Skathow Boat – Traditional Boats built for Today

At Skathow Boat we design and build distinctive small yachts and motor launches with traditional charm and modern functionality. Rooted in timeless design and built in Cornwall by a skilled, experienced team, every Skathow is crafted to offer simple, satisfying time on the water — whether you're sailing solo along the coast or enjoying a quiet river cruise.

We focus on boats up to 30 feet, where elegance, practicality, and a true connection to the sea still matter. In a world of oversized cruisers and disposable design, we believe there’s lasting value in a well-built small boat — and real pride in owning something made to endure.

Alongside our new builds, we offer full refit, repair, spares, and brokerage services. Our team has extensive experience with a wide range of traditional craft — especially well-loved designs like Drascombes and Cornish Crabbers — and we’re proud to help owners keep them looking their best and sailing beautifully.
