Luxury River Craft Accommodation Opportunities on Auction

A unique opportunity to acquire several leisure liners, house boats, moulds and equipment will come on offer in Knysna at the beginning of March. The auction of these assets by the ClareMart Auction Group is under liquidation instruction by R. Engelbrecht of Planet Administrators and the river crafts and equipment are those of the well-known and recognised Lightleys Holiday Houseboats of Knysna. “The auction is not to be missed by bidders interested in acquiring various craft and equipment and by manufacturers of houseboats” says Auctioneer, MCV Du Toit.

The on-site auction will offer the river-boat enthusiast the opportunity to bid for vessels which include nine four-sleeper luxury leisure liners.  There will also be five six-sleeper aqua chalets on offer. “For owners of riverfront accommodation anywhere in South Africa, this is an excellent opportunity to increase services offered to guests or increase accommodation space. A novel holiday option and experience along river bank destinations” says Du Toit. The houseboats are all complete with quality kitchens and lounge areas as well as shower facilities with hot and cold water as well as ablutions.

There will also be five fishing boats on offer and these craft are suitable for both river and sea. “There is also a variety of spares and equipment for the maintenance and manufacture of these leisure vessels including various moulds” adds Du Toit.

Lightleys House Boats are incredibly easy to use and have been described as an opportunity to allow the house-boats guests who have no knowledge of sailing whatsoever, to become admirals of the vessels and chart their own courses and explore lagoons with no access to the sea.

A preview of all craft and items will be held on Thursday, March 1 from 2pm to 5pm. For special viewing requirements by appointment. The auction will take place at Lightleys Holiday Houseboats, 2 Phantom Pass Drive, Knysna, on Friday, March 2 at 11am. A refundable R5000,00 bidders registration fee applies.
