Sule Skerry – Unique Ex-Ferry Conversion Project
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Sule Skerry, a distinctive ex-ferry vessel offering excellent potential to be transformed into a spacious and characterful floating family home.
Already featuring some charming and unusual design elements, this two-level project provides a superb blank canvas for imaginative buyers to create an affordable and stylish home on the water.
Accommodation & Layout
Spread over two levels, Sule Skerry offers impressive headroom throughout and ample scope to design a comfortable, open, and airy home.
Lower level: Space to create two double bedrooms and a family bathroom
Upper level: Ideal for an open-plan kitchen and living area with abundant natural light from the porthole windows
Central spiral staircase: A beautiful existing feature that connects both levels and adds charm and character
The upper deck area is especially bright and open, offering a blank canvas ready for creative interior design — whether you envision a contemporary loft-style living space or a more traditional nautical feel.
Potential & Lifestyle
Sule Skerry represents a rare and affordable opportunity to create a bespoke houseboat with genuine family living potential. Her unique shape and layout make her stand out visually, and with the right vision and work, she could become a stunning and comfortable full-time home.
The vessel’s size and proportions lend themselves well to a practical and stylish conversion, making this an ideal project for those looking to combine creativity with value.

Local general store and restaurant/diner within walking distance
Bus terminus with connections to neighbouring areas
Schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, shops, restaurants, and takeaways nearby
