I think it never proved to be commercially viable. It was at the boat races in the Broads with a large crowd on it and that would have been about 1996. Other people may have more information than I do.

However, if you do buy this one I have a 54 foot slip you could rent. The next move is yours!
The barge was used, sometimes, as a floating platform for bachelor parties. I spent time one afternoon, watching the strippers, strip! Probably not real popular with the other neighbors. Never saw anything on the Lake like it before, or since! It didn't last long before it was abandoned.
