New Luxury Narrow Boats
Standard Narrow Boats are based at Nottingham Castle Marina. We manufacture and sell finished new cruiser stern style narrow boats. All are sold complete with R.C.D. (Recreational Craft Directive) documentation, created using the strict guidelines of the British Marine Federation.
Breaking News: Read the Waterways World report on the Cygnet.
We design our narrow boats to deliver ease control and manoeuvrability when cruising. The curvaceous Josher bow and stunning lines, finished with a minimum 7 coats of high gloss coach paint make our boats stand out from the crowd. Complimented by our unique luxury fit-outs, maximising practicality, warmth, comfort and storage space.
We like to think our 40 years of live aboard experience is built into all of our boats, and do our best to use this experience when helping you design your next.
From stock, our ”SWAN 57” model is based on the modern cruiser stern, with Josher styled bow and reverse layout living area.
The “SWAN” design works well in sizes from 47 to 62ft, which can be pre-ordered. Our normal stock boats are the ever-popular 57ft model.
