Our prices are very competitive and we are one of handful of companies that publish our prices on the web site. The only “complaint” we have had is that our prices may be too cheap, for the craftsmanship and quality of models that we offer!
We also offer our corporate clients the facility to work within their existing budget, and perhaps more importantly timelines.
Any model of any yacht, boat or ship to any size and level of detail at the most competitive price. We will beat any other quote for custom work by at least 5%.

Ship Model Quality
From our clients feedback, the quality of our ship models are second to none. Our Quality Control Director, checks every model ship whilst they being made and prior to shipment.
Which means your ship model comes to you having been through the strictest quality control.
Please note: All ship models in our Gold, Platinum and Custom Range are built from scratch using Plank on Frame (teak wood) craftsmanship, as the ships would have been made in history's 'bygone era'.
The sails are made from cotton with detailed rigging, the latter being to an exceptionally high quality.
We believe our customer references are the best judge of our quality, and second to none in our business.
