Description

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present The Regalia, a substantial hopper barge originally built circa 1980 and expertly converted into a three-deck bar and restaurant. Previously operating successfully at Swan Pier in central London, the vessel offers a unique blend of history, scale and future opportunity.
Now securely moored on the River Swale, The Regalia sits in a well-equipped location with shore power, water connections and excellent transport links.
This is a commercial mooring where you will be allowed to work and stay on the boat for as long as the conversion takes. Once converted you will be able to discuss further mooring options with the mooring owners.
