We are here to bridge the gap between concept and delivery, providing not only proven vessel designs but a comprehensive service that supports shipyards, operators, and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
Our approach goes beyond traditional naval architecture. We conduct site visits to understand operational environments and client requirements firsthand, ensuring each design is tailored to real-world conditions. Every project is supported with detailed 3D models and immersive VR tours, enabling stakeholders to visualise layouts, workflows, and performance before construction begins. This reduces risk, streamlines approvals, and makes tendering and proposals more transparent and efficient.
Our portfolio includes Emergency Service craft, Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), Aquaculture platforms, and Patrol vessels. Each design demonstrates our commitment to British design with global trust, delivering vessels that perform reliably across diverse marine sectors.
Workboat Designs is proud to collaborate with Walker Marine Design (WMD), a leading force in commercial naval architecture. Since its establishment in 2013, WMD has built a reputation for delivering vessels that combine engineering precision, operational reliability, and innovative design solutions.
The WMD team brings decades of collective expertise across multiple marine sectors, applying advanced methodologies such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling, tank testing, and full-scale performance validation. This rigorous approach ensures that every hull form achieves optimal seakeeping, efficiency, and durability, meeting or exceeding client expectations in real-world conditions.
From crew transfer vessels and patrol craft to aquaculture platforms and emergency service boats, WMD’s portfolio demonstrates versatility and technical excellence. Their designs are trusted by operators worldwide, reflecting a commitment to British naval architecture with global impact.
By partnering with WMD, Workboat Designs offers clients not only proven vessel concepts but the assurance of working with a design house that consistently delivers innovation, compliance, and lifecycle value. Together, we provide a complete service, from concept development and visualisation to construction support, ensuring vessels are fit for purpose and future-ready.
