Meet G1: a truly striking 56ft Dutch Barge, built by Westlander and beautifully refitted to make the absolute most of her generous beam. Stepping aboard, you’re immediately struck by the wonderful sense of space — an open-plan saloon and galley create a light, welcoming heart of the home, designed for relaxing, entertaining, and settling right in. With large windows, a skylight, and charming portholes, natural light floods the interior, giving her an airy, spacious feel that feels both grand and incredibly homely all at once. At 9ft 4in wide, she offers a lifestyle that’s wonderfully roomy and comfortable — a genuine standout compared to narrower vessels.

Power comes from a robust Mercedes V6 six-cylinder diesel engine paired with a Paragon P24L gearbox — dependable, smooth, and built for steady cruising whether you’re exploring the inland waterways or venturing further afield. Practical peace of mind comes courtesy of a full survey completed in 2018 and blacking carried out the same year, while her Boat Safety Certificate remains valid until 2030. She carries a generous 100 gallons of fuel and approximately 1,300 litres of water, meaning you can enjoy extended trips without constant refuelling or resupplying stops.

Inside, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to sleep three comfortably — a fixed double bedroom plus a single berth created from the saloon sofa, making her equally perfect as a couple’s floating home or for a small family. The galley is well-appointed and ready for everyday living, while the bathroom features a pump-out toilet & separate shower to keep everything fresh and practical year-round. Solid wood flooring throughout adds warmth and a quality finish that really sets her apart.

Keeping everything comfortable and independent is easy aboard G1: heating is handled by a Refleks diesel marine-grade system, and electrical needs are well covered with both 12v and 240v circuits, supported by a 3,000W inverter, an ultra-silent generator, and 435W of solar panels — ideal for off-grid cruising. Additional highlights include a wheelhouse for added visibility and ease when navigating. Moored in London and ready to view now, G1 is a rare find — a classic barge with character, space, and practicality all wrapped into one beautiful package.
