Cloondavaun Marina

Free Spirit offers generous interior space, a bright open-plan saloon, and the sort of sensible accommodation that suits extended cruising on the Shannon system or longer stays afloat.

Commissioned in 1992 at the respected De Druit yard in Drachten, Netherlands, she presents as a smart and well-maintained vessel throughout.

She is powered by a single Iveco Aifo 8061 6-cylinder 117hp diesel engine. The engine is housed within a notably large engine room, providing good access around the unit for routine servicing and maintenance — something experienced owners will appreciate immediately.

Interior Layout & Accommodation
The interior is bright, clean, and thoughtfully laid out, making particularly good use of the available beam. Forward, the front peak cabin provides a comfortable double berth. Moving aft, there's a twin bunk cabin to port and a double aft cabin to starboard. The main accommodation opens into a spacious central living area with a large L-shaped galley and dinette to port. Opposite, additional seating with an occasional table creates a sociable saloon area with plenty of natural light.

The open-plan arrangement gives the boat a notably roomy feel for a vessel of this type. A short companionway aft leads down to the secondary accommodation spaces:
- Head compartment to starboard
- Separate shower room opposite to port
- Twin bunk cabin to port
- Double aft cabin to starboard

Accommodation throughout is well maintained and sensibly presented, with a practical cruising layout suited to family use, guests, or longer periods aboard.

Galley & Living Space
The galley is arranged in an efficient L-shape and positioned within the main social space rather than separated off, which works well onboard. Combined with the dinette and saloon seating opposite, the central accommodation feels open, usable, and comfortable without wasting space. The saloon benefits from:
- Bright interior presentation
- Open-plan design
- Additional seating area
- Occasional table
- Good circulation throughout

Heads & Shower Facilities
The vessel features one aft head compartment and opposite is a dedicated shower cubicle, allowing the facilities to be used independently — a practical arrangement for cruising or guests aboard.

Aft Deck & Exterior
One of Free Spirit’s strongest features is the generous aft deck arrangement. Positioned above the aft cabin, the elevated deck provides a commanding centred helm position with good visibility around the vessel. The entire aft deck area is enclosed with frames and canvas, extending usability during the less sunny days. A large steel bathing platform is accessed via steps aft, while access to the transom and side decks remains straightforward.
Features include:
- Large aft deck
- Centred helm position
- Full canvas and frame enclosure
- Steel bathing platform
- Access to side decks and transom

Free Spirit offers exactly what many buyers entering the Dutch steel cruiser market are looking for: solid construction, practical cruising accommodation, manageable systems access, and comfortable living space afloat. She would suit extended inland cruising, seasonal liveaboard use, or a buyer stepping up into a more substantial vessel with proper onboard accommodation and a strong sense of space throughout.
