Step aboard a Cornish Crabber and you'll immediately sense the strength and purpose in every detail. Run your hand over the mouldings, woodwork, and fittings — the craftsmanship speaks for itself, offering the reassuring confidence that you're on a boat built to serve you well and draw admiration wherever she sails.

A timeless style. A true classic.

These are traditional boats, crafted for those who love sailing and cherish the sea.

​

We once knew an owner of a Cornish Shrimper 19, spotted in the marina comfortably seated in his captain's chair — on the pontoon — simply facing his boat.
“Not going out today?” asked a passing neighbour.
“I just like looking at my boat,” came the reply.

It’s not that Crabber owners don’t sail — far from it — but that moment sums up the pride of ownership and the quiet joy these boats inspire.

When you own a Cornish Crabber, there are certain things you’ll just have to get used to: admiring glances, kind words from passers-by, and spontaneous conversations in marinas and yacht clubs about just how marvellous your boat is.

​

That’s the price of owning a classic with a reputation for quality and beauty. And it’s well worth paying.
