SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED – VIEWING STRONGLY RECOMMEMDEDBoat Overview
Nooitgedacht is a classic Dutch Barge houseboat from 1907. Successfully surveyed and her hull newly epoxyed in June 2024, she is ready to move onboard straight away. The boat is offered for sale with the option to take over her highly desirable and rarely available, fully residential mooring at Poplar Marina next to Canary Wharf (mooring fees available on request).

Open plan saloon and galley providing an enormous, light, private, and calm living space.

High quality kitchen fully equipped with great storage and worktop space.

Heating provided by a solid fuel stove in the saloon and a central heating system with unusually powerful, four column radiators throughout.

-
Double bed


-
Lots of storage

Separated from the saloon by sliding doors


Towards the stern is the bathroom, which is exceptionally spacious and features clever lighting solutions.

Design around the curvature of Nooitgedacht’s stern

Owner's Investment
The current owner believes we are merely custodians of such wonderful, classic Dutch Barges. She has invested heavily in commissioning recognized professional marine specialists to upgrade onboard systems and interior, ensuring Nooitgedacht’s new owners enjoy life on board as much as she has.
