1934 Dutch Barge, GBP 205.000

Fowey Belle is a well-presented 21.67m liveaboard Dutch barge offering versatile use as a comfortable holiday home or a full-time residence and access to the main European waterways.

She benefits from a substantial 2010 refurbishment including the DAF 650 diesel engine, gearbox is PRM 750 with hydronic take off (for the bow thruster) with a practical three-cabin layout (6 berths) the main cabin being en-suite with walk-in shower. The lounge area is very comfortable and easily fits a sofa, two chairs, coffee table with fire and TV unit. Kitchen is well appointed with quality appliances and counter tops, plus of course there is a pleasant wheelhouse (collapsible) of around 4 square metres and seating for 4 people.
Onboard systems are set up for extended cruising and year-round living, including oil-fired central heating, air conditioning, spray-foam insulation, pressurised hot/cold water, water filter system, generator, inverter/isolated transformer, AIS, VHF, depth sounder, solar panels and tank level monitoring. Beds and Sofas all included in the sale.

Ideally located at Eeklo with excellent inland waterway access, the vessel is well positioned for cruising into the Netherlands and France (good connections within 10 miles).
Bruges and Ghent are easily accessible. The existing mooring at the yacht club is transferable to a new owner and is a key advantage: peaceful, secure and comes with car parking spaces included. A 2020 out-of-water survey report is available to serious buyers, and the vessel holds a Dutch commercial survey certificate (valid until 2028), supporting buyer confidence and ongoing compliance.
