Character Boats specialise in the building of traditional and classic sailing craft which are widely recognised throughout the world for traditional style and quality of build.

The business was established on the North West Coast some thirty years ago and nowadays operates from  premises in St.Annes on Sea, Lancashire.  It has established an excellent reputation for building seaworthy shallow draught craft of sound construction and good sailing performance.

Derived from well proven hull designs the range owes its origins to the traditional working sailing boats of the North West and Scottish coastlines.

The company employs a small but highly experienced workforce using modern materials  combined with fit out in selected hardwoods from sustainable sources. They produce traditional boats which retain the charm and good handling of the original craft yet require minimal maintenance and give good performance well suited to the needs of the modern sailor.

Character Boats attract great attention wherever they are sailed and are appreciated by owners who seek something distinctive and which gives great pride of ownership.

As well as building complete new craft Character Boats can also offer  selected models as fully built and assembled hulls with woodwork and rigging kits for completion by owners with suitable skills and the desire to complete their own boat.

The business has built up an excellent reputation for customer service and after sales support.
