Wide Beams
Spacious, stylish and built entirely around you — offering the comfort of a modern apartment with the freedom of life on the water.
Spacious. Stylish. Entirely yours.
Apartment-scale living, handcrafted for the waterways.
At Bluewater Boats, we are proud to be one of the UK’s leading builders of truly bespoke wide beam boats.
Built entirely in-house at our Warwickshire facility, each wide beam is designed and handcrafted by our experienced team of boatbuilders, cabinet makers, marine engineers and painters.
With beam widths available from 10ft to 14ft, our wide beams offer the luxury and living space of a modern apartment on water. Whether you are looking for a full-time home, a holiday escape or a spacious cruising vessel, we will work with you to bring your dream to life.
Spacious living, tailored to you
Every room planned around how you want to live.
Wide beams create the freedom to design larger private cabins, full-size bathrooms, open-plan galleys and light-filled saloons. Every interior is completely bespoke, with each detail agreed collaboratively throughout the build.

With every workshop visit, you can see your wide beam progress and help shape each decision. Our aim is simple: to deliver a boat that feels uniquely yours, inside and out.
Built by experts, in-house
From the first weld to the final polish.
We are not a production yard. Every Bluewater wide beam is a one-off, hand-built with care, precision and pride by one joined-up team.
Marine engineering
Propulsion, plumbing and onboard systems are integrated from the outset.
Cabinetry & fit-out
Wood machinists and cabinet makers create bespoke furniture and interiors room by room.
Painting & finishing
Professional two-pack coatings, polished joinery and final detailing are completed in-house.
Signature design features
Practical ideas that maximise comfort and space.
From social stern decks to intelligent hull geometry, every design choice is considered around the way you intend to live and cruise.
Square rounded stern
Wraparound seating across the rear and beside the helm creates an exceptional space for dining, entertaining and relaxed cruising.
Generous deck space
Additional room for a table and chairs, improved access to the engine room and easier boarding from towpaths and pontoons.
Cruiser stern option
A round cruiser stern with an open seat rail for those who prefer a clean, open deck and extra outdoor living space.
Flat bottom with chine
Designed for improved manoeuvrability, efficient propulsion and easier mooring in shallower water.
Protected tank space
The chine creates underfloor room for fresh-water and waste tanks without sacrificing valuable interior storage.
A floating home, built for life
Generous proportions without standardised choices.
Our previous wide beam builds have included curved en-suite bathrooms, dedicated home offices with guest-bed combinations, luxury wet rooms, bespoke entertainment units and high-end materials throughout.
We understand that your boat is your home, your escape and your lifestyle. You will be involved at every stage, with each workshop visit offering the opportunity to discuss, confirm, refine and explore new ideas.

We do not offer “standard options.” Every element is discussed in depth, custom made and created specifically for you.
Bespoke electrical systems
Designed for your lifestyle. Fitted to perfection.
Just like every other part of your wide beam, the electrical system is designed in consultation with you. Whether you are planning weekend use, continuous living aboard or off-grid cruising, our marine engineers balance performance, reliability and ease of use.

Every installation is completed in-house, safely fitted, logically arranged, clearly labelled and built to last. Reliable engineering and beautiful presentation are both part of the Bluewater standard.
Protection beneath the finish
Shot blasted and professionally spray painted.
Every Bluewater wide beam is shot blasted and protected with a high-performance two-pack paint system designed to significantly extend the life of both the steelwork and finish.
Painting takes place in our dedicated insulated paint workshop with professional extraction. Spray application builds a stronger, more uniform micron thickness than brushing or rolling, giving the hull and superstructure long-term protection against demanding waterway conditions.
