Description

Great opportunity to own this Paul Barber replica Luxe motor, the boat has two double bedrooms, lots of storage space and a unique panelled interior giving the boat a real “Dutch Barge” feel.

Bruin was one of the barges used in the T.V. series “His Dark Materials” by Phillip Pullman (author).

The boat has been sympathetically updated by the current owners, including new carpets throughout new multi fuel stove and double skin chimney. Both bedrooms have been stripped out and the saloon and galley area have been upgraded.

There is lots of scope for the new owners to carry on updating and stamp their own identity on the boat.

Bruin had a full survey and blacking in June 2025.

Viewing is highly recommended.
