Connemara - £59,000

Connemara is a beautifully preserved 40ft Dutch barge full of personality, charm, and clever design. Believed to date back to the 1950s, this timeless vessel has been thoughtfully modernised, making it a fantastic option for anyone looking to enjoy life on the water, whether for weekend getaways, extended cruising, or compact living.

One of the standout features of this Dutch barge is the large stern deck, perfect for alfresco dining, open-air relaxation, or enjoying sunny afternoons while moored up. It’s a versatile space that makes this boat ideal for entertaining, socialising, or simply watching the world drift by.

Inside, Connemara offers a surprisingly spacious and well-laid-out interior. The open-plan saloon features dinette seating and leads into a compact galley with a Tristar mini oven, hot plates, and fridge - everything you need to enjoy mealtimes aboard.

The forward bedroom is currently configured with two single beds, ideal for solo cruising, guests, or flexible sleeping arrangements.

The bathroom is fitted with a sea-going toilet, sink, and basin, and the boat benefits from modern comforts such as air conditioning, Webasto heating, and hot water throughout. Despite her classic heritage, Connemara offers a comfortable and well-equipped living space that doesn’t compromise on convenience.

Equipped with a VW engine, HBW gearbox, solar power, bow thruster, an efficient heating and power setup, and Mastervolt electrics, Connemara is ready for her next adventure. She is more than capable of supporting life afloat, while retaining the unique style and grace that only a Dutch barge can offer.

Now available to view at Roydon Marina, Connemara is a rare opportunity to own a piece of canal boat heritage that’s full of charm and character, yet modern where it matters.
