EU VAT Paid status

 

Step aboard this long keel Colvic Watson 32 Ketch and experience the perfect blend of classic design, solid craftsmanship, and modern comfort. Built in 1994 and meticulously maintained, this motor-sailor is not only a capable cruiser but also a fantastic liveaboard yacht — ideal for extended stays or year-round living in the heart of the Algarve.

The Colvic Watson 32 is widely respected for her rugged build, traditional lines, and seaworthy performance. But what truly sets this boat apart is her comfort and practicality as a liveaboard. The warm, inviting interior, ample storage, and reliable systems make life aboard both easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re spending winters in sunny Portugal or planning long-term cruising, she offers a cozy and secure floating home.

Anyone who first sees Lily Anais and her classic design is immediately impressed by the condition and how well maintained she is. The current owner, who is just the third owner, has kept her in good condition. Stepping onboard you may enter the Wheelhouse directly or walk around the secure deck area surrounded by a fixed guide railing towards the bow, with its nice deck area with space enough for a couple of chairs for you to enjoy your sundowner. Entering the wheelhouse, with all the navigation equipment needed, has room for both a comfortable navigation chair, but also a sitting area for passengers. Under the floor is easy access to the Engine, water broiler, pumps, batteries and miscellaneous other services. From the wheelhouse you can either go down a few steps and forward in the vessel and get to the Saloon and Pantry and further into the forward double cabin and head, or you can go take a few steps down back to the large aft cabin with its washbasin area with sink and freshwater tap and plenty of cabinets for storage.

From the wheelhouse you can enter the deck from both sides and move to the aft deck where the mizzen mast is located, and there is space enough to sit two people and enjoy the aft deck as well as enter the Dinghy on its davits and the swim ladder on the stern of the vessel.

The saloon has a U-shaped sofa, with newly updated fabrics (2019), and a table in front that can be lowered and turned into an extra bed. On the starboard side is the Pantry with a classic beautiful Flavel 2-burner stove and oven, a door opened refrigerator with ice-box and a double kitchen sink with pressurized fresh water tap for both hot and cold water. Plenty of storage on both sides. Forward in the vessel is the double V-berth Cabin with closets and storage. On the starboard side leading to the forward cabin is the Head, with sink, closets and shower. 

This yacht is turnkey ready and fully equipped for sailing and living aboard. Whether you’re looking for a solid cruising vessel, a comfortable home on the water, or both — this Colvic Watson 32 Ketch is an excellent choice.

This vessel offers a total of 6 berths in 2 cabins plus a saloon/dinette area, with 1 head and a galley equipped with an oven, grill, 2-burner stove, and fridge. The vessel benefits from significant refurbishment including new rigging in 2014-15, a good well known 59hp Ford engine with only 1600 hours, hydraulic steering, bow thruster, renewed stern seal 2021, Electric windlass, New (2022) dinghy and outboard engine. The owner has started a smaller update of fabrics in the ceiling of the wheelhouse to refresh the look of it, but not yet finalized, but a simple task to complete. 

 

The owner has a yearly contract for the berth in Marina de Lagos that a new owner can take over. Lagos Marina is in the heart of Portugal’s Algarve coast, Lagos Marina offers everything a liveaboard could want — modern facilities, excellent security, a welcoming international community, and walking distance to shops, restaurants, beaches, and historic old town. It’s a perfect base for cruising or full-time living.
