Dutch Barge 14.88 No longer available
Vision Doeve Brokers
A former freighter from 1912 that has been converted into a cruising liveaboard. With her length of just under 15 meters and a modest draft of approximately 0.80 meters, she is ideally suited for cruising European inland waterways. The exterior is in need of maintenance. This is already taken into account with the asking price . The interior has a practical layout. The bathroom is located forward, followed by the cabin with a double berth, toilet, saloon, galley, wheelhouse, and finally the engine room. On chilly days, the four radiators ensure a pleasant stay on board. The solar panels and diesel generator make her suitable for long-term stays or perhaps even permanent residence. Propulsion is provided by an 84 hp diesel engine from 2009 with only approximately 630 operating hours. An electric bow thruster is also included. In short, this liveaboard offers a unique opportunity for recreational activities or extended stays on the water at an attractive price.
