Description

Josephine is a category C rated stunning replica Dutch Barge and was launched in February 2012. She has been kept on the non-tidal Thames with one owner from new. Built by Aqualine with many manufacturer upgrades/additions, such as a 150hp Beta/Iveco Engine, a Kohler 7KVA generator, Lewmar rear thruster, Kabola central heating boiler, Mastervolt isolation transformer, black tank divert valves and split heating/engine fuel tanks. She also boasts a Raymarine chart plotter. With double glazed windows throughout, this boat combines traditional charm with modern comforts including ample storage, large hanging wardrobes plus plenty of additional cupboards.

Measuring 65ft x 12.5ft Josephine is built from high-quality steel ensuring durability and longevity. Much loved and desired, she is a stunning example of craftsmanship with a beautiful profile and lovely detailing. She also boasts a spacious stern deck to relax on summer evenings on the river.

The ample living space is decorated with handcrafted woodwork, providing both style and comfort. With a spacious kitchen, two bedrooms with two en-suite bathrooms and a large living area, Josephine is designed for comfortable, enjoyable cruising and liveaboard boat life.
The living space is optimised for relaxation with large windows and a pigeon box, creating bright, airy surroundings with a good air flow. The well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher and granite worktops, making entertaining and cooking a pleasure.
The large wheelhouse benefits from an extendable table and seating area, perfect to use as an additional living space which is also heated to ensure comfort all year round.

She has been meticulously maintained, ensuring a hassle-free experience for the next owner. With wide gunwales and a very responsive hull, she can easily be navigated by one person.

Currently located on the Thames in Oxfordshire on a breathtaking mooring with monthly fees which could be transferred to the new owner with the agreement of the moorings management.
