Former inland cargo ship that has been completely refurbished into a live aboard barge, with optimized use of the habitable area. The ship is equipped with a 360 degree rotating bow thruster. The low air draft of approximately 2.70 m means a large sailing area. The open cockpit makes sailing pleasant and in contact with nature. There is some overdue maintenance, but the ship is ready for a new owner who can restore her to her former glory. The layout from the front to the back is as follows: a guest cabin with a double bed in the front, another guest cabin with a double bed and a toiletarea. From the owner's cabin with double bed you will come into the galley. Opposite there is a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Then the salon with a large sofa and through the door you will enter the cockpit. The ship is very suitable for French and other European inland waterways.
