Dutch Barge Tjalk 20.73
Vision Doeve Brokers
This former cargo ship has been given a second life as a charming and comfortable live aboard, where authentic maritime character and modern living comfort blend seamlessly. Step aboard this beautiful Frisian Tjalk, a historic inland vessel built in 1922 by the renowned Shipyard Wolthuis in NL-Sappemeer. Located in the vibrant heart of Rotterdam, this ship offers not only an unique living experience on the water but also, after consultation and approval by the harbormaster, the opportunity to take over a sought-after mooring in the city center. In the forepeak, there is a cozy sleeping area with a single bed, which in our opinion, could be converted into a double bed. Through the laundry room, with washing machine and dryer, you enter the spacious salon. Here, you will find a comfortable double bed, storage space and the galley. The bathroom is surprisingly complete, featuring a bathtub/shower, toilet and sink. At the rear of the ship, you will find the charming aft cabin, furnished with a desk, an additional sleeping space and access to the engine room. This ship has been well maintained and is certified until September 2029, ensuring you can enjoy life on the water with peace of mind. Are you looking for an unique live aboard/houseboat with character and a prime location in Rotterdam? Then this Frisian Tjalk might be your perfect home on the water.
