From her beautifully handcrafted interior to her gracious but robust looking exterior, the Stevens 1200/50 Aft Cabin Vlet is a true classic and much admired motor cruiser across Europe.
Her more vertical facing windscreens, extended saloon coachroof with large side windows and spacious raised cockpit all help to create the traditional look and contribute to the feeling of larger space than in any other 12 metre design of her type.

Whether you're cruising the high seas or moored bankside at your favourite retreat, there is space for the whole family to enjoy time aboard in real comfort. The large aft cabin has acres of storage and total privacy from family or guests in the forward cabin. Ample dining space, a well-appointed galley, plus a second toilet/wash room within the forward cabin completes the package for extended cruising.
This boat was built for the 2004 Southampton Boat Show with no expense spared.
With an exceptional interior fitted out to the current owner's specification. Completed and first commissioned September 2004. Also featured in the Motor Boat Monthly, boat report May 2005, back issues available, MBM rating 9/10, she must be seen to be appreciated.
