The Boater’s notes

Built by The Loftbarge Co. Ltd, a Hong Kong based boat building company, with the shipyard in Zhuhai China, this Loftbarge 65 is a unique aqua liveaboard concept. ‘Linking the sea with the sky’ the liveaboard features a stylish skylight concept with high ceilings, a high volume interior and contemporary living on all levels. Enter the LB65 and you will be surprised by the uniqueness found between a loft apartment and a classic motor barge. Designed as a self propelled pleasure vessel (Hong Kong Marine Department Cat IV) with maximum livable space, she has about 2,500 – 3,000 sq ft of interior and around 600ft of exterior/deck space. Built robustly in marine grade steel to commercial (CCS) standards, the welded steel hull and superstructure using 6 and 5mm steel, the build is tough, long lasting and low maintenance. Berthed in Gold Coast Yacht and Country Club Marina, this liveaboard is offered with debenture and membership subject to marina management approval.
