Moody Yachts
The past
As a child, John Moody fell was obsessed with boats. His first attempt at boatbuilding began in the courtyard of his home in Swanwick. When he passed away in 1880, he left his boat building business to his son, Alexander, who continued to fulfil his dream. It was John's grandson, Alexander Herbert, along with his son Reginald, who began maintenance on boats at the beginning of the 20th century. But in 1934, Moody decided to build yachts themselves.
The family made a promise that Moody Yachts were to use the best materials available and maintain the highest quality workmanship. To this day, nothing has changed, and for the past 150 years Moody Yachts still sits on the River Hamble.
