Fender151 21 Report post #1 Posted January 3 So having seen the attached advertisement, I am seriously considering putting my luxury craft up for sale. Having done the math, I reckon if I could get £1.5 million for her, I should just about break even, and in companion the mooring fees as a single occupancy for the whole marina would seem very reasonable. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/homeandproperty/britains-biggest-houseboat-boasting-five-bedrooms-sauna-jetski-and-stunning-views-of-tower-bridge-goes-on-sale-for-£35million-plus-£32000-a-year-to-moor-it/ar-BBYyUhN?li=AA64tF&ocid=iehp Just a couple of questions, have any of your folks added a Jacuzzis and Sauna on your boats, I do have 2 * 175 solar panels, thinking I may need to add to the 4 * 110 amp leisure batteries, appreciate any advice and guidance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dreamer 78 Report post #3 Posted January 3 Love that it still appears to have the characteristic, “anyone know where that water is coming from” tarpaulin over the bow deck! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athy 901 Report post #5 Posted January 4 I presume it's an old péniche, and in some ways it's very impressive. But the main living area looks like a restaurant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty40s 2819 Report post #6 Posted January 4 (edited) Location, location , location, this boat has been there for years, prime spot in St Katherine's, near to the historic Dickens Inn and other landmarks. It can be used for functions, conferencing, leisure, you could top end AirbnB it. Will not be on sale for long, probably a Russian/Chinese/Arab buyer. 22 minutes ago, Flyboy said: Pumpout or cassette ?? Its plumbed direct into the main sewers.

Mike the Boilerman 5928 Report post #7 Posted January 4 I found the reason for selling it amusing, it's too far away from the children's skool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machpoint005 2247 Report post #9 Posted January 8 It amuses me that the fuel for the "feature" wood burning stove seems to be bits of old scaffolding planks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year in Kings Marina was a widebeam with a Jacuzzi on the deck. Not sure if it's still here. Expect Alan D'Enfield will know more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldGoat 334 Report post #12 Posted January 8 There's a boat of some description (don't recall what sort of boat) with a hot tub and a wood burning boiler on the Isis end of the Thames (near a pub...) - looks great but I've never seen it used in anger. ' suspect -if it were for sale it would be several orders of magnitude less than the subject boat. It's all abou location, location, location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
