My home is a a Neptunus 133 cruiser. It is powered by two Volvo pentas with a total of 600 hp. More than enough to power this 43 foot boat. Live on my own so the boat is more than adequate for my needs.a].
Its been a massive learning curve for me, not mechanically minded in any way, but had to learn as you can't always get some one to repair stuff.
I've done a number of courses in the early days including Day skipper, yacht master, Also needed to redo my radio licence,which because of new tech,had to be done if your previous licence was issued before 1997. Then there was a diesel engine course, the instructor came to my boat and went through day to day maintenance, and generally keeping the thing ticking over, very useful course which has stood me in good stead since.
This boat could have been built with live aboard in
mind. Master cabin with walk around
double bed, plenty of storage and en suite toilet and a separate shower also en suite.

From the main cabin you step down into the galley which contains fridge, microwave, gas oven and hob and semi-circular seating area with a round table which drops down level with the seats to provide a large semi-circular bed. Not sure how bedding will fit this set up but time will tell. This area also provides a mass of under seat storage.

She is moored at Maryport marina in Cumbria, a good clean well organised marina with
excellent staff that seem only too willing to help.
