Doral 250 Monticello, DESERT ROSE is a lovely 2005 Doral 250 Monticello, a well-regarded Canadian-built cruiser that delivers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel on the water and makes excellent use of space throughout. She really stands out for her smart cockpit design, particularly the sliding rear bench seat, which moves aft to instantly open up the cockpit and create a much larger social or lounging area. It works brilliantly when you’re at anchor and enjoying time afloat with family and friends, giving everyone more room to relax without feeling on top of each other. Below deck, she is a practical and comfortable weekender with accommodation for four, a compact but functional galley, and a proper onboard toilet, making overnight stays straightforward and enjoyable. She suits a wide range of boating, from easy family weekends away to relaxed coastal cruising or day trips over to the Isle of Wight. Overall, she is the kind of boat that feels just as comfortable tucked in a quiet bay as she does running between harbours on a sunny afternoon.
