This classic boat has been converted from a cargo ship into a beautiful sailing houseboat. This ship has been completely renovated.

This classic Draaisma from 1916 is a former cargo ship and used to serve as a milk boat.

In 2000, restoration of the ship began; the entire ship was then sandblasted inside and out, the plating was repaired and repainted. Subsequently, a new interior was fitted according to the requirements of this time.

In 2013, the Draaisma was equipped with a new engine, and in all the following years, the ship has always been well maintained.

An inspection report from 2018 and photos of the restoration are available. The hull shape is suitable for grounding, and the Draaisma is particularly well-suited for navigating both in France and in other European canals and rivers due to its low air draft.

This Draaisma is very well equipped for a long-term stay on board!
