Broker's Comments

**Update: The owner would be interested in opportunities to part-exchange for a small sized vessel.**

This spacious barge offers exceptional living quarters featuring two cabins and a generously sized open saloon. The aft cabin, with an ensuite lends itself well to being offered as an B&B, which can significantly help with mooring fees. The wheelhouse provides comfortable seating, creating a versatile space to enjoy the uninterrupted views across the basin.

The main bathroom boasts a unique, seventies-inspired design that skillfully incorporates the innovative 'new' GRP material. An en-suite secondary bathroom is conveniently located adjacent to the aft cabin, with an electric flushing loo (and holding tank).

The well-designed galley provides ample storage, and the presence of a range-style cooker and expansive work surfaces make meal preparation a delightful experience.

In 2020, the barge underwent a comprehensive inspection and necessary maintenance, including the application of epoxy coating to the hull. This ensures her structural integrity for at least another six years before requiring further inspection and maintenance.

While compliance with the Boat Safety Scheme standard is not currently mandatory in her current location, the vessel does have a BSS certificate which expires in October 2027.

The mooring in Blackwall Basin offers easy access to all the amenities Canary Wharf has to offer, just a short walk away. There will be an option to bid on the available moorings within the marina should the next owner wish to keep the vessel in her present location. As a reference point, the current annual mooring fees are approximately £18,360.
