Our ‘Tent of Dreams’

“Battersea for boats” - Carl Richardson, Editor of Classic Boat Magazine

We know that not every old boat can or should be saved but our Tent of Dreams offers an opportunity to some, who would otherwise have become bonfires, to find future custodians. Our process is simple:

  • Step in and save suitable boats,

  • Transport them to our yards for patient storage,

  • Research their histories and protect their stories,

  • Find that right person or people,

  • Work with you to support the necessary restoration whether that means using our services to do everything or just using our technical abilities and facilities as required

The boats in this section are not displayed with prices because, in most cases, it is more suitable that we discuss restoration packages rather than just initial purchase price. To discuss these or any other projects, please get in touch.

Our ‘Tent of Dreams’ is a real, physical place, a covered space in Woodbridge Boatyard containing several of the boats listed below, but it is also a principle of care that we extend to other, sometimes bigger, vessels.
