| Luxemotor with 44 year Mooring Licence
£265,000 |
 |
Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Alma — an exceptionally well-maintained and fully operational Luxemotor, offered with a 44-year residential mooring licence. This impressive vessel combines traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort, creating an ideal long-term floating home and cruising opportunity.
Finished throughout in oak and ash, Alma has been beautifully fitted out to a high standard, offering spacious and versatile accommodation.
Accommodation
Guest double cabin with en suite toilet
Large wheelhouse / summer lounge with excellent natural light and views
Well-appointed kitchen with ample storage and workspace
Separate utility area for convenience
Comfortable saloon ideal for relaxing or entertaining
Second double bedroom
Modern shower room with toilet and basin
Throughout the vessel you’ll find built-in storage, diesel-fired central heating, and secondary double glazing to all windows, ensuring comfort all year round.
Equipment & Condition
Alma is fully operational and ready for extended cruising, complete with navigation equipment, generator, and tender — allowing you to anchor offshore with ease.
She was dry-docked in May/June 2016, where a full survey (available on viewing) found her to be in excellent condition. At that time, the hull was repainted and new anodes fitted.
The vessel is powered by a DAF 6-cylinder, 100hp diesel engine, providing reliable performance on both tidal and non-tidal waterways.
Residential Mooring
Alma benefits from a 44-year residential mooring lease. Instead of standard mooring fees (typically £1.75 per foot per week), a maintenance charge of only £70 per week applies — representing substantial savings over time for this 90ft mooring, especially as mooring rates continue to rise.
This secure, long-term mooring offers peace of mind and excellent value, with your berth always available whenever you choose to cruise.
Location
Situated in a popular and well-connected village, the mooring offers both convenience and community. Within walking distance are a general store, restaurant/diner, and bus terminus serving nearby areas. The village also features schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, local shops, and a swimming pool and leisure centre.
For commuters, the A2/M2 is less than ten minutes away, offering quick access to London or the coast, while Strood Station provides high-speed rail links to London in around 40 minutes. The area is also close to the River Medway, with sailing facilities and beautiful countryside walks nearby. |

| Residential Beautiful Dutch Barge to Convert
£89,995 |
 |
Premier Houseboats are delighted to present The Spirit of Loch Ness, a beautiful and historic Dutch barge offering a rare opportunity to create a bespoke floating home or cruising vessel.
This impressive barge has been completely stripped and prepared for conversion, providing a blank canvas for a spacious and stylish home afloat.
The Spirit of Loch Ness was dry-docked in 2017, where she was blasted back to bare metal, had a new bottom professionally fitted, and was painted inside and out.
A new wheelhouse was also installed at this time, providing an elevated space with panoramic views – perfect for navigation or use as a relaxing day lounge.
Structurally sound and well maintained, the vessel is now ready for a full interior fit-out, allowing the next owner to design the living spaces to their own taste and requirements.
The interior offers exceptional volume and headroom throughout, with ample space to create:
Three generous double bedrooms
A family bathroom and an ensuite
A spacious kitchen and open-plan lounge
Alternatively, the layout can be adapted to suit a liveaboard family, rental accommodation, or boutique cruising vessel.
While the main interior awaits conversion, the aft crew quarters are already fitted out and fully usable, featuring:
A built-in double berth
Seating area
Compact galley
Toilet cubicle (easily adaptable into a wet room)
These quarters are ideal for use during the conversion process or could later serve as a self-contained guest suite or studio flat.
Powered by a Daimler Benz M204B 120hp diesel engine, The Spirit of Loch Ness last cruised under her own power to the River Medway in 2017.
While the engine will require servicing before use, it remains in situ and complete.
Her classic Dutch barge hull—built in 1930 and refitted in 2017—is flat-bottomed steel, designed for both stability and interior space.
A flat roof conversion could easily be added to create an extensive upper deck or sun terrace with panoramic views, without compromising internal headroom.
With a fascinating past as a working barge, residential houseboat, and even a floating hotel on Loch Ness, this vessel offers a blend of heritage, quality, and limitless potential.
It’s rare to find a barge of this size and condition, already structurally renewed, and ready for a complete interior transformation.
The Spirit of Loch Ness presents an exceptional chance to design and build your own floating home on a strong, fully prepared platform.
Moored in a desirable and well-connected location with excellent road and rail links, this vessel combines tranquillity with accessibility.
The Spirit of Loch Ness is an extraordinary opportunity to create a custom-designed floating home within the classic lines of a Dutch barge.
With her renewed structure, ample interior space, and strong mechanical foundations, she is perfectly positioned to become a luxurious residence or cruising vessel in a sought-after mooring location. |

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present La Petite II, a spacious Luxe motor, in need of some internal updating, some engine maintenance and an external paint, offering superb accommodation and now on a secure residential mooring
La Petite II offers three good sized bedrooms, a family bathroom a good sized kitchen/lounge area and a lovely wheelhouse that can be a day lounge as well as a navigation point.
The aft cabin has a separate toilet cubicle with hand basin which could easily be turned into a wet room. There is hard wood flooring throughout, plenty of windows offering lots of light, and good headroom.
The kitchen has lots of storage and work surface, however the cooker and hob will need to be changed from the current electric to LPG. You would also need to fit a new gas combi boiler to run the central heating, all radiators are already in place.
The wheelhouse is an excellent size and would be a lovely place to enjoy the day with panoramic views of your surroundings wherever you find yourself. There is a deck area aft and another forward, and if more outside space is required you could utilise the roof of the main structure to create a good sized terrace.
La Petite II came down from Penton Hook marina and cruised beautifully most of the way. However she needed to be towed for the last part of the journey due to problems with starter motor and flywheel. It is also thought that new engine mounts will be needed.
There is a survey available from when she was last docked in 2019.
This is an incredible opportunity to own a family sized Dutch barge on a secure residential mooring, and with some work La Petite II could again be a wonderful family home, either as a static or cruising home. |

The Lister HRW6M diesel engine, showing under 3,000 hours, is in running order and would require a full service prior to any extended cruising.
This Humber Keel offers the perfect blend of comfortable static living and potential mobility, making her an ideal choice for anyone seeking a characterful and practical home afloat.
Located within walking distance of local amenities including a general store and restaurant/diner, the mooring sits in a popular village community offering everything needed for convenient everyday living:

Velaire offers a bright and versatile interior, with well-proportioned rooms throughout.
The aft cabin provides a good-sized double berth, while the large saloon benefits from excellent headroom and abundant natural light, creating a spacious and welcoming living area.
The galley is well equipped, featuring a gas oven and hob, fridge, and washing machine, together with ample worktop and storage space. A wet room and a second double cabin complete the lower accommodation, making Velaire a practical and comfortable liveaboard.

The mooring is situated within walking distance of a general store and restaurant/diner, with excellent local transport links and amenities nearby.

Schools for all ages
Doctors, dentist, chemist, and shops
Restaurants, takeaways, swimming pool, and leisure centre
