Worth knowing
Aqua Bell Ltd.; cover, cost and conditions
Aqua Bell Ltd. is based in Brundall near Norwich in Norfolk. The name goes back to Vic Bell, one of the founders of Aqua Fibre Ltd, a Brundall firm that moulded glassfibre hulls, and also the owner of Bell Boats. The Moonraker grew out of this circle: Bell Boats built the Moonraker 30 from 1968, and the larger Moonraker 36 arrived in 1969. From 1971 production passed to Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus, whose Moonraker Marine International built it until 1980. In 1987 Aqua Bell, together with East Anglian Marine in Brundall, took up the Moonraker 36 again as the Moonraker Super 36, and the last boat of that run was finished in 1991 for Vic Bell himself. Rip Martins is named as the designer of the Moonraker 36. The yard is known for compact glassfibre motor cruisers with an aft cabin.
Our model records list five designs, all filed as motor yachts. The oldest is the Aqua Bell 27 at 8.5 metres, listed for 1975 to 1981. The other four date from 1990 onwards: the Aqua Bell 28 at 8.53 metres from 1990 to 2000, the Aqua Bell 33 at 10 metres from 1990 to 1997, the Aqua Bell 33 WB, also 10 metres, from 1991 to 2000, and the Aqua Bell Moonraker 36 at 10.9 metres, which our records place between 1990 and 2000. None of them reaches the recent build years, and the latest year listed is 2000. The range is narrow, from 8.5 to 10.9 metres: two designs stay under nine metres and three measure ten metres or more.
Every Aqua Bell has a few decades behind it by now, so the condition of the individual boat matters far more than the name. Engine beds, fuel tanks and wiring deserve the closest look, together with windows and their seals, which tend to weep after years in the sun. An osmosis check on the bottom is worth doing out of the water. Many owners have renewed electronics, canopies and upholstery over time, and receipts for that work add to the picture. A boat kept on fresh water is kinder to its engine, though that alone says nothing about a dry hull. Aft cabin cruisers of this size make comfortable homes for a week on rivers and sheltered coasts.
