Since 1997 we have been regularly adding new vessels to our fleet and all of these have been fitted out on site by our experienced team of boat builders.  

The newest ranges to our fleet are the Kintail Class,  a stunning 4 berth cruiser, ideal for 2 couples, and Torridon Class, which is ideal for both families and couples.  

The hulls are supplied by Haines Marine in Norfolk. Haines have a long tradition of supplying quality vessels to both the private and charter market. The windows are supplied by Trend Marine Products and the stainless steel rails and tanks supplied from DC Marine, both also in Norlfolk. The windows and stainless products are transported up from Norfolk inside the empty hull and work commences immediately.  The complete fit out usually takes around 5 months with a team of 3 people working full time.
