Vision Doeve Brokers

Former inland cargo ship that has been converted into a cruising liveaboard Dutch Barge. She has a very large sailing area due to her low air draft of approximately 2,75 m and her shallow draft of only approximately 50 cm. The aft deck with steering position offers enough space to sit outside comfortably. The layout from bow to stern is as follows: cabin with 1 berth, salon with floor heating, galley, bathroom, wheelhouse with steering position and aft cabin with a double bed. The vessel has overdue maintenance and the asking price is based on that.
