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

Anjodi was purchased by Derek Banks in 1982 from a Dutchman, Fopa de Jong, in Amsterdam.

[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.

[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.
