Beneteau Swift 52
An exceptional boat maintained with loving care. This boat is amazingly fitted out with a specification well above similar boats of this type. She is lying in at Largs Yacht Haven marina and lives on the Clyde in Scotland in one of the best cruising areas in the UK. The boat has lived there since new having the benefit of not being ravaged by the sun of the Mediterranean. Also, no VAT is payable on the purchase as opposed to making a purchase from abroad where a second payment of VAT and import duties would be needed as a result of Brexit.
