60ft x 12ft 6in Dutch Barge £150,000
New Dawn presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire one owner modern Dutch barge. She has been beautifully constructed by Culture boats and Streethay Wharf and fitted out as a well-designed high specification floating apartment. She was painted externally by the owners in 2024 when she was also blacked and had new anodes. With a beautifully light and airy interior, this boat must be seen to be fully appreciated. She is fully equipped with every convenience.
