Butler & Co

Since 2006, Ashley Butler has been leading Butler & Co through new builds, restorations and the general business of boatyards. We have built over 15 traditional, new-build wooden boats and restored or refitted many more, from small day sailors, through 100 tonne Brixham trawlers to superyacht schooners.

Our Mission

Butler & Co aim to build wooden boats like no others by combining traditional materials and techniques with a modern twist. Our new builds are a design apart, drawing influence from Ashley's east coast heritage and our love of traditional West country working boats. When it comes to restorations, our aim is to preserve the spirit, the aesthetics and the feel of the vessel, while ensuring that she continues to sail for many decades to come.
