Modelled on the style of the classic Dutch cargo vessels, our Dutch style barges offer the comfort of a home from home on the water. Perfect to live aboard they're the ideal getaway for exploring the wider waterways of the UK and Europe.

Manufactured from 8mm steel a Piper Boats' Dutch style barge is robust and durable. Each boat is built to Category C (Inshore) meaning our design lends itself to voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers under conditions up to wind force 6 and where wave heights of up to 2 metres may be experienced.

There is also the option to upgrade the specification to a Category B (Offshore) making the boats suitable for voyages in conditions up to wind force 8 with wave heights of up to 4 metres.

With a traditional sheer to the hull our Dutch style barge combines functionality with style. This allows for a generous fit out space with absolutely no compromise on performance and the boat's longevity.
