Our Boats: Premium Builds

- OUR BOATS: Premium Builds -

Following requests from some clients, we have developed

our Premium Builds. These are based on the Thomas /Wolstenholm design. The interiors are completely personal.

A huge amount of time is dedicated to highly develop the

interiors and the boat’s systems.

Details of the Premium Builds have included:

• The use of Historical marine artifacts and materials
such as teak decking or carved panels.

• Extensive use of specialised materials and timbers;

        the worktops and surfaces, for example, were single
        pieces of hand planed slabs of timber, rather than
        block types.

• Beautiful, personalised dashboards.

•      Hand crafted details, such as the bespoke four-poster
        bed, with turned and carved poles, the curved
        staircase, or the toilet roll holder.

•      Special lighting or media networks throughout the
        boat, enabling remote real time communications with
        the vessel’s systems.

• Underfloor heating, with highly polished concrete
using locally sourced Mendip limestone.

• Travertine stone lined bathrooms and wet rooms.

• Additional Marine equipment, including stern
thrusters and remote controlled sea cocks.

• Hydraulic Wheelhouse

Pictures of these boats can be seen in our Gallery page.

The Wheelhouse.

We produce a range of wheelhouses, in stainless steel or teak and can be single glazed or double-glazed.

The stainless steel wheelhouses are fully collapsible and offer a very practical option, with extremely low maintenance. They also create a modern twist to the traditional lines of a Dutch barge. They can also be painted to match the boat if desired.

Our teak wheelhouses are built by one of the country’s leading wheelhouse specialist. The design is elegant and practical. Very easy and quick to erect and take down.

Both types are built with safety glass, mortise locks, and solid roof made in sections for ease of use.

Prices for the stainless steel wheelhouses

range from £8,500 - £10,500

Prices for the teak wheelhouses are from

£12,500 - £15,000.

Price variation depends on detailing, such as opening windows, style and glass specification etc. Extended wheelhouses may be more.

We can also build our boats with a fixed wheelhouse, with prices from £3,000.

We encourage anyone interested in having a boat fitted out, to contact us, to discuss your requirements in detail.
