Inside, Lara T has undergone recent redecoration, blending her classic charm with modern touches. The interior layout showcases quality workmanship, featuring a partially refitted galley, spacious saloon, and comfortable living areas that retain the barge’s vintage appeal. The well-maintained windows and port lights flood the space with natural light, enhancing the cozy ambiance. The vessel also includes a functional pump-out toilet system and a Kabola diesel boiler, ensuring a warm and inviting environment. Additional specifications include a keel-cooled engine, separate fuel and water tanks, and a steering gear and rudder system in good working order.
