Luxe Motor Dutch Barge 26.25 with ES-TRIN
Vision Doeve Brokers
This liveaboard Dutch Barge has been completely refitted and redecorated by the current owner. The layout has been designed to offer excellent comfort for permanent residence on board, while also being ideally suited for bed & breakfast operations or cruising with guests on the European inland waterways, particularly in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The vendor has successfully operated this concept for many years, even cruising as far as the Canal du Midi in the south of France. The vessel is equipped with, among other things, a spud pole, a Whisper generator set, a reliable main engine and an electrically driven bow thruster, making maneuvering in harbors and locks easy and precise. For guests, there are two cabins available, each with a private en-suite bathroom. The owner’s cabin, also equipped with an en-suite bathroom, is located in the aft cabin. Additionally, there is a spacious storage area that could be converted into an extra cabin if desired. Behind the generous wheelhouse, a comfortable aft deck seating area has been created. In November 2024, the vessel was re-certified, resulting in a renewed certificate valid until November 2031.
