BEAVER - £25,000

⚓ Beaver II — Dutch-Built Tug | Unique Residential Project with Character and Potential

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Beaver II, a Dutch-built tug on a secure residential mooring, offering an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke floating home full of character and charm.

Currently without an engine and ready for refurbishment, Beaver II provides a solid base for either a full refit or a creative renovation that retains her original features.

​

🏡 Accommodation & Layout

Beaver II offers surprisingly spacious accommodation for her size, with scope to design a layout that balances comfort and practicality.

Space for two good-sized double cabins

Room for a wet room, galley, and saloon

Wheelhouse that could be used as a day lounge or office area

Original fittings and details offering plenty of potential for a traditional or characterful interior design

Some plumbing and wiring are already in place, but the boat would benefit from a complete rewire and replumb during refurbishment.

Externally, there is a good amount of deck space available to enjoy outdoor living when weather permits.

​

⚙️ Conversion Potential

With her classic lines and solid steel construction, Beaver II presents a rare opportunity to create a distinctive home afloat — whether you prefer a fully modern finish or wish to retain and restore her original heritage charm.
