Severn Trader is a classic houseboat, built to a traditional Dutch model with contemporary techniques and a very large portion of individual character. Functionality and romance go hand in hand. This ship is a gem for those who dream of long romantic trips along British or European canals. The Severn is the longest river in the United Kingdom. It is an important shipping route, known for its strong tides. It flows from Wales all the way to the Bristol Channel.

This houseboat was built on behalf of her first and current owner. It is a compact boat with tremendous light and space on board. Her exterior is sturdy with sturdy rails and a sharp contract between the black sturdy hull and her white superstructure. The wooden wheelhouse refers to the glory years of shipping. It is completely panelled with wood. You become calm here because of her simplicity and harmony. There are two sofas with classic red and white upholstery. Through the wheelhouse you go to the living space in the front or to the guest cabin in the back. The living space is very bright. All wooden walls and ceiling are painted white. You will find romantic details everywhere, such as the semicircular shutters on the ship's windows. The eye-catcher in the kitchen is the large stove. With this you can cook and with this you give heat to the radiators. The kitchen has a dishwasher and large refrigerator. In the living area you have a sitting area with two sofas and a cozy dining table. The furniture stays on board so you can keep the same atmosphere as a second owner. One corner is tiled and there is a white stove there. There is also a small desk. In the tip is a guest cabin with centrally placed bed. Again, the walls and ceilings are nicely painted white, combined with a wooden back wall and tablets on the many cabinets. This room has a private bathroom with shower, toilet and hand basin. In the same romantic style, of course. The cabin in the back is also a gem. Here you will find the same vacation atmosphere. This bathroom is slightly smaller, with still a toilet, sink and shower. Next to the stairs to the wheelhouse you will find access to the engine room. Reliable engine, strong generator, a solid pack of batteries and plenty of water and fuel.
