Amazing Passenger Feryy to Convert - Golden Sunrise

A Rare Opportunity to Create a Cruising Floating Home Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Golden Sunrise, a Thames passenger vessel recently taken out of service and offering exceptional potential to create a stunning floating home, with the added advantage of retaining cruising capability if desired. This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a vessel so recently in commercial use and presented in excellent condition, making her an ideal platform for conversion into a unique residential houseboat. The open-plan layout and wide beam of Golden Sunrise lend themselves perfectly to conversion, offering large, flexible spaces with an abundance of natural light. The vessel can be easily sectioned to suit individual requirements, whether for family living or a more open, contemporary design. A diesel-fired central heating system is already installed and can be extended if required. The vessel is fully wired, with scope for further electrical additions. Plumbing is already in place for four toilets and hand basins, making the creation of one or more luxury bathrooms straightforward. There are two existing bar areas, one of which could be readily converted into a bespoke kitchen, while the internal space allows for the creation of at least three bedrooms and two reception rooms, subject to layout. Externally, there is a small forward deck ahead of the wheelhouse, which could easily be adapted into a utility area while retaining the necessary equipment for cruising. The aft deck is a superb open space, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the surroundings whether moored or underway. The engine room and associated equipment are all in excellent condition. Golden Sunrise arrived at her current mooring under her own power in January 2026, demonstrating her continued cruising capability. As a former passenger vessel, she has been regularly dry docked, thoroughly inspected, and meticulously maintained, ensuring a high standard of care throughout her working life. Golden Sunrise represents a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-maintained Thames passenger vessel with a secure residential mooring and the ability to cruise. With her excellent condition, generous proportions, and existing infrastructure, she offers the perfect foundation to create a unique and luxurious floating home. Why Choose Golden Sunrise?
