Tug For Conversion - Sea Challenge II

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Sea Challenge II, a substantial former tug now available on a secure residential mooring, offering exceptional space and potential to create a distinctive and characterful floating home. Originally in service until less than two years ago, Sea Challenge II is now available due to engine issues and provides an exciting opportunity for conversion into a large static houseboat. Set across three levels, Sea Challenge II offers generous and versatile living space that could easily be reconfigured to create a truly unique home afloat. The top-level wheelhouse would make a stunning saloon or day lounge, providing panoramic views and access to a small outside terrace - ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The deck level currently houses a galley kitchen, seating area, shower, and toilet. Below deck, there are three cabins - two with double berths and one with four single berths - all featuring built-in storage. The engine room is substantial and, if the machinery were removed, could be transformed into a large open-plan living area or additional sleeping quarters. While the engine will need to be removed or repaired, the generous hull and internal layout offer immense scope for redesign. The deck space is equally impressive, providing ample room to enjoy the outdoors and your river surroundings. Sea Challenge II could be lived on as is or gradually transformed into a spacious family home afloat, making her an ideal liveaboard project for those seeking both character and potential. Located within walking distance of a general store, restaurant ∕ diner, and bus terminus with links to nearby towns, this popular village location caters to all needs - including schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, shops, restaurants, takeaways, swimming pool, and leisure centre. For commuters, the A2 ∕ M2 is less than ten minutes away, offering fast road access to both London and the coast, while Strood Station provides high-speed rail connections to London in around 40 minutes. The area also benefits from proximity to the River Medway, with sailing facilities and picturesque countryside walks. Sea Challenge II represents a fantastic opportunity to transform a well-built working tug into a unique and spacious floating home. With ample living space, strong structure, and flexible layout, she could become a substantial family residence or one-of-a-kind houseboat with character and charm.
