use of the ship’s impressive steel framework. This vast space includes a spacious dining area, a large family lounge, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
Throughout the interior you’ll find ample built-in storage, diesel-fired central heating, and gas-fired hot water, ensuring year-round comfort. The layout provides excellent scope for further personalisation, allowing you to make this incredible vessel truly your own.
Exterior
Externally, Onward Mariner offers outstanding outdoor living space. The main 70ft deck has been laid with artificial turf, creating a perfect area for relaxation or entertaining. In addition, there are two further deck spaces and a wheelhouse, which provides breathtaking panoramic views and serves as a comfortable sun lounge.
The vessel was professionally surveyed prior to conversion, during which the entire hull was fully accessible and inspected, giving peace of mind regarding her solid structure.
Location
Within walking distance you’ll find a general store and restaurant/diner, plus a bus terminus with links to neighbouring areas. The popular surrounding village offers schools for all ages, local shops, restaurants and takeaways, doctors, dentist, chemist, and a swimming pool and leisure centre.
For commuters, the A2/M2 provides quick routes to London and the coast in under ten minutes. The nearest station, Strood, offers high-speed services to London in around 40 minutes. The area is close to the River Medway, offering sailing facilities and scenic walks across open countryside.
