This sleek, teak decked former Dutch Eel Catcher Barge has been converted into a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, floating home, covering 629 SqFt. Entering through the 360 degree wheel house there are stairs to the mezzanine level with a double bedroom. Continuing down the stairs to below decks, is a full bathroom, impressive kitchen with fitted appliances and stone work tops opening into the lounge with large sky lights allowing an abundance of natural light. The master bedroom has the added benefit of an ensuite bathroom.
There is still work to be done to complete this vessel’s transformation into a very comfortable floating home, however the results are already clearly visible to see what a special vessel this will be.
"Dutch eel catcher boat," or eelbarge, was a type of vessel historically used for transporting eels from the Netherlands, especially Friesland, to markets in other countries, notably London. These boats, were designed to carry live eels in special water-filled boxes integrated into the vessel's structure.
