Dreamers Reality

Hardy Seawing 305 At just over 30 feet, this British-built hard-top sports cruiser sits in a practical sweet spot — genuinely manageable for a couple, yet with two cabins and a proper saloon that make spendingtime aboard entirely comfortable.
She combines twin Volvo Penta diesel Z-drives with a sheltered helm position and a layout that works as well in a marina as it does at anchor in a quiet bay. she presents in very good condition following a consistent programme of upgrades and maintenance by her current owner.

She has benefited from a significant number of recent improvements, including new solar panels (2021), a new Rocna anchor and 60m chain (2021), a new aft cockpit enclosure with windows (2022), a roll cover for the cockpit roof (2022), a new water tank in PE (2023), an aluminium gangway (2023), and a new aft table (2023). The saloon upholstery, carpet, and aft deck upholstery have all been renewed, and the hull is protected with Coppercoat long-life antifoul. A 3.7m aluminium RIB tender with Suzuki 5hp outboard is included in the sale.

BROKER'S REMARKS

Hardy Marine built a reputation for quality and practicality over many years, and the Seawings 305 is a genuinely capable coastal motor boat: the hard-top keeps the helm position sheltered in all conditions, the twin Volvo Penta diesel Z-drives are a proven combination, and the two-cabin layout works well for a couple afloat for a week or more.

The current owner has invested consistently in keeping her in good order. New solar panels, anchor and chain, full aft cockpit enclosure, renewed interior upholstery and carpet, new water tank, aluminium gangway, and Coppercoat on the hull — these are the actions of someone who takes upkeep seriously, and the condition of the vessel reflects that. At this size and price point, a boat this well maintained is not easy to find. For a couple looking for a capable, comfortable island hopper — ready to use from the moment she changes hands — this one is worth a serious look.
