The Calypso was a very popular addition to the hire fleets of the Norfolk Broads and also the River Thames during the 1970s and 80s. Originally designed and built as a comfortable 4 berth holiday cruiser, Skylark has been tastefully modified by the current owners to create a more open plan layout with a comfortable aft saloon and compact galley and dinette forward. The vessel has been fully re-wired, shower and WC pumps refurbished, heater serviced, and antifoul and hull paint renewed in Spring 2024. Available for viewing 7 days a week, please contact us to make an appointment.
