Piper Barge 57N – Nivernais type
17.5m / 57ft long

With an extra two feet in length the Piper 57N Nivernais Class Dutch barge offers a perfect balance of spacious living whilst maintaining the benefit of a narrow enough beam to cruise those smaller waterways.

Whether you aim to spend many months at a time on-board, or your schedule means you’ll only be able to grab the odd week here and there, you’ll always feel at home on the water with a large master suite and similar guest quarters.

The 57N Nivernais Class Dutch barge design ticks many boxes, making it one of Piper’s most popular boats.
