Our Story

Cornish Crabbers is a range of traditional boats : designed by respected architects and built to high exacting standards.  As soon as you step onto the boat you’ll feel a strength and purpose about the design : touch the quality of the mouldings , woodwork and fittings for a reassuring confidence that you are on a boat that will serve you well and be admired by many. Simply the best.

​

It is a traditional style : timeless.

​

Traditional boats for those who love sailing and the sea.

​

We know an owner of a Cornish Crabber who was spotted sat on his captain styled chair in the marina… but the chair was on the pontoon and he was sat facing, in this case,  his Cornish Shrimper 19.

 

"Not going out today?"  asked a passing berthing neighbour.

 

“I just like looking at my boat" came the reply.

 

Now that’s not to say people who own a Cornish Crabber don’t go sailing…absolutely not… but it fairly sums up the owners pride of ownership and admiration for the design and quality of build.

 

When you own a Cornish Crabber there are some things you are just going to have to put up with, admiring looks, passing complimentary comments and marina/yacht club conversations about how marvellous the boat is.

​

This reputation for quality and traditional looks comes with the territory.

Surprisingly fast under sail and pointing well to wind, the C24 is no slouch

CornishCrabbers 26_1

This is a true family cruiser with accommodation that challenges many boats much larger.
