Westcountry Trading Ketch Bessie Ellen For Sale Wooden Ships Comments on this traditional wooden tall ship For Sale A tall ship for sale, Bessie Ellen, is a 118ft gaff ketch built in 1904 by W. S Kelly of Plymouth as a trading ketch , one of many similar vessels plying their trade around the coast of the UK and Ireland. The current owner refitted her as a charter vessel , retaining as much of her original charm as possible. She has operated successfully around the UK, northern Europe and the Canary Islands for many years. This is an active vessel with an excellent reputation and has an income potential with current activities upwards of £250,000 per year. Bessie Ellen has a traditional feel but is equipped with modern electrical, mechanical and domestic systems making her a warm, safe and comfortable sailing yacht to be aboard even in cold northern climates. She has a large saloon, historically her cargo hold, with 12 single berths for guests and lots of seating. Forward is a crew cabin with separate heads; aft is the owner/skipper’s cabin. The commercial-grade galley is fully equipped for charter sailing. She is virtually unique due to her certification level, which would be very difficult to obtain if starting afresh with another vessel. Her certification includes: MCA Category 0 for 12 passengers plus 6 crew Class VI passenger licence for 60 day passengers Cargo licence for 50 tons of cargo. Bessie Ellen is registered under 24m so can be captained with an RYA Yachtmaster commercial licence making her an easy boat to crew. The vessel is fully equipped with all the necessary safety, navigation and general equipment for her certified level of commercial operation. Constantly maintained by a professional group of experienced craftsmen, this vessel must be one of the best examples of a traditional wooden sailing ship afloat and is in first-class condition ready for commercial sailing. Her MCA commercial licence is fully up to date with all. Still available at ListedBuy!
