Description
Japio is a smart Dutch Barge ready to move onboard immediately with a fully transferable, residential mooring at Poplar Marina, Canary Wharf. Well maintained and last blacked in 2023 with recent exterior paintwork.
Her master double cabin is in the stern of the boat and has a very cool projector and screen for film nights. The wheelhouse gives super marina views and is easily large enough to accommodate a desk and chairs for those working from home. Forward is the main living area comprising of the saloon and fully equipped galley. In the bow of the boat is the shower/wc with cassette toilet and even a plumbed in washing machine.
Her beam and design give excellent outdoor deck space and viewing is highly recommended.
