When a business executive came to Shoreline with a vision for something beyond ordinary, the challenge was clear: create a vessel that combined lightness, power, comfort, and durability in one spectacular package. Today, that vision is reality.
A Vessel Built to Impress

This bespoke aluminium craft is not just another boat — it’s a statement. Designed to be powerful yet refined, it carries the executive in style while maintaining the rugged strength required for serious offshore performance. Every line, every weld, and every detail was approached with precision, ensuring the end result is both functional and breathtaking.
Corrosion Protection That Lasts
Aluminium is an excellent choice for marine environments, but only when paired with world-class protection. The Shoreline team turned to Altex Marine’s advanced corrosion protection system, ensuring the vessel is safeguarded against the harshest conditions. This system delivers long-term durability with minimal maintenance, meeting the high expectations of a client who demanded nothing less than excellence.
Precision in the Primer
Protection was only the beginning. The primer system was carefully engineered to achieve a true and fair finish — the perfect foundation for the topcoat.
The process began with Altex Altra-Bond 3094 corrosion protection primer, followed by Altex Epoxy Primer to seal the substrate. With this protective base in place, the team moved into the filling and fairing stage, applying Jotafair Fairing Compound to refine the hull’s contours.
Next came the Altex Epoxy High Build Surfacer, a critical layer in the fairing system. Applied at up to 500 microns in a single application, it levels and smooths the surface to an exceptional degree. Finally, to prepare for the finishing stages, all painted parts received a coat of Awlgrip 545 Finishing Epoxy Primer, a great product for delivering a flawless substrate.
This meticulous sequence not only provides outstanding durability but also creates a perfectly smooth surface ready for topcoat. The result is a custom built vessel that reflects light with precision, highlighting Shoreline’s craftsmanship at every stage of the build.
Comfort Meets Performance
Power and protection were only part of the brief. The client wanted a vessel that was also comfortable, ensuring both business and leisure trips would be enjoyed in style. From the spacious interior to the quiet, efficient performance on the water, this boat redefines what it means to own a truly bespoke craft.
Shoreline’s Signature
For Shoreline, this project is more than a success story — it’s proof of their ability to take bold ideas and bring them to life with engineering precision and artisanal care. The boat now stands as a testament to modern boatbuilding, marrying strength with elegance, and protection with performance.
Final Word
This bespoke aluminium vessel is a striking reminder that when you demand the best, Shoreline delivers. Built for a business executive who wanted something truly spectacular, it’s a boat that will turn heads at every harbour while performing flawlessly for years to come.
