Description

Meet Free Nomad, a charming 57ft by 11ft 5’ Dutch Barge with a fascinating history dating back to its birth in Amsterdam in 1916. It journeyed from France to the UK in 2023, where it was surveyed and has since undergone significant improvements, including the addition of a overplating and a brand new engine and Sleipner bow thruster.

Boasting a sturdy body of riveted iron and welded carbon steel, it was expertly overplated in 2023. The Canaline 72hp engine and Sleipner Bow Thruster, both new additions, ensure smooth sailing. Notably, Free Nomad is already prepared for sprayfoam insulation and with double glazed windows and original portholes, which have been resealed.
Water and fuel are well accounted for with three stainless steel water tanks totaling 1500L and a diesel fuel tank with a 1000L capacity. It's been thoroughly protected with 2pac epoxy in 2023 and outfitted with 12 new bilge pumps.

Now it's your chance to put your personal touch on Free Nomad. The current owner has already carried out extensive works, and now it's primed and ready for you to transform it into your dream floating home.

BUYERS & SELLERS

When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.

This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.

We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
