Motortjalk 19.95, ES-TRIN certified
Vision Doeve Brokers
This spacious and certified Dutch Barge is a wide Tjalk with a robust appearance. In the past, the vessel was shortened and extensive steelwork was carried out. Subsequently, the conversion and installation of the technical systems were started. The current owner completed the fit-out and has enjoyed the vessel for many years, but now offers her for sale due to changed circumstances. Thanks to the powerful and reliable Perkins Sabre main engine, the vessel offers excellent sailing characteristics. The bow thruster provides additional maneuverability. The electrical installation allows extended independent living on board without reliance on shore power. Combined with the efficient heating system and double glazing, the vessel offers a comfortable living environment, also during colder seasons. The layout is spacious with four cabins, each fitted with a private bathroom/toilet. Furthermore, the vessel features a saloon with open galley. The true eye-catcher on board is the spacious wheelhouse with fixed seating, offering magnificent panoramic views all around. In our opinion, an excellent opportunity to acquire a recently certified Dutch Barge Houseboat combining comfort, space and fine sailing qualities.
