Luke Gaff Dutch Barge Sudersee

Introducing Sudersee

Sudersee is a classic 1923 Beurtschip Dutch Barge that exudes an abundance of charm and character. She was once described as "possibly the most beautifully designed Dutch barge on the Thames".

Specifications

With an overall length of 19.23 meters, this steel-hulled vessel is designed for economical displacement speed cruising, ensuring a stable and comfortable ride on the water.

Engine and Performance

Powered by a well-maintained DAF 615 Turbo diesel inboard engine, delivering 125 horsepower, Sudersee allows for predictable performance for your cruising adventures. The fitted bow thruster aids mooring and navigation through the locks.

Accommodation

Her thoughtful layout includes two cabins and two heads, providing ample accommodation for relaxation and comfort during your journeys or as a permanent live aboard. This barge is not just about functionality; it embodies the spirit of classic boating with its timeless design and sturdy construction. Whether you're exploring serene waterways or enjoying leisurely weekends, Sudersee is ready to create unforgettable memories on the water. Embrace the allure of classic boating with this remarkable vessel.

Note

The beautiful 'Sudersee' comes complete with her own book, "100 Years In The Life Of A Dutch Barge", which charts her history from when she was built in Sliedrecht, Holland during 1923 to (almost) the present day! We hold a copy of this book, which is both informative and fascinating. It includes decades worth of research, which has been carefully curated along with many pictures and archive documents. Quite possibly a unique level of detail for this historic Dutch barge.
