Vertrouwen II, Vicarage Lane, Port Werburgh, Hoo, Rochester, ME3 9TW

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Vertrouwen II, a charming Dutch Luxemotor barge on a secure residential mooring.

Mechanically sound and full of traditional character, Vertrouwen II offers generous accommodation and an exciting opportunity for interior refurbishment to create a spacious and comfortable floating home.

Built in 1924 and refitted in 2010, Vertrouwen II recently arrived at Port Werburgh under her own power.

Due to a change in the owner’s circumstances, she is now available for sale and represents fantastic value for anyone looking to complete a rewarding refit project.

Structurally sound and mechanically reliable, Vertrouwen II provides a solid foundation to transform into a stunning liveaboard or cruising home.

Vertrouwen II offers impressive interior space with excellent headroom and natural light throughout: Wheelhouse: A bright, spacious area offering panoramic views - ideal for navigation or use as a day lounge when moored.

Aft Cabin: Features a double berth and ample built-in storage, accessible directly from the wheelhouse.

Main Living Area: An open-plan space forward of the wheelhouse, currently housing a basic galley and large saloon, ready for full refurbishment.

Forward Cabin: A second double berth, alongside a wet room with toilet and shower - both requiring modernisation.

Beneath the wheelhouse lies the engine room, which is easily accessible and houses the Scania D8 six-cylinder diesel engine (145hp), providing ample power for reliable cruising across inland waterways.

Externally, Vertrouwen II maintains her traditional Dutch barge lines and offers ample deck space for outdoor seating or dining.

She would benefit from some exterior painting, but structurally she appears to be in very good order.

Once restored, she will combine the timeless elegance of a classic Luxemotor with the comforts of a modern home afloat.

Interior refurbishment (kitchen, bathroom, and general décor) New heating installation External paintwork refresh With these updates completed, Vertrouwen II could easily become a beautiful and spacious family home, ideal for full-time living or leisurely cruising.

The nearby village offers schools, shops, doctor, dentist, chemist, and leisure facilities including a swimming pool.

For commuters: The A2/M2 can be reached in under 10 minutes, giving easy access to London and the Kent coast. Strood Station offers high-speed rail services to London in around 40 minutes.

Close proximity to the River Medway provides excellent sailing facilities and picturesque countryside walks.

Vertrouwen II is a beautifully proportioned traditional Dutch barge offering an exciting renovation project on a secure residential mooring.

With excellent mechanical integrity, classic lines, and a wealth of space to work with, she presents a rare opportunity to create a bespoke floating home full of history and charm.
