About Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding
The highest quality wooden boats with modern performance as standard
Boats custom-built by Cockwells may be classical in style and feel but they are modern in many aspects, from their designs, through to the technology and the materials they are built from.
High quality sustainable woods are used in conjunction with modern materials and techniques to ensure our customers get the best of all options.
From beautiful classic yachts and motor launches to pilot cutters and superyacht tenders, each boat is individually designed and built to suit the owner’s exact requirements.
Our vast knowledge and respect for traditional shipwright skills combined with advanced engineering and modern boatbuilding techniques enables us to create outstanding leisure and commercial vessels. Each one built to the standards of relevant classification authorities and ideal for the modern world.
In construction we utilise high-tech composites as well as wood. We maintain all the style and class associated with a traditional yacht. Where preferred, we combine this with the use of modern materials and techniques to increase durability and reduce maintenance.
In days gone by, people could go direct to almost any boatyard and commission the boat of their choice. Our mission is to bring back this service to those who appreciate fine vessels and a high level of craftsmanship.
People who come to Cockwells are looking for something different. We ensure they don't have to compromise.
