The team at Commercial Boat Design have been delivering class leading commercial vessel designs to our clients for over 45 years.

Our designs not only set the standard for efficiency, handling and seaworthiness, they stand the test of time. We have vessels designed and launched in the 80s, still in commercial operation today. Still working and still delivering a return for their owners, day after day, after almost 40 years in service…

Our portfolio includes passenger ferries, charter vessels, patrol boats, fire and rescue.

Plus a range of other work boats that span monohull, catamaran, and trimaran hull configurations. Not to mention our own patented hull design. We have extensive design experience in aluminium, fibreglass, carbon composites, timber and steel construction and our in house boat building experience gives us the edge in providing practical and efficient to build plans.

Beyond new vessel design, our other services include:

Stability assessments, structural design and analysis, seakeeping evaluations, FEA (finite element analysis) and CFD (computational fluid dynamics). We can also provide advice concerning modifications and conversions as well as performance enhancement recommendations and even project management with our in house, certified project managers.
