Just Joshing

Introducing Just Joshing, an lovely 57ft Semi-Traditional narrowboat, expertly constructed by Jon White with a high-quality fit-out by Sterling Narrowboats. Spanning a generous 57ft in length with a 6ft 10in beam, this boat offers remarkably spacious living accommodation, making it an ideal choice for both extended cruising and permanent afloat living. Maintained with care, the vessel has recently benefited from being blacked and repainted in 2025 – a substantial investment that means she is freshly prepared and ready for her new owners to enjoy straight away.

Power comes from a reliable and well-regarded Lombardini 36hp four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a PRM gearbox and keel cooling – a proven, low-maintenance setup that delivers dependable performance and excellent fuel economy. Fuel storage is provided by a tank holding approximately 40 gallons, while the 12-volt and 240-volt electrical systems are supported by a Sterling inverter, one starter battery and three leisure batteries, ensuring you have ample power aboard wherever your travels take you. Heating and hot water are comfortably catered for via an Eberspacher central heating system, complemented by a solid-fuel Aarrow stove – perfect for cosy evenings aboard – and hot water is generated through a combination calorifier, immersion heater and Eberspacher, drawing from around 150 gallons of domestic water capacity.

Inside, the accommodation is laid out to offer comfortable, practical living space. The galley area is fully equipped with cooker and 12-volt fridge/freezer. Sleeping accommodation is arranged to sleep four comfortably in total: a fixed double bedroom provides permanent, generous accommodation, while the dinette area converts easily into a second double bed to suit family, friends or guests. The bathroom is fitted with a cassette toilet, shower and vanity basin, completing the domestic feel and convenience on board.

Built with steel plating to a 10/6/4 specification and a flat hull shape, Just Joshing also features a side hatch, plus front and rear tonneau covers to protect deck areas and furnishings from the elements. Moored currently in Gloucestershire, she is easily viewable by appointment – a beautifully proportioned, well-cared-for narrowboat whose recent hull blacking, proven engineering and thoughtful layout make her an appealing prospect for anyone seeking a ready-to-enjoy home on the water.
