Nick Thorpe Boat Building

We are a family run business based in Hixon, Stafford.
I started as a apprentice in 1991 for two of the highest regarded boat builders in the industry.
Over the years I've thoroughly enjoyed learning and developing my boatbuilding skills, and I strive for complete satisfaction for my clients as well as myself. In 2004 I decided to bite the bullet and go it alone, with the help of my wife Wendy in the office. This means I now build quality narrow boats that I proudly put my own name to.

Everything is overseen by myself and nothing is overlooked. Each boat is built to the client's specifications and to my own designs on traditional lines. Please call us for an informal friendly chat about your narrowboat
