330. Paradise on the water: Dutch barge FULL TOUR!

I think the engine room says it all. never seen a room that clean, not a drop of oil. for being 16 yrs old. it's worth what they are asking

What a lovely couple and a magnificent boat. You can tell that the owners put a great deal of thought in the design and the interior is flat out gorgeous. I hope they sell it to someone that will give it the care and attention it deserves.

That’s an awesome boat in pristine condition, a credit to the owners who have made it a home and maintained it to perfect condition. Thank you for sharing this with us 👍👏

Such a nice couple and clearly they love their craft.

What the heck! I've casually got this playing in the background as I pack my house up in Canada to ready for a move back to the UK and Bruce and Joy appear! I've spent many a quality time around their home when their son and my good friend Ben was around. Such lovely people and Bruce makes a mean pizza! I'm so glad to see them again, happy and enjoying life together! x

Only David can tell these stories in such an engaging fashion. IMHO, he is the Dean of Narrowboat vloggers! Cheers.

Lovely couple. Someone is getting a gem. The engine room makes a statement.

The owners commissioned a well-thought-out boat.

The Dutch Barge is my unreachable dream home... between this life and the next I'm going to save up....

Hi David, I have been subscribed to your channel for a long while now and always look forward to the next episode. I was really surprised for you to produce Bruce and his Bolberry. I have met him many times as I was one of the pilots who used to take Bolberry to and from Portishead every year. A delightful couple and a fantastic barge. I never had any worries about breaking down as I have had with a few of the narrow boats which we took. I hope he manages to find a buyer. Keep on going with the vlogs, we are currently on the Leeds and Liverpool on our narrow boat 😊😊 Rick

Thanks David what a fabulous boat 👍

You see the phrase "finished to a high standard" in every other ad so you usually at best laugh quietly at it because most of them are actually on the shabby side not even comparing to Bolberry, which truly deserves this description. She's one of a kind and very obviously well loved and cared for, so the price doesn't surprise me, especially given how immaculate she looks - even the engine room is so clean you could eat there.

Care, thought, planning, maintainance and attention to detail are extremely evident in this boat. An engine room to die for.

what a wonderful space to call home

Perfect for the Scottish Canals.

Thanks for the tour of this boat, David. They have a lovely home there and I can well imagine it has given them much pleasure through the years. Have a Blessed day.

I had to look up gongoozle, and find it interesting there is a word just to describe that activity. If nothing else, I've learned many new words over the last 8 years.

Another little gift from David on a cloudy Sat afternoon.

I had a 6’10” wide Dutch Style narrowboat with a rear collapsible roofed wheel house on the River Severn called Ess-Em-Jay. She eventually got renamed as Tea and Oranges. Best boat I ever had by miles!

what a lovely couple and fantastic boat
