Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This Humber Keel Barge benefits from being located on a Residential Mooring in Kent and this would be transferable to new owners subject to approval and contract with the marina operators.
This vessel has quite a history and was owned by the naval cadets in Wandsworth between 1985 and 2003 so you would expect that they had to observe maintaining the vessel. The current owner had a survey when she bought the vessel and is currently looking for it. At that time she was confident to go ahead with the purchase. She has done a lot of work on the vessel but her circumstances have changed so she is selling the barge. There is certainly some tlc that is required as you will see from the photographs but I think this barge is worth the effort.
