Step aboard the brand-new Lakeland 57, the inaugural model in the exciting new Lakeland range of narrowboats and wide beams. Built in May 2026, this beautifully crafted 57ft cruiser stern narrowboat has been designed to offer exceptional quality, contemporary styling, and impressive specification as standard, all while maintaining outstanding value for money. Complete with the Lakeland "On the Water Package Included", the Lakeland 57 is ready to enjoy from day one.
Designed with a highly desirable reverse layout, this stylish narrowboat combines practical living with modern comforts, making it equally suited to leisurely cruising, extended holidays, or life afloat. Thermal break double glazing throughout enhances onboard comfort and energy efficiency, ensuring the boat remains warm in winter and cool during the summer months.
The spacious cruiser stern creates the perfect social cruising area, featuring wrap-around upholstered seating with integrated storage lockers beneath, along with a full pram cover for additional protection from the elements. The helm position is well equipped with Morse controls, a Barrus Shire deluxe instrument panel, bow thruster controls, and easy access to the engine compartment via deck boards and weed hatch.
Stepping down into the galley, you'll find a thoughtfully designed space that offers all the conveniences of a modern home. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an integrated Thetford oven and separate grill, a three-burner gas hob, built-in coffee machine, 12v 70/30 fridge freezer, and a full-size washer-dryer. Elegant quartz worktops complement the traditional Butler sink and mixer tap, while a pull-out larder unit, wine rack, and extensive cupboard and drawer storage ensure practicality is never compromised.
Moving forward, the saloon provides a welcoming and comfortable living area, centred around a 4.5kW Eco DEFRA-approved multi-fuel stove set on a tiled hearth and surround. A modern media unit houses a 32-inch Smart TV, while two captain's chairs with matching footstools offer the ideal place to relax and enjoy the views. Display shelving and additional storage cupboards complete this attractive and functional living space.
The L-shaped dinette offers a comfortable dining area and easily converts into an additional double berth when required, making the Lakeland 57 capable of accommodating up to four people. Useful storage beneath the seating provides further practicality for longer stays aboard.
Continuing through the boat, the walk-through offset bathroom has been finished to a high standard and offers excellent facilities. A full-size 900mm quadrant shower with glazed sliding doors is complemented by a stylish raised wash basin mounted on a vanity unit, a Thetford porcelain cassette toilet, ceramic tiled flooring, heated towel rail, and ample storage for everyday essentials.
Located towards the bow, the master bedroom provides a peaceful and well-appointed retreat. The fixed double bed is fitted with a premium Emma mattress and benefits from generous storage beneath, while a double wardrobe, corner cupboard, and high-level lockers maximise storage space. A 24-inch Smart TV adds a touch of luxury, creating a comfortable and inviting space to unwind at the end of the day.
Powered by a reliable Barrus Shire 40hp diesel engine paired with a PRM 150 D2 gearbox, the Lakeland 57 offers smooth, dependable cruising performance. With only commissioning hours from new, the vessel presents in immaculate condition and is fully covered by RCD/RCR regulations for the first four years, providing additional peace of mind for her new owner.
Combining quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an impressive level of standard equipment, the Lakeland 57 represents a superb opportunity to own a brand-new, high-specification narrowboat. Stylish, practical, and ready to cruise, she sets an exciting benchmark for the new Lakeland range and is certain to appeal to both experienced boaters and newcomers alike.
