Welcome to our Caribbean page.

Introduction to our Caribbean Venture

We have just started marketing kits to the Eastern Caribbean islands, specifically those served by Geest Line, who provide very reasonable freight rates from the UK.  Our experience so far is with kits going to St Lucia, where proprietor Alec Jordan lived for many years.  We therefore have local contacts there for the supply of the additional materials required to complete the boats.  We are in the process of making contact with potential suppliers on the other islands.

This is a new venture for us, and we will have much to learn, but we believe that the interest is there. 

Different conditions apply to kits sold to the Eastern Caribbean, these being...

+  The prices quoted include the plans for the boats where the designer is happy for us to resell plans.  Please remember that if you don't see the boat you want to build in the list, we can make up kits for new designs.

+  The shipping costs given below are illustrative only.  Some of the shipping cost is paid in US Dollars and some in Sterling, so there is a variation depending on the current exchange rate.  We will obtain a confirmed quote at the time of order.

+  The shipping costs are based on the volume of the kit(s) rather than weight.  Shipping costs are given on the landed price and do not include any customs duties or clearance costs. 

+  Freight terminal handling charges vary between the ports.  The costs below are given for shipping to St Lucia and Antigua.  Geest Line are very quick in providing quotes for shipping kits; usually within a day.  Please bear in mind that the shipping cost will also include delivery from us to the ship and packaging.

+  Though Geest Line calls at Fort-de-France and Manzanillo, we regret that we are unable to ship kits to these ports as this is for offloading containerised cargo only.
