Devon Wooden Boats Ltd. was founded in 2010 by Pete Newbery-Thornton working out of his sister in-law’s quadruple garage in Kingsteignton. After 5 years we moved to workshop units on the River Dart and grew to the current team of 3 people.
Since the summer of 2017 we’ve been based at Units 1 & 2 Lapthorne Industrial Estate on the Totnes Road between Newton Abbot and Totnes near the Ipplepen garage.
Our company has quality and safety at its heart. We desig, build and repair wooden boats to the highest possible standards using only the best quality marine timbers, fixings, coatings and adhesives. We try to keep the traditional skills and workmanship alive while adding modern tools and methods to deliver projects on time and on budget.
