Houseboat / motor home - former patrol boat "Espadon" with recreational craft registration

Former patrol boat "Espadon" - Officially registered as a recreational boat
Berth: 24768 Rendsburg / Schleswig Holstein

The former Belgian patrol boat "Espadon" has an eventful history and long journeys behind it. After being decommissioned and returning from the Congo, it went via Holland to Cologne and on to Oldenburg. Its current home port is Rendsburg on the Kiel Canal. This is the perfect place to complete the "Espadon" project.
The current owner has a very extensive documentation of the "Espadon". From the original construction plans to the extensive conversions last year of over 80,000 €, everything is filed in several folders!

Since her takeover by the current owner in 2021, the "Espadon" was to be completely converted into a residential ship. The riveted steel hull was completely overhauled and stripped. The superstructures in the stern were completely gutted and extended with new superstructures. The galley is equipped with a gas cooker, large refrigerator and oven. In the bow area, which is reached via the very spacious steering position, there are two large cabins and a large bathroom with corner bath. Another cabin with a bathroom is reached via a deck hatch in the bow. A staircase in the wheelhouse leads to the "second" floor, the newly welded superstructure. The sliding glass door in the stern leads to the outdoor area, which can be converted into a terrace, just like the open space at the bow.

The steering position has all the necessary displays and nautical equipment to navigate the boat safely. The two DAF diesel engines have a combined output of approx. 500 hp and run perfectly. The propellers were refitted last year. The heating system has standard radiators and runs on fuel oil.

The "Espadon" is sold with all tools, spare parts, fenders, lines etc.. This also includes a new solar system complete with solar charger and batteries in the original packaging from 2022.

The "Espadon" is an extensive project with enormous design possibilities and a lot of room for creativity and individualism. Whether as a residential ship, floating restaurant, maritime condominium or urban office. The solid foundation offers security for years to come and creates space for your ideas!
