Ayesha – Classic German-Built Motor Yacht

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Ayesha, a beautifully built German motor yacht in excellent mechanical condition. This elegant vessel combines timeless style, generous living space, and strong cruising capability — offering an exceptional opportunity to create a comfortable and characterful home afloat.

Accommodation and Layout
The spacious wheelhouse serves as both a helm station and day lounge, providing panoramic views whether cruising or moored. From here, aft doors open onto a large rear deck — a perfect outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining, surrounded by sturdy safety rails. Access to the tidy, well-equipped engine room is conveniently located from this deck.
A small staircase leads down to a well-appointed galley kitchen, fitted with a fridge, washing machine, two-ring hob, and ample storage and workspace.
Beyond the galley, the saloon offers further living space with built-in seating, great natural light, and additional storage.
Forward from the wheelhouse, steps lead down to the main cabin — a generous double bedroom with plumbing already in place for an en-suite wet room (which will require completion).
There’s also a forward deck, offering more outside space and excellent access when moored.

Mechanical and Systems
Ayesha benefits from an efficient and reliable Deutz FM6M 716 diesel engine (150 hp) and a 16 hp bow thruster, providing easy manoeuvrability. The onboard MV Hydro 5-S heating system is fully operational, ensuring year-round comfort.
With only minor interior finishing needed, Ayesha is ready to be transformed into a spacious, stylish cruising home.

Location
Within walking distance, there is a general store and restaurant/diner, as well as a bus terminus connecting to neighbouring areas.
This popular village location offers schools, shops, medical facilities, takeaways, leisure centre, and swimming pool, making it ideal for convenient everyday living.
For commuters, the A2/M2 provides quick access to London or the coast, while Strood station offers a high-speed service to London in around 40 minutes.
The area also enjoys beautiful riverside walks and sailing opportunities along the River Medway.
