Celebrating over 10 years of world class design and expertise.

The backstory

After working together for several years Chris and Pete teamed up in 2013 to provide production focused composite vessel design and engineering to the marine industry.  FISH was born.  Their hunch was that the combination of Chris' strong background in shop floor boat building design combined with Pete's passion for vessel design, on an arguably geeky level, would be a winning formula. It wasn't a glamorous start, but hard work and determination certainly paid off.

10 years on and FISH’s back catalogue proves the hunch was right.  Whether it’s partnerships with leading brands, innovative craft operated globally or growth in our inhouse expertise, we take immense pride in FISH, and the team that make up our business.  Today we are thrilled to have a number of diverse highly skilled designers and engineers, each credible in their own right, and each contributing to who we are.

 We are extremely proud of the strong personable team we have built up and the industry partners whom we continue to work with. 

Our biggest testament, repeat business - it says it all really.
