Birchwood Boats is a distinguished British boat manufacturer with an illustrious history dating back over half a century. The company was established in 1967 by Ted Andrews in Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, a location that was quintessential to birch tree (thus influencing the company name) and the River Trent, which provided an idyllic boating environment. Birchwood Boats made a name for themselves producing stylish, robust, and quality motorised yachts, the first major milestone being the launch of the Birchwood 25 in the 1970s, a craft that set a new precedent in the boating industry for its superb performance and design aesthetics.
The company has experienced various ownerships and location changes but it has never deviated from its core principles of quality, luxury and innovation. In the 1980s and 1990s, under the lead of the Directors John and Jean Gow, Birchwood Boats expanded its product range and moved its base to the historic boat building area of Hythe Marina, Hampshire. This period witnessed the launch of popular models such as the Birchwood TS37 and the Birchwood 440, enhancing the company's profile in the luxury motor yacht market.
In recent years, Birchwood Boats relocated its headquarters to the southern side of England, in the bustling city of Southampton where its boats are now designed, manufactured and launched. The company continues to be a leader in the industry, producing an elegant line of motor yachts - renowned for their comfortable interiors, sleek exteriors and high-quality performance. Today, Birchwood Boats stands as a testament to British craftsmanship, its name synonymous with quality and luxury in the boating world.
