Monica Mabel

OFFERS OVER £175,000.

Beautifully crafted and designed with space, light, and flexibility in mind, The Monica Mabel is an expansive two-bedroom widebeam offering flexible space for a range of live/work possibilities — with generous waterside views, natural light throughout, and bespoke interior design by Daniel Higgins Making and Lindon Lewis Marine for marine efficiency and comfort.

Finished in Symphony Cream with a light, Scandi-inspired palette and rich wood textures, The Monica Mabel offers an eye-catching and unique home — a London base, live/work studio, or peaceful retreat — as well as the capacity for cruising adventures with efficient off-grid performance.

With high-quality Ted Todd engineered oak flooring throughout the open-plan living, dining, and galley space, two large bedrooms, and a well-proportioned bathroom, The Monica Mabel stands apart for her design, spaciousness, and distinctive feel. Double glazing and a side hatch in the main living space enhance the airy, contemporary atmosphere.

The kitchen features Elle Decoration–endorsed Custom Fronts cabinetry, designed to maximise space and blend seamlessly with the entrance steps and storage. The larger-than-average oven and generous saloon make it ideal for entertaining, with the option to spill out onto the large square stern deck. The galley is ideal for photoshoots and filming, showcasing its understated architectural presence.

The MM has been a peaceful haven for the current owner, who has happily raised a child aboard and used the space for yoga, movement practice, and small cultural gatherings.

Recently surveyed and reblacked (August 2025), The MM benefits from a Victron solar system and Rolls 12V AGM deep-cycling batteries, providing efficient off-grid living.

Only 5 years old, The Monica Mabel is in pristine condition and available with the option to take over her fully transferable residential mooring at Aquavista’s Poplar Marina, Canary Wharf — one of London’s most dynamic and sought-after waterside locations.
