Trawler Snip [90.000 EURO]

The Snip has been nicely converted for Sport Fishery. Before, she was used as a trawler near Texel. Since the ship had been rebuilt for this job and is therefore suitable as a house boat as well. A new metal upper structure had been built on the fishing holt. There is a nice entrance that leeds you to the main accommodation.

At the back, the original accommodation is still available.

The trawler has a good running Scania engine.
