Broker's Comments

The current owners had this replica, dutch barge built as a cruising liveaboard. Since this time the boat has been cruised on the Norfolk Broads, Yorkshire waterways and and from Kings Lynn to the river Blackwater. This barge is ideal and proven for use throughout UK and European waterways, including the Thames.

The barge has been thoughtfully designed to make maximum use of space and comfort, for year round living, with all utilities required. The main living area comprises a spacious, open plan, 23ft galley, dining and saloon area, with plenty of windows and LED lighting throughout. The joinery is handmade, using varnished oak and the furnishings of a high quality. There is a large, separate, dedicated, double cabin and the capability for another double berth and a single or three, separate singles.

In summary, this vessel is a stylish floating home and would suit anybody looking for a barge for inland waters, also with seagoing capabilities. It has been designed, built and equipped with quality, self sufficiency and stability in mind and is uniquely attractive.

A comprehensive information manual for this vessel is available on request.
Also available a owners video of the build and launch.
