Description
Parglena is a beautifully built Tayberg replica barge offering the character, capability and engineering integrity that are increasingly difficult to find in today’s liveaboard market.
Built in 1996 with heavy-gauge steel construction, she was designed as a genuine cruising vessel rather than simply a floating home. Her traditional lines, substantial displacement, separate engine room and collapsible wheelhouse make her ideal for extended cruising throughout the UK waterways and beyond into mainland Europe.
Unlike many modern widebeams, Parglena retains the feel of a proper ship. The layout provides privacy, practicality and excellent separation between accommodation and machinery spaces, making her equally suited to long-term residential use or serious cruising adventures.
Why Parglena Stands Out
- Tayberg-built replica barge
- Heavy-duty steel construction with 10-12mm baseplate
- Ford Sabre 120hp six-cylinder diesel engine
- Dedicated engine room
- Northern Lights 6kW diesel generator
- Victron Quattro inverter/charger system
- Advanced fuel polishing and filtration system
- Collapsible wheelhouse for unrestricted cruising options
- Substantial fuel and freshwater capacity
- Diesel central heating and solid-fuel stove
- Two-cabin accommodation
- Air conditioning
- Proven liveaboard capability
Designed for Independent Cruising
Parglena has been equipped for owners who value self-sufficiency.
The reliable Ford Sabre diesel engine is housed in a dedicated machinery space, providing easier maintenance access and reduced noise within the living accommodation. Supporting systems include a Northern Lights diesel generator, Victron Quattro power management system and advanced fuel filtration equipment, making the vessel well suited to extended periods away from shore power.
With approximately 900 litres of fuel and more than 1,250 litres of fresh water capacity, she is capable of extended cruising without constant reliance on marina facilities.
Comfortable Four-Season Living
The accommodation offers a practical two-cabin layout with generous headroom throughout.
Heating is provided by Webasto diesel central heating together with a multi-fuel stove, ensuring year-round comfort. The galley is fully equipped for residential use and includes a cooker, fridge, freezer and washer/dryer. Air conditioning further enhances liveaboard comfort during warmer months.
This is a vessel designed to be lived aboard rather than occasionally visited.
Cruising Potential
A major advantage of Parglena is her collapsible wheelhouse, opening routes that are inaccessible to many wheelhouse barges. Combined with her traditional Dutch-barge-style hull form and robust construction, she offers the possibility of exploring a wide range of UK waterways and European cruising grounds.

A Rare Opportunity
Parglena will appeal to buyers seeking a genuine barge experience: traditional styling, substantial engineering, self-sufficient systems and accommodation designed for serious cruising and comfortable long-term living.
