Like fingerprints
every custom vessel is
unique to the owner who envisioned it
For those who have never experienced the thrill and excitement of building a custom boat, the very idea may seem overwhelming. But not knowing your boottop from a bulkhead is no reason to not pursue this dream.
And this is the magic of custom boat building. All you need is the desire, the willingness to take a dream and have it made real… the rest we will do for you.
You don’t even need to know what the boat looks like; all you need to know is what you want to do with it. For example, take your family or grandchildren on epic adventures where they make memories that last a lifetime or take all of your friends to the furthest fishing grounds in total luxury and comfort; that is all we need to know.
Once you know your boat's mission profile, we will introduce you to a designer perfect for your project. Together, you will formulate a design that captures all your aspirations and needs. It is at the end of the design process that the real adventure begins because this is when theory becomes tangible; this is when we start building.
Building your own boat is an exceptional journey, an adventure that concludes with the launch of a boat that is 100% yours, 100% the physical manifestation of your dream. It is an experience many of our clients find immensely satisfying. This is what Alan and Gloria Day, owners of Antiquity, an 18m Elite Mid Pilothouse, had to say after her launch.
“The team at Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders made the experience stress free and enjoyable…. Nothing was too much trouble, the workmanship and attention to detail was excellent. We have no hesitation in recommending Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders to anyone who wants a boat where quality and craftsmanship is paramount.”
Taking our clients on this journey is something we take very seriously. Our objective is to provide an experience that is highly professional, transparent, relaxed and very enjoyable. We pride ourselves on the level of service we provide, with open and clear communication, supporting our clients through every step of the process and providing as much or as little advice and direction as our clients prefer. It is something very much recognised by our boat owners and a point of difference that makes us stand out from almost every other custom boat builder.

Meticulous attention to detail, precision joinery, and the use of the finest materials ensure that every luxury yacht we build, we build to the very best of our ability.

From our full carbon, lightweight sport fisher motor yacht with the latest in marine electronics and fuel-efficient IPS propulsion system to our exceptional 23.9m expedition ketch, constructed with six layers of cold moulded, longitudinal and diagonal planked yellow cedar combined with lightweight composites. A boat building tour de force, utilising our traditional wooden and composite construction expertise. This diverse portfolio of custom boats gives us the experience and know-how to undertake any project, regardless of the complexity.
Providing the best possible client experience we can
For us, it is more than just building you a custom yacht; it is taking you on a journey, a journey that is just as important to us as the quality of the finished product. Giving you the best possible client experience we can is paramount and is why many of our clients are now close friends. The key to this is collaboration and communication. Using our wide range of communication options, we keep you completely up to date on the progress of your build, working closely with you to ensure your motor yacht is tailored to your exact specifications and, at the end of the build, there are no surprises.
