A Refined Riverside Retreat

Thoughtfully appointed throughout, Josephine is ideal for a couple seeking a distinctive lifestyle—whether transitioning from land-based living or upgrading to a more exclusive riverside experience. Her interior is both spacious and stylish, with high-quality finishes and all the modern conveniences one would expect in a luxury apartment.

Below deck, the open-plan living area is generous and beautifully designed, with ample built-in storage. The galley features premium appliances and elegant worktops, while the bathroom includes a hip-sized bath and shower above, flushing toilet, and integrated cabinetry. The master bedroom offers a double bed, extensive wardrobe space, and considered lighting for comfort and serenity.

Above, the glazed wheelhouse invites natural light and provides 360-degree views. It also transforms seamlessly into guest accommodation. The aft deck—ideal for alfresco dining or morning coffee—extends the living space further into the natural beauty of the river.

Josephine is also a fully functional cruising vessel, built by renowned boatbuilder Piper. Her superior navigation and steering systems make her easy to handle—even solo—opening up the possibility of weekend escapes or extended journeys to destinations such as Cliveden, Henley, or central Windsor.

Combining craftsmanship, comfort, and capability, Josephine offers a rare opportunity to embrace a luxury lifestyle on the water.
