About GoBarging
Barge design

The art of Barge design...

To design a hotel barge requires a sound understanding of the requirements of our passengers, and this understanding must show itself with every aspect of the finished product

From the capacity of the water tanks, to the output of the air conditioning units, from the correct angle of the backrest on the fitted sofas to the ratio of sun deck area to the capacity of the Jacuzzi

We also take into consideration luggage space, window heights and sizes, bed and mattress dimensions and the ratios between passenger living area, cabin size and sundeck space

Every barge is different. Scottish Highlander, one of our most recent creations, launched in 2000 was built to cope with the demands of the Scottish Highlands. Her striking interior is a balanced blend of traditional Highland tartans, brass and hardwoods

La Belle Époque, arguably the finest inland cruising vessel afloat, is a powerful canal and river cruiser, with marble tiled bathrooms, a sauna and fitness studio and Jacuzzi with a décor reminiscent of the 1890’s and the good old days. Today she is a comfortable and luxurious floating country hotel

The Magna Carta, new for the 2002 season is another prime example of well thought out design and craftsmenship, her luxurious saloon and cabins are fitted to the highest standard, to ensure that your cruise on the Royal river Thames in England is a memorable one

We spend months pouring over and refining the plans, considering the comments offered by our clients and generally perfecting the drawings to give our craftsmen every opportunity to build a vessel of beauty and durability with passenger comfort always the utmost priority
