Each year we build a new boat. The process starts by spending time with our customers, finding out what their ideal boat would be. Then we try to design and build it, with the premise that it must be the sort of high quality boat on which we would want to spend a holiday.

1. Beacon Park Boats
• Welcome to Beacon Park Boats, a
family-run business offering luxury
narrowboat
holidays
on
the
Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal in
the Brecon Beacons National Park,
South Wales.

2. Boats Built by us
• We are particularly proud that
we design and build all our
boats. So you’ll never have
experienced boats quite like
ours; they're bespoke.

3. The steel shell, built to our detailed specification, is delivered to
our boat yard.

4. Lots of work to do here over the next 6 months!

5. We start by loading ballast and timber-framing the sides and
roof. Then we spray Cosy Homes insulation foam throughout the
entire boat.

6. Inside we route the water and electrics before lining the steel
boat with wood.

7. Here the woodwork in the bedroom is nearing completion. And
we really do mean ‘wood’; there’s no mdf here
!

8. Each boat is hand-painted and receives three undercoats and
two topcoats.

9. Next the Shire 40 engine gets carefully lowered into position.

10. The finished boat (the photo shows Buzzard) leaves our shed at
Llangattock and is craned carefully into the canal.

11. ‘We name this boat Buzzard’. Each boat is officially ‘launched’
with a bottle of champagne!
