2010 Luxe-Motor Dutch Barge Replica

This 70-foot steel Dutch barge replica combines traditional design with practical living space. Built in 2010 by Luxe-Motor, the boat features a distinctive black hull and white superstructure with a wooden wheelhouse panelled throughout. A single Gardner engine rated at 98 hp powers the boat to a maximum speed of 9 knots. The design prioritizes natural light and an open feel across all interior spaces.

The layout centers on a bright main saloon with white-painted wooden walls and ceiling, furnished with seating and a dining table. A large wood-burning stove provides heating and cooking capability, paired with a dishwasher and substantial refrigerator. The forward cabin includes a guest bed and ensuite bathroom with shower, toilet, and basin. A second cabin aft offers similar accommodation with its own smaller bathroom.

The wheelhouse serves as the transition point between living areas, finished entirely in wood with classic details and red-and-white upholstered seating. Throughout the interior, the boat features white-painted surfaces offset by wooden trim and traditional styling—including semicircular window shutters and cabinet details. The engine room is accessible and houses the main engine, a generator, battery banks, and water and fuel capacity for extended cruising. All furnishings remain aboard.
