The building of our boats is an endless pursuit for perfection based upon our physical experiences with the sea. Using the wide range of resources available to us we can build the finest quality vessels with meticulous results. Norman R. Wright & Sons are able to build the vessels as follows:
- Commercial boats
- Pleasure boats
- Sailing yachts
- Motor boats
- Luxury motor yachts
- Classic wooden boats
All vessels built at NRW are constructed in fully engineered hand laminated epoxy bonded composites or with advanced epoxy bonded timber structures, depending entirely on client choice and vessel application. We also tank test the vessels to confirm performance characteristics of a design prior to commencing construction.
Currently Norman R. Wright & Son's facilities include 3 slipways capable of slipping vessels 30' to the 120' (120 tonne limit). From sailing yachts to motor boats, the yard can provide access to services ranging from:
- Refits
- Repairs

At NRW we build our boats with pride and believe we have given our customers the highest quality boats since 1909.
