The Sea Otter Factory

An Environment That Breeds Quality

Sea Otter craft are individually built in our modern, purpose-built factory and workshops. Modern equipment meets traditional skills to bring you a craft of the highest build, quality and finish which you rightly expect and deserve.

Located in the heart of Derbyshire, yet close to the M1 motorway, we are always pleased to see our customers and share their involvement in building their very own boat.

The recent completion of a second building on our complex accentuates our commitment to ensuring your Sea Otter is built in the best equipped environment. Along side our top of the range facilities, the real magic here at Sea Otter is worked by the men and women who contribute their unparalleled skill to the completion of your ideal boat. You can rest assured that when you invest in your dream you will have a dedicated team of personnel alongside you every step of the way.

Factory Virtual Tour

This factory tour will allow you to take a look around the Sea Otter factory as well as allowing you to develop an understanding of the production process involved in building a Sea Otter boat. This tour will hopefully give you a feel of the Sea Otter factory and help you appreciate the hard work and craftsmanship that goes into creating your ideal boat.

The Sea Otter site in Staveley, Derbyshire is dominated by our two main units which allow the construction of your boat to be completed entirely indoors. Unit 1 houses the fit-out and administrative functions whereas unit 2 is dedicated to boat fabrication.

Once you click the 'Start Tour' link below you will be taken to a fresh screen with a picture showing unit 1 on the left and unit 2 on the right. Here you can choose which unit to go into to start looking around and learning. Pictures will change down the right of the screen as you explore through our fine factory settings. The main picture in the centre will have "hotspots" on which when clicked will take you to another part of the factory. Enjoy!
