Houseboat in Cul de Sac, F.W.I. video
April 18, 2008
De Hollandia is the story of a forbidden voyage, an excentric captain, a stormy past and tribute to a legend.
Captained by a French architect Claude-Alain Girard, a stubborn man who pursues his dream against French maritime authorities, De Hollandia embarks on a trans-Atlantic in the early 80’s. Today this exquisite houseboat for sale is berthed in the French West Indies at the Baie de Cul de Sac in St. Martin. To our knowledge their is no other houseboat in the Caribbean that has crossed the Atlantic on her own power. She even still has her engine of origin.
Claude-Alain turned this 1915 grain cargo ship into his personal bachelor’s quarters at the renowned quai de Suffren near the Eiffel Tower before embarking on his Atlantic crossing. Her transformation since Claude-Alain’s era makes for a beautifully renovated and maintained vessel, worthy of her history, worthy of her legend.
