G.J. REEVES Dutch Syle Barge for sale in Ely Cambridgeshire United Kingdom

'Jasper' is a purpose built, bespoke Dutch style barge.

Description

Jasper is a well maintained and beautifully presented unique Dutch style barge. Built in 2007 by reputable fabricator Reeves and fitted out to a high standard by award winning Sabre.
Jasper has been designed as both a comfortable home as well as a practical, stylish cruising vessel.
Interior space has been used to provide optimum storage, an important consideration when living on board. On the exterior, whilst boasting exquisite lines, safety has also been at the forefront with wide gunwales and integral safety ladders in the hull.
Whilst primarily used on the Cambridgeshire waterways, Jasper with her vee chines has been cruised across The Wash, showing her usability subject to conditions and skipper experience.
If the current location of Jasper is not suitable for you, she could be re-located by road via specialist boat hauliers, and being 3.48m wide she will not require an escort vehicle, keeping costs to a minimum.
All viewings are by prior appointment, so please contact us to make arrangements. ASKING PRICE REDUCED TO OFFERS OVER £125,000
