A 'NEARLY NEW' PROJECT
We are very excited about our narrowboat refit project 'Waste Knott'. We are doing this fitout using as many reclaimed/ repurposed and manufacturing surplus materials as possible. Where we can't repurpose we will buy the most energy efficient product available (eg solar panels.) Click here or take a look at our facebook page to watch our progress...

BUT WHAT DO THE CUSTOMERS THINK? Here are some comments about our recent builds...
"Working with Tristar on my very non-standard painted hybrid sailaway has been an absolute pleasure.... the boat has received many compliments from other professionals since it arrived home for its internal fitout. I'm extremely glad I chose them and look forward to cruising back to Redhill to show them the finished product one day." owner of Nancy David, 2019
"Michelle, Jeremy and the rest of the Tristar team...worked with us to give us the lovely boat that we so much wanted. Tristar are a great team and we would be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a fit out." owners of 'The Power of Dreams', 2019
"Many thanks [for the boat]... we absolutely love her!" owners of 'Hello World', 2018

tristar boats...who are we?
|
|
We are a family business based in the East Midlands and between us we have many years of design and construction experience in making individual canal boats of all shapes and sizes.
We involve a variety of talented subcontractors, most of whom live on boats, some of us build boats in our spare time, some of us row for fun and two of us travel to work by kayak. Jeremy has been building boats for 20 years. His background in violin repair and scenery for TV and film has given his the essential ability to embrace different ideas while attending to detail. Michelle has been designing and building boats for 10 years and is responsible for many aspects of the business from planning to project management and from prototype building to financial management. |
WHAT DO WE DO?
We make beautiful bespoke boats for the inland waterways. This could be a narrowboat, a Dutch barge or a wide-beam boat.
All of our boats are made to order for the customers. We like to work with local businesses for example the steelwork can come from Soar Valley Steel Boats who are based in the same boatyard.
