Boat Description

Model: St. Antoine

Type: Houseboat (Barge)

Original Year: 1929

The St-Antoine is an unusual houseboat with a distinctly nautical character. Originally a cargo ship, it has been converted into an atmospheric accommodation for nine people. The exterior features a pointed 'tip' reminiscent of the robust lines of the original ship, showcasing its rich maritime history. The interior offers a pleasant mix of authentic elements and contemporary comfort.

• Original alcoves where the skipper's family once lived
• Two bathrooms
• Two showers
• Two toilets (additional toilet, shower, and bed in the forecabin not counted as rentable)
• Fully equipped kitchen with a traditional AGA stove and oven
• Central heating

• Innovative biological water purification system on the upper deck
• Plants include water mint, woodland strawberry, cattail, and catnip
• Solar panels on the roof for hot water and electricity

What makes the St-Antoine extra special is that you can not only stay here, but also sail. Skipper Bart is happy to take you on a trip, allowing you to experience the boat as a living piece of maritime heritage that offers both tranquillity and adventure.

The boat is immediately available for the new owner. It is also possible to buy the ship and leave it partly or completely in the management of vzw 'de boot' to generate income by renting it out to groups or families, with or without a sailing trip.

The vessel has a CVO inspection valid until 2027 and fully complies with all the requirements for a sailing vessel as well as all the requirements to comply with the legislation on tourist accommodation.

If you are looking for a sailing houseboat equipped with every comfort, and/or an investment in sailing heritage (463 overnight stays in 2023) with a nice return, you should definitely have visited the St. Antoine!
