Hampton Safari Mk1V for sale in St Olaves

It is a real privilege to be able to offer to the market a very rare and beautiful Hampton Safari 25 MK4. Only 3 of these magical little boats were ever made, and this is one of the two that remain.

They are a wonderful little boat that have a huge amount to offer, and this example is very well presented and has most of her original features which makes her very special indeed.

She has been thoughtfully updated in the right places by her owners with Webasto diesel warm air heating, shore power, battery charger, two gas bottles, solar panels, new cooker and a quality fridge etc and she appears to have been kept very well by all her owners, who have obviously lavished a love and attention to detail that clearly shows everywhere you look. She has a couple of small areas here and there that to my critical eye would benefit from a light varnish. However, these definitely do not detract from what is a very charming and wonderful place to be and spend time afloat in comfort.

The boat feels far bigger than she is with a good sized offset double front cabin with dresser and wardrobe. Separate heads and large shower compartments give extra flexibility that will be appreciated on a boat of this size. Stepping up to the main saloon you find a large open plan saloon and large galley to starboard that has excellent space and facilities with gas cooker, fridge and plenty of storage and work space all offering great views out of the large windows. The main saloon to port is spacious and comfortable and does convert to what was originally billed as a double but in today's world its more a large single in my view.

The beautiful, large helm station is to port with original instruments and all appears to be in excellent order. Aft there is a large covered cockpit with twin seating benches with upholstered seating cushions (stored in the shower when I viewed the boat), under which reside the immaculate (and what appears to be) a very well running engine. The gas locker and battery storage areas are beneath the other bench locker so all very neat and tidy and an excellent use of the space. This aft cockpit has a full height canopy that means you can use the space all year round, and in summer is a marvelous outside space to relax and watch the world.

Her engine appears to start and run beautifully and has been serviced. Her Boat Safety Certificate runs to May 26 and her Broads toll is paid to March 2025.

This is a very rare and special vessel that I just love, and she is presented in what appears to be very good and original order and offers just the right blend of modern facilities yet retains her wonderful classic heritage. She will be sure to please her new owner, and I for one will be envious of you!

She has had recent injector pump fitted and is serviced
