Owners Comments

 

Astral Music underwent a 10 month, £30,000 re-fit in 2002 – see surveyors report attached. Since then Astral Music has spent every winter under a full boat cover to protect the new teak decks from rain erosion.

 

Astral Music has been chartered privately by the owners as captain and crew/hostess, this excellent example Grenadier has been maintained to very high standards, including regular modifications and upgrades every year.

 

Astral Music is also available for sale as an established and successful charter business and the extremely informative web-site, 4 years of accounts and database are available subject to further negotiation if of interest.

 

Astral Music can be delivered anywhere in the EEC and will be sold to a buyer in the EEC to protect its VAT paid status.
