Klipper Klipper 39,12 met UBC for sale (1898) in Leeuwarden, Netherlands

The Albatros was built in 1898 as a tow barge for freight transport between Rotterdam and Antwerp. In the 1960s, the ship was taken out of service and converted into a houseboat. In 1992, it was restored and transformed into a successful sailing passenger ship. During the current certification, a decision was made to convert the certification to recreational use. This means that she can now be used commercially for up to 12 guests. Of course, she is also a vessel that can be excellently used as a permanent residence or as an accommodation ship. She is equipped with a young CCRII Doosan engine, silent generator, central heating system, hydraulic bow thruster, 3 separate steel masts, spacious salon, generous bar, toilets and showers, 9 guest cabins with a total of 24 beds and a large aft cabin for the owner or crew. In our opinion, this is an interesting vessel for small-scale charter, as a hotel or restaurant and potentially also as a sailing houseboat. The 3 steel masts can be installed by the seller at the destination for additional costs.
