A fabulous example of this modern classic. Designed and built by The Steam and Electric Launch Company (latterly Creative Marine) in 1994, and fitted with an almost-silent, super-efficient Nexus N132M motor. Owned from new by a local businessman and kept in tip top condition by way of storage in a boathouse on Windermere, and regular maintenance both in terms of the woodwork and electrics by a dedicated team of professionals. Other notable owners of the very popular Frolic 31 include the world famous musical producer Cameron Mackintosh, who owned the very first Frolic 31 - "Salad Days". Built from a mixture of GRP and varnished solid woods, and styled to create a luxurious and nostalgic feel reminiscent of the "golden age" of boating, Orchard Belle will not disappoint her next owners. Whether you're considering family days out on Windermere, entertaining guests, sightseeing trips, or river boating, Orchard Belle will provide you endless days of fun and enjoyment for many years to come. She is equipped with a full-height heads compartment ... or perhaps it would be more appropriate to refer to this as a "Water Closet" as it is a space adorned with traditional styled bathroom furniture not dissimilar to that which you might have expected to find on luxury vessels in the 1800's. There's also a sink and 2-burner stove, a fridge, stereo system, curtains, well cared for upholstery, and huge windows bathing the internal space in natural light. It's hard to emphasise how beautiful the woodwork is on this beauty of a boat. She really needs to be seen in person to appreciate how good she really is. All of these observations are clearly high level and so a survey is always recommended in order to establish the true condition of any boat, but as first impressions go Orchard Belle scores as close to full marks as is possible in our opinion.
