Introducing the charming 1926 Dutch Barge, "Alpha Wilja," a characterful example of a heritage Luxemotor with an overall length of 24 meters. Originally built from durable steel for commercial purposes, this displacement hull vessel allows for stability and strength on the water. Powered by a Gardner 5LX inboard diesel engine, generating 80 horsepower, she has the required design characteristics for smooth and efficient cruising. The interior of "Alpha Wilja" is thoughtfully designed, featuring three generous double cabins and two well-appointed heads, providing ample space for relaxation and comfort whilst cruising. This barge would also be perfect for those seeking a unique living experience on the water, combining classic charm with modern functionality. Whether you’re planning leisurely cruises or extended stays, "Alpha Wilja" offers a delightful blend of heritage and practicality, making her an exceptional choice for any boating enthusiast.Recent servicing and underwater works were carried out in 2025, the Boat Safety Scheme Certificate expires in March 2030 and her last out of water survey was conducted in October 2022. That being said, she would benefit from visual modernisation and improvements both internally and externally. This would allow her new custodian the opportunity to personalise and upgrade "Alpha Wilja" to a style and standard of their choice, creating a unique and welcoming home from home.
