Business Information

Step aboard a unique slice of history with the “Pearl of the Dane,” a remarkable steamboat offering vast potential for creative redevelopment. This 250-ton, free-floating vessel, formerly a licensed café, bar, and restaurant, is moored along a prime waterfront location near Congleton Quay. Surrounded by new and upcoming developments, including a nearby care home and residential projects, the area is ripe for growth, making this property an enticing prospect for those with vision.

Imagine transforming this iconic boat into a stunning residence, a one-of-a-kind hospitality venue, or even a community space that celebrates its heritage. Previously it had over 80 covers across three levels and additional outdoor space, the “Pearl of the Dane” provides a flexible layout, ready to be reimagined. The boat rises and falls with the water levels, a distinctive feature that could add to its allure for guests or residents.

The surrounding land, which includes a car park for up to 15 vehicles and a separate outbuilding, enhances the property’s functionality and appeal. Mains services are available, though reconnection may be required. With planning permissions granted nearby and the property currently underutilised, there is considerable scope for redevelopment, particularly for community-friendly or residential use, which may receive favourable consideration from local planning authorities.
