This 48x10ft Dutch Barge is the very picture of beautiful, waterside living. At 8ft6 airdraft, she would be better suited to a marina as you will struggle with getting through bridges on a continuous cruising licence, but this fact has heavily impacted the price as you can see.
Well equipped for life aboard, you’ll find a fully fitted kitchen with 4 burner hob and a decent sized fridge. A massive flat screen TV emerges from the practical and beautiful breakfast bar and the large wood and coal burning stove will keep you toasty warm in winter.
There is a walk-in shower and pump out toilet and generous bed in the rear cabin.
Head height in the wheelhouse is an impressive 6ft4 and in the main cabin it’s 6ft2.
Power comes from a four cylinder Perkins 4108 engine in excellent running order. We have inspected the hull and it is in good condition, we have applied blacking and new anodes
We do not have old surveys for this boat, we are increasingly finding that other people’s surveys are a bit like Trip Advisor reviews; often fake or uselessly out of date, so here at Hemel Marina, we will lift the boat for free for your surveyor to carry out an inspection. If there is any underwater welding work that needs to be done as a result of your survey, in almost every case we will take care of it within the asking price. We have found this is the fairest and most reliable way of delivering a boat with a sound hull rather than you taking a chance with someone else’s dodgy survey. All the details will be confirmed in writing before we proceed.
There is no existing BSS but we can add one (for a fee). There is no mooring offered with this boat, hard standing may be possible (subject to availability). You can cruise the boat away from us, we are on the Grand Union Canal, around three days cruise to Central London, five days to Birmingham or four days to The Thames.
We can deliver anywhere in the UK by road (for a fee) and the boat is here (along with many others) at Hemel Marina, HP1 2RZ. We are open for viewings Tuesday-Friday 9-5 and Saturdays 9-3. Message me for a walk-through video.
