GWV Boat Building is based at Wildmoor Mill, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.  All boat building takes place inside our heated workshops.

We are a family-run business, with a great enthusiasm ourselves for the waterways and boating.  We specialise in building bespoke boats to your personal specification, or based upon our standard designs.

We work with a team of professional craftsmen, many of whom are also enthusiastic boaters, and together, we have over 200 years worth of experience.

Extreme care, a love of workmanship and ‘pride before profit’ are the important ingredients in producing you a craft of perfection.  Imagination and excellent proportion create the space and comfort you deserve.

Customers’ input is encouraged throughout the build process, and you are welcome to visit at any time.  Our customers have all become good friends.

If you are considering a boat build, why not visit our workshops in Bromsgrove for an initial meeting, and to meet our team, you would be very welcome.  Please contact us to arrange an appointment, or call for more information, we'd be pleased to help.

GWV Boat Building is owned and managed by true enthusiasts!
