Standard barges are available in a range of lengths. We detail below our standard 55ft centre wheelhouse luxemotor barge described here with a few deluxe options including, Beta 7kw generator, isolation transformer, hydraulic bow prop, windlass and Kabola oil stove. We have designed this boat with extended cruising or liveaboard use in mind. She is based on a well designed and constructed hull providing good sea keeping qualities (Category C). Should a larger or smaller boat be desired, with some modification the following equipment specifications will be suitable. Thus the prospective purchaser can choose from a number of different hull designs.

Luxmotor Barges

General

Equipment specification has ease of handling and comfortable cruising in mind with hydraulic bow prop and anchor winch, comprehensive instrumentation and excellent electrical services.

Interior layout provides forward master bedroom and ensuite shower room, galley and saloon. The wheelhouse divides these cabins from the stern double bedroom with ensuite bathroom. This is complimented by our much admired craftsmanship producing a true quality fit out.

Exterior

Deck working areas bow and stern for accessing winch ropes etc. Stern area will also accommodate a couple of chairs for sitting out. Folding sapele wheelhouse with lightweight summer roof (one person can raise or lower in about five minutes) and heavier winter roof. Thus the wheelhouse can quickly be adapted to take full advantage of good weather.
