What we do

Vessels, marinas, coastal works and a refit yard

Every project is engineered by our naval architects and built by our fabricators in the same yard, so the people who draw it are on hand when it is built.

Design & engineering

Engineered by naval architects, built around your brief

Every hull, structure and layout is drawn in our design office, then built from the same drawings on the same site.

Naval architecture & engineering
Hull form, hydrostatics, stability, performance prediction and structural analysis, all in-house.
Designed in Rhino, Maxsurf and AutoCAD
Every hull is modelled in 3D, faired, and checked for stability and performance before production drawings are issued.
Built by the people who engineered it
Our fabricators build to our drawings in the same yard, so questions are answered on the spot.
