The wheelhouse is heated by a KALORI Compact D4 /12V blown air system providing blown warm air heating, windscreen de-misting and even a nice cool breeze in summer! The washing machine is also in the wheelhouse to starboard. Under the floor is the engine bay. Huge headroom in the wheelhouse of 2.05m.
Forward from the wheelhouse and down a few steps we enter the galley-saloon area. Headroom here is 1.96m and large opening (removable even) windows make it bright and cosy. The wood panels are panted in pastel colours to bring a softness to the lighting with no feeling of darkness or enclosure inside.

Broker's Comments

Widebeam live aboard barge for sale in the south of France. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this very well-thought-out and executed residential barge for sale.

Ordered as a sail-away by our vendors they designed and built the interior under the supervision of a renowned barge surveyor. Practical (access panels to junction boxes and pipe work), comfortable and convivial with its unusual wheelhouse saloon opening right onto the aft deck this is a great option for anyone fed up of spending their time standing on their own at the back of a boat!

I loved the traditional anchor winch grafted onto the foredeck. The practical and spacious kitchen and the fact that there is no gas onboard.

If you are looking for a well documented, well looked after, comfortable cruising home with go anywhere dimensions I cannot recommend this 19m widebeam highly enough.

For more information and appointments to view, please contact Graham, your local broker at Boatshed Midi Canals.
