Piper Barge 55N – Nivernais type
17m / 55ft long
It’s no secret that space is at a precious premium on-board any boat, whatever its size and this is why every single design detail of the 55N Nivernais Class Dutch barge has been carefully thought through to make sure that it uses space smartly and innovatively.
The result? Spacious living and sleeping quarters and a relaxed and comfortable home-from-home on the water.
Importantly, its design ensures that the 55N can slide under low bridges with ease and its narrower beam makes it perfect for voyages of care-free exploration, even on the tightest of waterways.
