The Trent Lady, built in 1983 by Arcrite of Corby as a conference boat which after the recession of the '80s was purchased and transported to Newark Nottingham in 1992 where the upper saloon was added and was converted to a restaurant boat servicing the River Trent at Nottingham. In the mid-’90s, there was a change of direction to that of a sightseeing/party boat.
Due to retirement plans, the vessel was sold in 2001to the present owner who has devoted the last twenty years to developing an acknowledged and well-respected service
Retirement now beckons the current owner and the vessel is to be sold as either a class 5 passenger boat or as a project for a twin-decked houseboat.
The lower deck houses a fully equipped catering galley, bar and two microphor air-assisted toilets (model LF-210). The deck can accommodate up to 29 passengers for a sit-down meal cruise. There is also access to the foredeck and bow area of the boat as well as access to the upper deck via stairs located on the starboard side. Many of the windows can be opened for ventilation if required
The upper deck has a toilet and storage area at the stern of the boat, a rear saloon with fixed seating that can accommodate 19 people and a forward area that can accommodate up to another 12 passengers on movable tables, access to the wheelhouse and storage area is also from the forward saloon. As with the lower deck, many of the windows can be opened for ventilation.
