Being sold as is is ready be

1934 Katwijker Barge, an ideal liveaboard project lying in heart of the idyllic South of France. Being sold due to change in circumstances, she is being sold as is and is ready to be converted into perfect home on the water. She has a spacious saloon with stairs leading to an open roof terrace where you could dine alfresco, while taking in the views of river. She has two double berth sized cabins both with space for ensuite bathrooms and working engine. She is currently lying on the Canal du Midi, France ready for viewing.

A classic Princess 20 Metre from 2000. This boat was 15 years in its previous ownership and maintained to a very high standard. The interior is all original and shows little signs of wear and in extremely good condition. During 2018-2019 this vessel has been ashore and had the whole of the top side professionally repainted to an extremely high standard. The hull band is original and in extremely good condition, not needing painting or repair. The top side repairs were due to sun damage and overcleaning but now presents better that new. The teak side decks and platform have been removed and replaced with 9mm Burmese teak, not the quick turn farmed teak which tends to be soft. During this time, the two deck cranes have new motors, dyneema lines and have been fully refurbished. Notwithstanding this there have been lots of electrical items replaced and all systems checked and put back into working order, including 15 new batteries and two battery chargers. Engines and generator have been fully serviced and new Strong shaft seals fitted. 50 meters of new anchor chain calibrated and stainless bow protectors. On the outside the boat benefits from all new sunbrella upholstery to helm seats, bow cushions and flybridge seating. Not to mention a new Bimini and aft closing kit.  This vessel is in first class order and I believe the best 20 metre afloat today. It has all the cut glass, Villroy and Boch crockery and Princess cutlery, bedding for each cabin and matching quilt covers, plus all the other usual benefits of a boat in this class. Virtually turn key and ready to go for the season.   This is a very solid well built family cruiser, ready to go for a fraction of what it might cost today for a new equivalent. I believe that if you are genuinely looking for this sort of boat, the first to see would buy. There has been in excess of 150,000.00 euros spent on her in the last 18 months and it is being sold due to a change in circumstances. The asking price of £375,000.00 is a lot less than the boat owes me and the hassle and cost of the work undertaken must not be underestimated in time and lack of use of your vessel, which has now covered a mere 1050 hours. A berth in Alcudia may also be available to anyone purchasing this vessel.
