Luxe Motor 16.20 Deckhouse
Vision Doeve Brokers
Former inland cargo vessel that has been shortened, after which the hull was completely rebuilt into a cruising liveaboard Dutch Barge. Thanks to her beam there is ample interior volume. The deckhouse with integrated wheelhouse offers excellent all-round visibility and a comfortable cruising experience. The generous windows, combined with the aft and side doors, all fitted with insulated double glazing, create a bright and open living environment with a direct connection between the interior and exterior spaces. Due to her dimensions, the vessel is not subject to ES-TRIN certification requirements, while the air draft of approximately 2.95 metres provides access to an extensive cruising area. The interior has been professionally fitted out with great attention to detail, using high-quality materials. The accommodation features an owner’s cabin with a French bed, a spacious bathroom with shower cabin and washbasin, a separate toilet room, a practical storage area in the forepeak, a galley and a spacious salon. The salon accommodates the inside steering position, a comfortable dinette and a generous settee. The aft deck provides ample outdoor space and is a pleasant place to enjoy the surroundings. The vessel is in a good state of maintenance and has been preserved with a 2-component paint system, contributing to long-lasting protection and a well-kept appearance.
