Message from the Owner

Robertsons Boatyard sits on the banks of the river Deben, opposite Sutton Hoo and within the beautiful market town of Woodbridge. Records show that the site has been used for trade and boatbuilding since the Middle Ages. Robertsons was established in the early 1880s to build small wooden yachts for the leisure market. The yard remained in the hands of the Robertson family for three generations and continues to trade under their name today.

Although no longer owned by a Robertsons, the yard is still a family-owned business. In recent years there has been significant investment. With the underlying aim of ensuring the traditional boatyard skills and service are retained for future generations, some diversification and modernisation has been introduced. We are probably most proud of the Crow’s Nest, our stunning 1st & 2ndfloor, three-bedroom apartment in such a unique setting.

Guests at the Crow’s Nest love the changing views from the two terraces, from the tranquillity of dawn on the river to the hustle of boatyard activities (Monday to Friday), kayakers and passing sail boats during the day, followed by the still of the evening. Wildlife is abundant on the river; we’ve even had a seal visit our slipway. Guests are also welcome to bring their own kayak or rib to use our slipway, book one of our bespoke river trips or book some time to use our on-site co-working space.

We look forward to welcoming you.
