Tingdene appointed sole retailer for Banks Martin inland cruisers

The British high quality builder of luxury river boats, Banks Martin, will be represented by all nine Tingdene Boat Sales offices. We have Beaulieu inland cruisers lined up for Spring 2022 delivery.

Kidderminster brand Banks Martin new to the market

Banks Martin may be a new name in boatbuilding. However, the company’s two directors have a background in iconic British boat brands. Based in Kidderminster, the new boat brand are looking to build on the traditions of the past. All the while introducing a higher standard of craft to the inland industry.

The Beaulieu 30 is the first of it’s range of boats aimed at river cruising. The Banks Martin 30 and other planned models will fill the gap in the marketplace for high end inland craft. We’re please to announce that Tingdene Boat Sales have been appointed the retailing agents from all nine of their offices.

At first glance, the boat appears much bigger than its just-under 30ft length would suggest. It certainly looks far more refined and modern than many of the surrounding GRP cruisers on the river. It has a low-wash semi-displacement hull, ideal for low-speed cruising.

Beaulieu 30 available in two versions

The Beaulieu 30 is available in two versions. Choose from hard top or soft top with folding screens, propulsion from inboard diesel, electric, electric/hybrid or outboard.

The boat was designed for use in the inland waterways. Featuring low side decks which are flat around the entire boat, a bathing platform astern and flat walkthrough access to the aft cockpit.

Inside, the Beaulieu 30 is very light and spacious with all around cabin window. Features include glazed skylights and an open plan cabin with seating in the form of dinette or sofa. There’s also an entertainment area, large galley, and berths forward. A generous sized wet room featuring shower and heads, of dimensions rarely found on 40ft-plus boats. You’ll also find a separate sleeping area, single on the shaft drive boats and double with outboard, hydraulic drive and e-drive options.
