For Sale: 1978 Fisher 34 Ketch – Eligible for an Extra Nights Contract at Brighton Marina

The Fisher 34 is widely regarded as the flagship sailing performer within the Fisher range. A true classic motor-sailer, she is built along the lines of a North Sea fishing boat, offering exceptional heavy-displacement stability and an outstanding reputation for seaworthiness. Her traditional Colin Archer-inspired canoe stern, distinctive trawler-style wheelhouse, and powerful, workboat-influenced bow give her a timeless, reassuring presence that remains instantly recognisable and much admired.

The Fisher 34’s enduring popularity stems not only from her robust construction but also from her comfortable cruising abilities, strong sailing performance for a motor-sailer, and her superb wheelhouse visibility—ideal for extended cruising in all weather conditions. Below deck, these models are known for their practical layouts, warm character, and impressive volume, making them a favourite for long-distance cruising and liveaboard life.

Please note that the original BMC engine has been removed and is no longer available. As expected with a vessel of this age, some cosmetic and maintenance work will be required, and the asking price has been set accordingly to reflect this.

For the right buyer—especially someone with the enthusiasm and appreciation for classic and characterful yachts—this Fisher 34 represents an excellent opportunity. Whether as a comfortable liveaboard, a capable coastal cruiser, or a rewarding restoration project, she offers exceptional value and the chance to own one of the most desirable models in the Fisher line, right in the heart of Brighton Marina.
