Leisure Boats
3 boats
Leisure boats for lakes, rivers and sheltered bays
Boats bought for a day out rather than a job: stable at rest, easy to board, with seating and shade for the whole family. Modest power, a polite hull at displacement speed, and a layout that works with children aboard.
Leisure hulls spend most of their life at anchor or drifting, which changes the design brief: more beam, more freeboard, and a hull that does not need to plane to behave well. The seating and the shade are the product; the engine is secondary.
These boats are often the first one a family owns, so the details matter: a boarding step that reaches a low quay, handrails where people actually put their hands, and a deck that drains overboard rather than into the bilge.
