Wide Beam barge builders

The Luxemotor Dutch Barge is our most popular wide beam boat and without a doubt the Delta Marine Services specialty.

The dignified sweeping curves of the stern and bow are so pleasing to the eye and so individual to this company that any of these Dutch Barges is identifiable throughout Britain and Europe as a Delta Marine Services Luxemotor. This is entirely our own design and ornate interpretation of the original Dutch Luxemotor cargo barge.

The spacious dimensions and feeling of luxury render the Luxemotor the choice of all those wishing to go that extra length in the purchase of a new Dutch barge.

The Delta Marine Luxemotor is versatile enough to be elegantly suitable both as a fashionable dockside apartment for entertaining guests and for a comfortable retirement spent cruising the waterways of Europe. The freedom these magnificent craft provide to each owner to soak up that continental charm at their own leisurely pace whilst relaxing in the comfort of their personal luxury creation have made our Luxemotor Dutch barge the natural selection for the more tasteful wide beam enthusiast.

A Delta Marine Services Luxemotor interior layout would typically have a solid mahogany collapsible wheelhouse dividing the main accommodation with guest quarters aft and the master bedroom at the foremost end of the main cabin. The galley, saloon and main bathroom would be located between the master bedroom and the wheelhouse. Our larger Luxemotor Dutch barges will also have enough space to cater for additional sleeping quarters or perhaps an office area.

The extra space afforded by the wider beam permits a more studio-style layout than one would expect to find in an ordinary narrowboat or offshore yacht. Through years of experience, Delta Marine Services know how to utilise this to its full potential without unnecessary wastage. There is a spacious, illuminated and airy feel within the main living area aided by the broad dimensions, large windows and the solid mahogany pigeon box skylight. The collapsible wheelhouse permits even the larger of these barges to negotiate the majority of the inland waterways with all of their low bridges and other restrictive obstacles.
