Research
Boats are more than just vessels; they are long-term investments built to last. We begin with a deep dive into your specific needs, ensuring the project is rooted in a clear understanding of how you intend to use the water. By identifying these requirements early, we align our technical expertise with your long-term vision.

Planning
Precision at the outset defines the success of the build. We use open communication to translate your aspirations into an agreed project scope, capturing technical and functionals detail upfront. This stage ensures that performance expectations are met and that the delivery timeline is managed through collaborative, thorough documentation.

Architecture & Engineering
We balance sophisticated engineering with the practicalities of life on the water. From optimising hull performance to refining layouts and integrated amenities, our design process ensures structural integrity and seamless functionality. Every detail is engineered to enhance safety and reliability, creating a platform for effortless family experiences.
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works”
— Steve Jobs
Construction
With a background in classical training, BlueTree build hulls using both traditional and modern techniques, with cold moulded being our preferred construction method.
Timber is our material of choice. Correctly specified and designed, wood outperforms its competitors, offering not only aesthetic and tactile appeal but also superior insulation properties. It boasts low energy consumption during conversion and promotes efficient waste recycling.
As a crop cultivated and harvested sustainably, timber acts as a carbon sink, absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen. This aligns perfectly with our vision of creating harmony between boat building and the natural world, exemplifying our commitment to responsible practices.
Fit-out
The fit-out is all about making the boat come to life. Connecting the lines and joining the dots.
Optimised Powertrains Motors, propellers and batteries for the right situation.
Primary Components Needs and wants for the desired experience.
Precise Ancillaries Ensuring the network of little cogs keeps the big cogs moving.
Intricate Joinery The eye for detail that shines through.
Finishing
This is certainly very true in the boat building industry. However the final level of detailing - both the interior and exterior - is the one that gets noticed first.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
— Aristotle
Preparation To get the very best finish, preparation is everything.
Distinctive Customisation From discussing leather colours to the type of fenders used.
Exceptional finishing Modern, quick-drying products with proven successful results.
