Historic 24.75-metre Luxemotor – Fully Renovated and Modernly Appointed

For sale: a characterful 1929 Luxemotor/Barge measuring 24.75 metres in length, featuring a steel hull. The vessel combines the authentic character of a historic inland waterway vessel with a modern, Scandinavian-inspired interior.

The Luxemotor is powered by a Volvo Penta TD710G diesel engine producing approximately 215 hp and is equipped with a bow thruster, generator, shore power connection, 48V inverter system and a modern Victron electrical installation with five solar panels. With a 2,000-litre freshwater tank, 1,200-litre fuel tank and 1,500-litre wastewater tank, the vessel is well equipped for comfortable extended stays on board.

The galley is equipped with AEG appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and oven. A Miele washing machine and tumble dryer are also fitted on board.

In 2020, the vessel was fitted with a new superstructure and was subsequently extensively renovated and refitted. The result is a distinctive combination of historic vessel character, modern technology and contemporary living comfort.
