Oliette is a beautifully presented 2016 Trusty T23, maintained to a notably high standard and offered in immaculate condition.
The Trusty T23 is a particularly appealing British-built semi-displacement motor cruiser, combining traditional styling and substantial construction with excellent seakeeping, an enclosed wheelhouse and remarkably useful accommodation for a boat of her size.
Oliette has clearly benefited from careful ownership and regular maintenance. Her Yanmar 54hp diesel engine has recently been serviced and has recorded approximately 365 hours, while the hull and superstructure have also been recently cleaned and polished.
Below the waterline she benefits from a Coppercoat antifouling system. She is being lifted in late August 2026, when the underwater surfaces will be cleaned.
A particularly worthwhile recent improvement is the completely new 2026 cockpit enclosure manufactured by Beaufort Canvas, complemented by new upholstery, leaving the cockpit looking exceptionally smart and providing a useful additional sheltered living area.

A boarding ladder is fitted at the transom.
The substantial aft cockpit is a major feature of the Trusty T23 and greatly extends the usable living space aboard.

Oliette is not presently fitted with radar or an autopilot.
One of the attractions of the Trusty T23 is the amount of usable accommodation contained within her relatively compact dimensions.
Approximately 2 + 1 berths are available, making the boat particularly suitable for a couple while still providing occasional additional sleeping accommodation.
The interior is light, practical and extremely well presented, with useful storage throughout.
Webasto diesel heating extends the practical cruising season considerably and makes the boat comfortable during cooler spring and autumn cruising.
Oceanair blinds are also fitted.
The galley is equipped for comfortable weekends and longer periods aboard and includes:
A separate heads compartment is fitted with a manual Jabsco marine toilet.
The inventory records separate engine and domestic battery provision together with charging arrangements and shore-power capability.
Oliette is an excellent example of a Trusty T23 and stands out for the standard of her presentation and the obvious care invested in her upkeep.
Her low-hour Yanmar diesel, bow thruster, Coppercoat, diesel heating and comprehensive navigation equipment provide an excellent cruising specification, while the new 2026 Beaufort Canvas cockpit enclosure and new upholsteryrepresent significant recent investment.
The Trusty T23 offers many of the qualities normally associated with considerably larger motor cruisers: a protected wheelhouse, substantial construction, proper accommodation and reassuring sea-going manners, while remaining economical and manageable.
For anyone seeking a high-quality, traditional British motor cruiser for coastal cruising and comfortable weekends aboard, Oliette deserves close inspection.
Presented in immaculate condition and ready for her next owner to enjoy.
