Dutch Barge 13.65
Vision Doeve Brokers
Former inland cargo vessel which, as far as known, mainly operated in and around the Biesbosch area, the Netherlands, before being converted into a comfortable liveaboard Dutch Barge. Both the current and previous owners have always maintained the vessel to a high standard and continuously improved her with great care and attention. The present owner has been in possession of the vessel since 1998 and has carried out numerous upgrades and modernizations over the years. Most windows have been fitted with double glazing, a Whisper generator has been installed, and both the underwatership and the freeboard have been sandblasted. In addition, a substantial part of the interior has been renewed and modernized, resulting in a warm, comfortable and well-presented accommodation. As a result, the vessel is fully ready to cruise and ideally suited for extended voyages throughout the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium or France. Thanks to the inside and outside steering positions, comfortable navigation is possible under virtually all-weather conditions. The spacious aft deck, extending across the full beam of the vessel, not only provides generous outdoor living space but also creates an exceptionally spacious owner’s cabin in the aft ship. A characterful and exceptionally well-maintained vessel, ready to embark on new adventures on the water immediately.
