Brief History of Vessel

 

History

Alfa & Omega was brought by the previous owner to the UK, approximately 17 years ago from Holland. The vessel has been used as a liveaboard in East London ever since. The current owner has had her for 9 years and has completed a full refit in 2022. Very little is known of the vessel's history in Holland. The assumption is that she was once a grain transport that was later converted into a liveaboard.
