Kingsground Narrowboats unveil Beatrice, a luxury 58ft cruiser stern boat built for Lakeland Leisure, featuring oak interiors, top-end fittings, and a striking modern design.
Kingsground Narrowboats celebrates its 100th build with Oak, a 58ft tug-style narrowboat combining classic design, off-grid innovation, and handcrafted British workmanship.
Kingsground was founded in 1993 by Richard Haynes. Richard's desire to produce bespoke narrowboats to the highest possible standard led to the creation of Kingsground. The pride taken in Richard's work was reflected in the quality of the first two boats to bear the Kingsground name and quickly established a demand for craft of their distinctive style and finish quality, leading Kingsground to expand into the thriving business that it is today.
With over 100 boats built and launched, Kingsground continues to turn heads on the waterways with a steady flow of unique, handcrafted narrowboats.
Recent builds have pushed creative boundaries while staying true to Kingsground’s reputation for quality and attention to detail. From striking show boats to peaceful floating homes, we’re proud to help each customer bring their ideal life afloat to reality, one boat at a time.
