Piper Boats build high quality, heavy gauge steel boats for the inland waterways:

 

Narrowboats - supplied as bare shell, sailaway or fully complete.  There are over 400 Piper boats cruising the British Waterways, some 36 years young.  Sound design, quality construction and loving owners make Piper boats a lifetime investment

 

Replica Dutch Barges - supplied as either bare shell or fully complete. 

Simon Piper personally led the Marine Architect and Structural Engineers to design the optimum Dutch Barge replica for cruising the UK and European waterways. 

Shallow draft, low air draft, heavy gauge design that will take you around all the wide beam waterways network. 

A Dutch Barge Replica optimised for the leisure/liveaboard client and available exclusively from PiperBoats.
