Overview

Design and Seakeeping

The Mitchell 31 MK III, built in 2005, is renowned for her rugged construction and excellent seakeeping. The hull form has long been favoured by commercial operators, which says a great deal about her ability to cope with difficult coastal conditions. As a result, she inspires confidence and is very much a boat designed to get you home safely in all weather.

Engines and Performance

This example is fitted with twin Volvo engines on leg drives, delivering a comfortable cruising speed of around 12 knots and a top speed of approximately 18 knots. Passage making is relaxed and controlled from the helm and navigator’s seating, making her well suited to longer coastal runs.

Deck Layout and Practicality

Wide side decks allow easy and safe access when coming alongside or anchoring. The cockpit offers plenty of seating for relaxing, while also providing ample space for fishing gear or practical deck use. The layout is simple, functional, and easy to move around.

Accommodation and Use

Below deck, the accommodation is practical and well laid out for a boat of this size. A double V-berth forward, combined with a galley and heads compartment, makes her a usable and comfortable weekender for short trips or overnight stays.

Location

The boat’s current location can be provided on request.

Broker's Comments

This is a proper little workhorse of a boat. She feels solid and reassuring, especially when the conditions aren’t perfect, which is exactly what these Mitchells are known for. From a skipper’s point of view, she’s easy to handle, predictable, and comfortable to drive, even on a longer run. The deck layout is sensible, the cockpit is useful, and she does what she says on the tin. If you want a tough, no-nonsense coastal boat that you can rely on, this Mitchell 31 fits the brief very well.
