It all starts here. You've dreamed and planned, researched and tested. We build offshore and inland vessels for the most discerning clients, and all of them become friends. We're boat owners as well as boatbuilders, so we've created a bespoke service we'd want for ourselves or our own families. From the moment you choose a Haines boat to the day you launch her, we take you on a journey with us.
You'll be invited to the yard, see your boat in all its build stages and make those important decisions with us, down to every detail. We've built an international reputation for boatbuilding to the highest standards and quality. While our designs are contemporary, and our techniques state-of-the-art, our product and approach are traditional.

Services
We're family-run and our business has stood the test of time. Since 1980, our family name has been synonymous with excellence. Founded by Bob and Mary Haines, they set the values we continue to stand by: trust, quality, and tradition. Our father always wanted to build boats and began with canoes in the family garage.
Offshore cruisers are our flagship vessels. Built entirely on-site, choose from four or six berth sedan cruisers with double en-suite cabins and generous galleys, to 32ft cruisers with clever guest accommodation. Whatever model you select, all of our boats have superior sea-going abilities.
Designed for navigating and enjoying the inland waterways of Europe, our range of boats have plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying time with friends and family.Generous storage, elegant design, effortless control - above deck and below, these are river/estuary-going vessels that will take you where you want to go.

We're a traditional company that does things our own way. And we do them for a reason. We know what our customers value, and we value more than just the bottom line. We create an experience that you'll remember for a lifetime. And there are endless possibilities to create the bespoke boat you've always wanted.
Quality is our top priority and we fit only the best components. Our boats have a year's warranty and many key components have longer warranties, including the engines. We pride ourselves on taking care of our customers - from winterising and maintaining our boats. And our quality controls are so rigorous during the build, we eliminate the risk of warranty issues.
We believe a Haines vessel is an investment. Because we don't saturate the market with our boats, our resale value remains high. Haines boats hold their money better, and whether you buy new or stock, you won't compete with hundreds of other boats that are just the same. Based in the Netherlands, family-run Smelne is responsible for the sales and distribution of Haines craft in Benelux and Germany.
