Our new super light, super strong fibreglass boats Sienna 19 and Secret 28 are available as sailing versions or as electric boats - Sienna 19 Solar/Electric and Secret 28 Solar/Electric. They comply with all international survey requirements and are suitable for commercial or private use.
Our craft are beautiful, stable, seakindly and surprisingly fast – see our reviews! Schools, outward bound operators and naval cadets own and sail Scruffie Marine boats.
The innovative timber kit boats, designed, manufactured and fine-tuned in Australia since 1992, have been exported around the world, built and sailed by amateurs and professionals alike.
United Kingdom agents, Whisper Boats, share our commitment to first class service – check out the “Whisper Club” on their web site for details of various build projects.
Our commercial range also includes the new Secret 28, sail or electric and on the drawing board, the Seychelle 37 solar/electric launch.
In addition to the standard range we offer a full consultation and custom design service from 60-foot houseboats and schooners, to electric passenger launches to 10-foot dinghies. If you have any questions or need any help in choosing your boat please email, phone or write to us and we will personally attend to your enquiry.

Derek Ellard introduces his new design service . . . . .
Probably the greatest pleasure in my life is design – the art of pure creativity. I relish a challenge, I thrive on tricky problems and solving them in a way that combines elegant engineering, pleasing aesthetics and efficient use of materials – it’s something I really cherish. So I am expanding that side of the business. Whereas most of my work has been on our production boats, we’ve had some nice commissions – the sea-going houseboat was one I particularly enjoyed as it took me right out of my comfortable ‘spirit of tradition’ zone.
This year I have drawn up eight new boats, some to an advanced stage. I draw with a sharp pencil and wouldn’t have it any other way. Of course by the time I’ve completed scale drawings and maybe built a half model, it’s time to get them scanned and computerised.
In addition to our proposed new boats I’d like to concentrate on developing your onw ideas – no matter what sort of boat you envisage. My fees are modest and you’ll get a professional’s idea of what’s workable. Email

or ring +61 (0) 7 5545 1015 to discuss your project.
Meanwhile, here’s an outline of the new boats – all of which can be production ready quite quickly. All of them trailerable, some like Selena only by a 3.5-tonne rated 4 x 4. See the new category Designer’s Portfolio. Drawings and more details soon.
