Classic Dutch Barge 12 persons
Vision Doeve Brokers
Former executive vessel, commissioned by the Rotterdamsche Lloyd and built at the renowned Amsterdamsche Shipyard G. de Vries Lentsch Jr. under the name ‘Batavia’. She subsequently served as ‘De Maze’ for the Port of Rotterdam and the Rotterdam drinking water utility. Later, the vessel was converted into a salon boat, suitable for cruising with up to 12 guests. The open cockpit and the salon provide ample space for accommodating a group. In front of the wheelhouse is a stairway leading to the toilet and the fore cabin, which currently is in use as storage but can relatively easily be converted into sleeping accommodation. This is not an ordinary tour boat. The vessel is particularly well suited for customized cruises, such as private cruises, corporate receptions, cultural programs and themed cruises through both the historic and modern harbor areas of Rotterdam. She is currently being used in this capacity. The seller has a permit to cruise with a maximum of 12 guests and to moor in specific areas of the Port of Rotterdam, a valuable and not-to-be-given privilege.
