The Boatyard
The Eastwood Whelpton team includes several specialist boat builders with decades of knowledge and experience between them.
We’re very lucky to have such an experienced crew in our Norfolk workshop to care for our Hire Fleet, but they also enjoy carrying out work on other boats – including their own! Whether it’s a complete restoration or just a fresh coat of varnish, their hard work and skill are the secret to our brilliantly turned out hire fleet!
Get in touch if you have a boat building project you’d like to discuss.
Testimonials
“We had a fantastic trip aboard Windjammer. The staff at Eastwood Whelpton were very helpful and the boat was clean and tidy on arrival. All social distancing was maintained as we did the introduction before setting sail.”
Richard Hirst
“Best way to unwind… in the wind! After the fun and excitement of arriving and setting sail, you can feel life’s pressures falling away. Eastwood Whelpton is a lovely family owned boatyard on the beautiful Norfolk Broads. A short stay gives you just enough time to sail up to Hickling and Horsey, two lovely sailing destinations, where you can experience life at a pace it is meant to be. Cannot wait until we go again!”
Caroline & Jeremy Naylor
“So good we went twice summer 2020! Lovely friendly yard, great service, boats well kept and in good condition. Ropes replaced when getting worn, which is so important for enjoying sailing. Goodie bag and pint of milk in the fridge on arrival – they really take care of you.”
Pippa & Stewart Yuill
