Description

Introducing “De Donkere Dogg,” a beautifully crafted Dutch Barge that brings the charm of the Netherlands to the waterways. At an impressive length of 62ft 6′ and a width of 12ft 7′, this barge is not just a vessel—it’s a floating home designed for comfort, convenience, and adventure.

Powered by a Ford long stroke engine with 115hp ensuring smooth sailing on your waterway journeys. With hot water supplied by a Morco gas boiler and warmth provided by a solid fuel stove in the saloon, creating a cozy atmosphere for those chilly evenings.

The electrical setup features a 12v system, 240v, an Inverter, 1 starter and 5 leisure batteries for ample energy storage, and 2 large solar panels. This setup ensures that you’re well-equipped for both short jaunts and long voyages.

Step inside, starting at the bow, and you’ll find a welcoming saloon with a headroom of approximately 5ft 7′, leading seamlessly into the galley. Offering a Belling cooker and hob, a hood for ventilation, and a full-size Zanussi fridge/freezer.

The bedroom features a fixed double bed and generous storage options, ensuring a comfortable and clutter-free living space. The bathroom is equipped with a shower over the bath, a vanity basin, and a pump-out toilet (which requires some attention), alongside a spare cassette toilet.

A spacious storage cupboard and a Meile Novotronic washing machine precede the wheelhouse, adding to the practicality and livability of this remarkable vessel.

“De Donkere Dogg” comes with a Boat Safety Certificate valid until June 2025. Though blacking is due within the next 6 months, this vessel has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, making it a standout choice for those seeking a unique living or cruising experience.

For those interested in mooring, there’s a potential opportunity in the Bristol/Bath area, subject to terms and conditions.

“De Donkere Dogg” is more than just a barge—it’s a lifestyle, offering the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and sustainability.
