Gunfleet Marine

Active: 2010 – 2020

Before creating Gunfleet, Founder, Richard Matthews, spent over 35 years building up one of the UK’s most successful yacht companies, Oyster, which he sold in 2008. Looking for a new challenge, the idea of utilising all these years of experience to form a new yacht building brand proved irresistible and the Gunfleet range of performance, variable draft cruising yachts was launched.

The Gunfleet brand was operated by Windboats Marine. Moulding and fitting out was carried out at their two sites in Norfolk, then the yachts are launched and commissioned at Fox’s Marina in Ipswich, where the Sales Office is located.

Both Gunboat and Windboats Marine closed doors in 2020 (due to the Covid pandemic)
