MARLIN is the replica of a classic saloon commuter motor yacht seen from the banks of the Hudson River in the late 1920’s. She is based on designs by naval architect John H. Wells, but was built in 2007 with modern conveniences to allow passengers to cruise in comfort. The owner has made every effort to maintain this boat to Bristol standards.

A rare opportunity to own a true classic! "Scimitar" is a lovely example of this sought after classic centre cockpit motor boat, she gives great credit to both the designs and builders at Fairey Marine.

Very few marques have the pedigree of this Fairey Swordsman which is now seriously for sale as her owner feels that she deserves a new home, and all good things must sadly come to an end. This boat has a modified interior, with a new layout to... read more

Lady Doris was made by Vosper in 1939 as an RAF Seaplane tender, and saw active service in WW2. She’s registered as a National Historic Ship, along with just 1,300 other ships in the UK. Meaning she can fly a special ensign flag to “show off” her place in British Maritime History… I’m moving to Uganda, and so with a heavy heart, I need to find her a new home, or new owners who will have the passion, time and resources to care for her properly. With some care and attention she could make a lovely Liveaboard, Spare room (AirBnb) or of course be used for various ad... read more
