Freeman 22

The Freeman 22 remains one of the most recognisable and well‑loved river cruisers in British boating, celebrated for its classic profile, dependable build, and effortless charm on inland waterways. Its 22‑foot hull delivers a reassuring sense of stability, while the 7ft 6in beam creates a surprisingly generous interior footprint for relaxed days afloat.

The low air‑draft and modest draft make it exceptionally well‑suited to rivers, backwaters, and bridge‑lined cruising routes, opening up stretches of water many larger craft cannot reach. Inside, the Freeman 22 offers a warm, inviting layout that has stood the test of time: a comfortable saloon, practical galley, and convertible berths that make weekend escapes feel easy and unhurried.

The cockpit provides a sociable helm position with excellent visibility, encouraging slow, confident cruising and connection with the water around you. L'Alouette has been under current ownership for over 30 years and now is the time for her next adventure.

She is very much being sold as a boat that requires some TLC, so please be advised that, while the boat does run under her own power, some work is still required before she can be fully enjoyed by her new owners.
