Our Bespoke boats are exactly that - fully designed and produced to your needs. 

We have produced hundreds of these over the years and no two are the same.

If you want ultra contemporary, old fashioned panelling, high gloss laminates, etc - we have the experience and the skilled workforce to deliver.

You sit down with Simon and together you sketch out a basic specification and design.  Then, over the next weeks you optimise exactly what you want in terms of overall size, technical content, engine, heating, hardwoods, windows, colours and so on.  There is alot to discuss and we allow plenty of time to make sure we have a common understanding and a feasible design.

Some Customers then step back and ask us to call them when the boat is ready for launch, others want to be involved on a weekly basis to monitor progress.  We are happy either way.

Graeme Booth wrote a great review of a bespoke Narrowboat which we built in 2005 - unfortunately it isn't available online but if you email us your address we can post you a copy.

Proven design which has evolved over the passed 40 years.  Steelwork is 43a grade plate with 10mm base plate, 6mm hull sides and 4/5 mm cabin sides.

  • Computer controlled cutting of structure to assure dimensional Quality.
  • Interior design done on CAD to permit CNC profiling of most interior fit panels

We have built some truly wierd and wonderful boats over the last 40 years.  If you dream it then we can build it.
