Our barges are a modification of the traditional narrowboat. The old narrowboat was restricted in width by the narrowness of the old industrial canals.

Our barges have been widened to 10 feet (3.1 meters). The extra width, coupled with the level floor of the barge, gives greater living space and comfort to the holidaymaker.  It allows you to navigate the Inland Waterways,  The Shannon Erne Wateway, The Shannon River and Lough Erne with peace of mind.  It also provides the space for two carpeted independent bedrooms with the third bedroom in the living area being private at night. A seventh berth is available.

Other features include:
- central heating system
- bathroom with bath shower
- flush toilet with modern sewage disposal
- smart modern galley area
- wood burning stove on most boats

The modern construction and wood panelling of our barges, coupled with the very effective heating, makes for a really cosy atmosphere which is much appreciated during mid and low season.
