Cockwells showcases Duchy stars for sale at Southampton International Boat Show

Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding is set to exhibit two of its finest Duchy Motor Launches at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show (SIBS24), which takes place in the maritime city between 13 and 22 September. What’s more, these two vessels are both on the market and ready to sail away from this year’s show.

Visitors will be able to step aboard the stylish Duchy 27, ‘Zena’ and the classic Duchy 35, ‘Dolly’ at Stands M318 and M320, and experience first-hand the classic styling and modern luxury that Cockwells’ Duchy Motor Launches exude.

Excitingly, both boats have recently become available on the Cockwells Brokerage – a dedicated service that the Company has established to serve clients wishing to upgrade their vessels to larger Duchy Motor Launches or Hardy Motor Yachts, or purchase previously owned Cockwells-built craft.

Duchy 27, ‘Zena’ was launched in 2022 and is a beautiful example of this versatile model, which is a weekender for two or picnic boat for six day guests that offers the perfect combination of exceptional performance and understated elegance. Having been lightly used and maintained in immaculate condition, her owners are now upgrading to a brand new Duchy 35, creating the rare opportunity to purchase a pristine preowned Duchy 27.

Duchy 35, ‘Dolly’ is a stunning example of this iconic motor launch. Featuring a sleek grey hull, teak varnished transom and cockpit doors as well as a single master cabin, an oak interior and a sunroof that fills the airy saloon with light and warmth, she is also highly specified to include air conditioning, heating, a Bimini, a deck shower, and much more.

Ranging from 25ft to 60ft, Duchy Motor Launches are sought-after, semi-production vessels that can be customised with any number of optional extras to create a cruising environment that is unique to each owner.

“We are proud to exhibit two of the finest Duchy Motor Launches we have ever built at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show,” explains Owner and Founder, Dave Cockwell. 

“These vessels not only demonstrate the world-class craftsmanship, innovative technological prowess and polished styling for which we are globally renowned and respected, but also highlight the calibre of preloved vessels that we offer through our exclusive brokerage.

“With our wealth of knowledge and exemplary customer service, Cockwells is well-placed to support those interested in purchasing a high-quality, pre-owned Duchy Motor Launch or Hardy Motor Yacht and we look forward to meeting prospective clients at this year’s Boat Show. A warm welcome awaits you on the Cockwells stand where you can discuss your unique on-the-water requirements with our friendly and experienced team.”
