This 4 -berth Water-Rat is a remarkably good example of our original design of canal and river craft built by us during the 1970’s. At only 18’6” in length and with a 15ft full-headroom cabin it offers 4 adult berths (2 x double-across), a compact workable central galley and, with centrally placed toilet and wardrobe compartments, it is effectively divided up into two cabins.

This Beaver 23 was built by ourselves in 1987 and supplied to its original owner, externally complete but only partially fitted internally. The rest of the interior was completed to a good standard by the owner. The boat has been well-loved by the present owners who have progressively upgraded both equipment and furnishings during their ownership.

This unique Wilderness Beaver 23 is the outcome of our supplying, to bespoke order, a long-cabin version of our Beaver 23ft trailboat as a bare boat for home completion. The coach roof cabin at 17ft6” is 2ft longer than a standard Beaver. This extra length of accommodation space was at the expense of the stern cockpit area.
