Founded in 2008, Collingwood Boat Builders swiftly became an industry-leading organisation in the UK boating industry. Their ambition was to create customisable, luxurious and aesthetically pleasing wide beam boats and canal narrow boats, while prioritising longevity and affordability. The company was established by a group of individuals with immense dedication and marine manufacturing experience. Their knowledge and commitment revolutionised the standard of British-built canal boats.
Primarily developed in Liverpool, these bespoke boats were constructed to withstand the rigours of boating life. The Liverpool base was known for its strong working-class ethos and industrial heritage, making it a fitting birthplace for such hardy vessels. The design and engineering blended traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, ensuring exceptional boats that appealed to a spectrum of customers.
In recent years, Collingwood Boat Builders have relocated to the countryside setting of Warwickshire situated in the heart of England. This change has not only provided the company with larger facilities advantageous for development and storage, but it also brought them closer to the iconic British waterways, offering unique and practical insights into boat design and use. The boat manufacturer remains dedicated to delivering the finest quality boats constructed by their expert craftsmen to this day.
