REDUCING DIESEL: LOOKING TO THE FUTURE...PROPULSIONWe all face challenges to reduce impact on the environment. At Tristar Boats we're proud to be working on projects which offer more sustainable approaches to boating. We've fitted many parallel hybrid engines in partnership with Hybrid Marine (see Rachmaninov, Margaret Wroughton II, Nancy David, Ohm from'ome, Stedman II and Share and Enjoy!) and we are now also working on a series hybrid narrowboat project powered with lithium ion batteries. Watch this space for more information...

A 'NEARLY NEW' NARROWBOAT PROJECT: REUSING MATERIALS TO MAKE A SPECIAL BOAT
Have a look at our narrowboat refit project 'Marjorie'. We're looking at the viability of turning and end of life vessel around. This fitout is 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.)

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.
