Ordering & Delivery Information
Viewing
You are welcome to come and see our boats to discuss bespoke modifications and see them in the wood before making a purchase. If you are keen to buy one on the day do not forget your roof rack or trailer! - Please contact us to make an appointment.
Pricing
The basic model is priced at £4500-£5000. If you would prefer to have just a finished hull with gunwales and decks but no seats or carrying thwart this could be offered at a discount. It is perfectly possible to paddle whilst sitting on the base on a camping mat or cushion as an alternative to seats. Another alternative might be to purchase a kit from us for around £1000 and to make your own and I am happy to provide help and advice for you as you work on your build.
The made to order option can be from £4500 upwards and the modification could even be something as simple as a small inlay of a piece of timber from H.M.S Victory added to the decks or a nameplate. Please be aware that these canoes take approximately six to eight weeks to complete depending on specification.
Lead Time
It is our intention to keep one complete canoe ready for sale and make specials to order (see above)
Payment
50% deposit required on all commissions, full payment required once your item is completed and before item is collected/ delivered.
Payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque, although we will have to wait for cheques to clear.
Collection & Delivery
Delivery of canoes particularly overseas can take some time to organise and we can organise this or you might like to organise it yourself. Whichever way it happens it is important not to rush the process and do it once your canoe is complete and the varnish has had time to fully harden. The easiest way to transport a canoe is on a roof rack on top of a car, that way it requires no packing or putting into a crate. The most affordable option and that which most clients use is to collect it from us this way.
If you wish us to arrange shipping for you we will need your destination details and will start by getting you a quote. Please be aware that you will need to pay any import export duties that apply. All payments for shipping will need to be paid in advance and if you also need separate insurance then this will have to be organised by yourselves.
Collection from our workshop is free of charge. Delivery within 20 miles is £50.00, 20 to 50 miles £100.00 and over 50 miles is P.O.A. Collection by river (Nene) is also free! Please remember to book an appointment before arriving.
Returns
Please be aware that whilst we will accept returns they will only be accepted in unused undamaged condition and cost of transport will be at your expense.
Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding our terms and conditions of purchase.
