Broker's Comments

Combining sailing performance with a spacious, light and well designed interior, the Kelt 8.50 is a great all rounder for family or single handed cruising.

Equally at home in the open sea or in shallow water, this vessel was revolutionary in its design. The design allows her to sail beautifully whilst having the luxury and flexibility of a shallow draft when needed and the ability to sit upright when drying out.

For a boat this size, the internal accommodation is exceptional. It has a well equipped galley, a large saloon table with plenty of room for 6 , a separate heads compartment and a good sized forward facing chart table. The 6 full sized berths include a double in the pretty Bretton bunk up forward, a double in the well-lit aft cabin and two singles in the saloon.

This example has been well cared for and looked after by it's current owner. There is a good navigation and safety equipment fit which has been updated regularly over the last few years.

A good all rounder for day trips, weekend trips and adventures further afield.
