New Listing – 50′ Luxe Dutch Motor Barge
We are delighted to have been appointed to act in the sale of the 50′ Luxe Dutch Motor Barge ‘RESOLUTE’.
A unique opportunity to acquire a fastidiously maintained and beautifully converted example of a highly desirable Dutch motor barge. RESOLUTE has been much loved by her current owner who has sympathetically converted the boat to create a lovely cosy home on the water. She still retains the original luxury crew cabin aft from which the class name was derived, the perfect hiding place to retire with a good book.
The Luxe Motor is a Dutch type barge, built for the first time in the early 1920’s with ‘luxury’ living quarters in the aft, from-which the name derives. When constructed most Luxe Motor’s were around 60′ to 100′. Many of the shorter ones were modified in the 1950’s to haul more cargo and compete with the falling price of road transport. After their commercial retirement, the Luxe hull became a popular choice for liveaboard or recreational use.
