De Vijf has to us as a part-finished project. The previous owner has made extensive repairs to the hull including painting outside and in. The reconditioned DAF engine is in phenomenal condition and has been painted in resplendent gold.

We are able to carry out the major structural works including raising the roof and installing windows to provide a spacious and light cabin. We have a waiting list at the moment for fabrication work so this will be done in August. Once this has been completed, De Vijf will be sold for £45,000 with a hull survey and BSS. If you’d like to pick her up today without the works, you can buy her for £35,000

De Vijf Gebroeders is an exceptionally beautiful Dutch barge, anyone considering buying a boxy sailaway widebeam, would be well advised to consider how wonderful this vessel is. The boat was built in Sneek, Holland and launched on the 16th December 1909. The hull is in exceptional condition which is due to the quality of the steel, the expertise of the builder and the subsequent maintenance. These barges were built to last and this one will easily be around for another 100 years.
The survey carried out on 11/3/21 is available on the yard for in-person viewing. Whether you buy the boat with the roof extended or as is, the deal includes a working engine, we’ll check the alternator is charging and the steering is properly commissioned so you’ll be able to cruise away immediately. We’ll gladly deliver the boat to Reading, Watford, Shepperton or Stanstead Abbotts free of charge (we just ask that you organise and pay for the craning off). If you’d like the boat delivered to a different location, please get in touch, I’ll give you a quote.
De Vijf Gebroeders is in our dry boatyard and available for inspection. We are open Monday-Saturday by appointment and operate legally under the Covid guidelines. We are an established importer bringing in AT LEAST one Dutch barge every week so a visit to the yard is always worthwhile and our website is updated daily. We accept cash, Amex, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and bank transfers.
If you fancy a chat about this or any of our boats, please feel free to give me a ring.
