"Bella" is a rare Marina 50 heavy displacement (go-anywhere) fly-bridge (hard top) motor cruiser. This wide-beam vessel with flared bows and high topsides at sea will look after the crew as the twin 230 hp turbo-charged Volvo Penta diesel engines economically power her through the chop at around 9 or 10 knots (cruise speed). A bow-thruster takes the drama out of close manoeuvring. Step aboard via the huge boarding platform (with security rails, rod holders and bait board) and up to the sheltered (hard awning) aft deck. The dinghy (on a cradle) and a Davco launch/retrieve crane sit on the top of the awning. This deck, with a settee, table, fridge and BBQ is a great space to dine and relax. To starboard is access to the saloon, galley and sleeping accommodations. To port, steps take you to the completely sheltered (clear curtains all around) flybridge with its fully equipped helm station, table and settee. Now step down into the light, warm, welcoming saloon (galley to port) with its cosy ambience from the fine solid teak cabinetry. The saloon helm station is to starboard. A large sliding door gives the skipper direct deck access. The aft master stateroom with a queen-sized double bed and ensuite is amazing. With two private cabins forward, one with a double bed the other with two singles and another bathroom, "Bella" offers all the comforts of home with the major bonus being this is a home in which you can change scenery (and neighbours) at will. A true liveaboard, she represents perhaps the best value waterfront 'apartment' on the market. Live the life and cruise the coast (or cross oceans) safely and comfortably.
"Bella" is owned by retired maritime professionals and is reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health.

Accommodation
Step aboard via the huge boarding platform (or midship gates) with security rails, rod holders, bait board and swim ladder to the sheltered aft deck featuring a settee, table, fridge and BBQ. This is where you will dine and relax on a summer evening. Then step up to the completely sheltered (clear curtains all around) flybridge with a fully equipped helm station, table and settee. Back to the aft deck and step down to the saloon, galley and sleeping accommodations. The saloon is light and bright thanks to the big windows. The craftsman solid teak fit-out is a feature in itself. The galley, (equal to an apartment kitchen) is to port with the dinette and its L-shaped settee immediately forward. Opposite is a superb credenza cabinet with a smaller side cabinet alongside. The saloon helm station is to starboard. A large sliding door gives the skipper direct deck access. Now we move aft and down to that amazing master stateroom with a queen-sized double bed, a beautifully crafted vanity unit with a matching seat, hanging lockers/drawers and a generous ensuite bathroom. Back to the saloon and forward and down to another two private cabins, one with a double bed the other with two singles (V berths) and another bathroom, "Bella" offers all the comforts for a couple or a family and friends. There is plenty of storage for a full crew on an extended cruise or for living aboard. This vessel offers the best of layouts and an outstanding level of comfort.
