Dutch steel displacement barge with extended steel wheelhouse. Riveted steel (or iron) construction, topsides of similar riveted steel (or iron) construction with lapped seams. Wheel steering. Survey dated 2020 available on request.

Le Petomane is a charismatic Dutch Barge, sympathetically remodeled by her current owner with quality materials and a high standard of finish.

Spray foam lined for comfort and her wheelhouse extended, she now offers spacious, homely accommodation for a couple in a single cabin with a large heads/shower room and two comfortable reception areas.

Great opportunity to acquire a unique floating home with option to transfer existing residential mooring (subject to marina approval).
