Broker's Comments

We've found a way to combine a love of good wine and cruising without it costing you a fortune. On the contrary it could earn you one! This specially converted Luxemotor barge has a fully insulated hold with temperature control from 5° to 20°. Full European transport licence including Rhine Patent and an "ERP" licence which permits up to 80 persons on deck and 20 below whilst moored. This allows the boat to be used for wine tasting and publicity events "en route" providing an excellent communications facility for both the barge transport business and their vigneron clients. Sold with existing clientele and huge scope for expansion this is a fun convivial business which doesn't need the 24/7 attention of a hotel barge. Private accommodation includes self contained boatmans cabin aft and double guest cabin forward of the wheelhouse. Our vendors are happy to provide any training and handover help necessary. For more information and appointments to view, please contact Graham WHARMBY your Boatshed broker at Boatshed Midi Canals.
