UK: A remarkable 29 metre former German patrol vessel in Penton Hook

Description

***Leisure Mooring*** A remarkable 29 metre former German patrol vessel, Flying Dutchman is a rare example of mid-century naval engineering reimagined for contemporary living. Built in 1957 in welded mild steel with reinforced keel and robust structural framing, she combines enduring strength with refined design. A comprehensive survey in 2020 confirmed the hull, plating, and welding to be in sound condition, with ultrasonic testing verifying excellent material integrity throughout. Powered by twin MTU diesel engines, each producing 1,200 hp, the vessel offers impressive performance alongside meticulous engineering. Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a calm, light filled living environment. An open plan kitchen and living space forms the heart of the home, complemented by two bedrooms, an additional sitting room, a dedicated laundry room, and generous storage throughout. Large deck areas extend the living space outdoors, providing an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying life on the water. The overall finish is warm, elegant, and quietly luxurious, offering comfort and practicality in equal measure. Modern onboard systems include 24V and 240V electrics with inverter charger, mains water connection, and Kabola diesel heating, ensuring year round usability and ease of living. Moored within the expansive and peaceful setting of Penton Hook Marina, Britain’s largest inland marina, the vessel enjoys access to 80 acres of non tidal Thames waterways. Close to the historic town of Staines upon Thames, with its cafés, shops, and transport links, and within easy reach of Runnymede and Windsor Castle, this is a rare opportunity to experience distinctive waterside living in a setting that balances heritage, design, and connectivity.
