Anjodi was built to carry freight on the waterways of the Netherlands, Belgium and France but has been converted to a hotel barge.

History

Anjodi is a Luxe motor Dutch steel barge built as a trading barge in Groningen, Netherlands in 1929 and originally carried grain. She was constructed of iron with a high copper content which has contributed to her longevity. She got the name Anjodi in 1963 after the names of the three children of the original owner, Tiemen de Weerd: Andries, Johan and Diana.

Anjodi was purchased by Derek Banks in 1982 from a Dutchman, Fopa de Jong, in Amsterdam.[1][2] She was a retired trading barge and full of old World War II aircraft instruments. The refit in 1982-1983, by European Waterways, made Anjodi one of France's first ever hotel barges.[1] Before making the three-month trip from the Netherlands to the south of France, Anjodi was towed to a shipyard in Belgium where tanks for fresh water, generators, wiring and plumbing were installed and a shell infrastructure of steel was built.[1] She is refurbished on an annual basis and [3] currently operates on the Canal du Midi in southern France.

Hotel barge

Anjodi has four guest bedrooms with private bathrooms and a saloon. Crews' quarters are in the bow and stern.[4] The Anjodi has a crew of four: captain, first mate or matelot/tour guide, chef, and hostess.[2]

Anjodi was featured in the 10 part BBC Series about Chef Rick Stein’s six week journey from Bordeaux to Marseille aboard the Anjodi on the Canal latéral à la Garonne and Canal du Midi.[5][6] Famous guests who have travelled on the Anjodi include Rod Stewart.Шаблон:Cn
