SUIGENERIS Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 depending on to which stage you require building, then I can certainly recommend Nick Thorpe Boatbuilding who made an excellent job, on price, on time, for us in 2015. But we only wanted a shell, , but I think he does sailaways too. He has a website. Cheers. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mack Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Since all the work in building a narrowboat goes into the bows and stern, you may find some builders unwilling to build a boat as short as 30ft, or you may pay something of a premium, compared with a longer boat.

Athy Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Stenson boat builders in Derbyshire offer a Little Gem class boat which comes in various sizes, the smallest about 31 feet from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chertsey Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Would anybody please forward any reputable boat builders that have had experience with, I'm looking for a 30 foot boat to be built many thanks There is so much more to think about than length. Do you want something cheap and cheerful, or something of higher quality that will hold its value better? Do you want a really nice looking boat (that will probably handle better too), or just a basic tub to get afloat in? These two questions at least will massively influence your choice of builder.
