Spits Live Aboard with Rhine certificate
Vision Doeve Brokers
Former inland cargo ship specially built for the French canals. The ship was subsequently converted into a Sailing Live Aboard barge. The current owners bought her more than 10 years ago and have thoroughly overhauled the ship, including new and modern sanitary facilities, a spacious quality kitchen, and a more spacious wheelhouse with a hydraulic aluminum lowerable top. The original skipper's cabin has remained largely intact and is beautiful. The barge is very spacious with an accommodation for the skipper or sailor in the forecastle. In the converted old ship's hold there are 2 guest cabins with en-suite bathrooms, the kitchen and a spacious salon (dining room and living room) from where you can go to the wheelhouse. From the wheelhouse you enter the aft owners cabin with en-suite bathroom. The deck is very spacious, including a bimini that can be lowered remotely and a car crane. In our view, this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a ship with these capabilities, equipment and quality.
