Shipping Worldwide Since 2001

Bespoke Model Ships & Boats

The models within Premier Ship Models’ Custom range are exceptional. The diversity of yacht models created within this range is outstanding as they not only cover model ships but, ready-made model plane, powerboat models, rowing boats and custom model ship designs. This is an integral part of our offering and over the years we have seen this area becoming more and more important to us. We can create a custom model ship of any vessel to any size, and have done so for collectors, nautical history enthusiasts, museums, yacht designers and the corporate yachting and shipping world.

Our skilled craftsmen have shown off their expertise, creativity and sheer determination stretched to the fullest when producing these custom model ships. Our dedicated team work alongside our clients adhering to our internal custom build process to produce amazing works of art! You can view some examples of these beautiful custom ship models that we have built for collectors in the UK and throughout the world on our website.

The price for the first custom model ship or yacht model (known as the Master) is usually higher than the price charged for subsequent models. The reason for this difference in price is because of the time and labor involved in this intensive process of building the initial custom model ship. There is a great deal of time spent on research, design and planning for each custom model plane or ship to ensure that the model is an exact replica of the original vessel.

The model yachts and boat models in our Custom range were originally a bespoke design for one of our clients. The prices currently listed on our website for these models are for the second and subsequent models, not the first custom design. You may find a yacht model in our custom range that fits your needs, or you can contact us to design a custom model boat for your collection.

If you are interested in having a Custom made Ship Model, contact us by email with information about your requirements and the ship you want custom designed. We will send a short form and a quote by email for your ship or yacht model in your chosen currency. After you approve the quote, we will begin the process of handcrafting a vessel to your exact specifications.

Please browse the Custom Range Section of our website to see some of the custom designs and read what our customers have to say about our custom models.

There has been an increase in the number of Custom Made Ship Models commissioned from Premier Ship Models in the last year namely, HMS Cockchafer, Queen Elizabeth HMS Warspite, Nicolas Container ship or Ocean Rowing boat. Further, ship models of Coweslip Flying Fifteen, Grady 366 yacht, Princess 21M or SAP Catamaran are some of the extraordinary recently launched yacht models worth browsing.

  Wonderful historic ship models with high quality design and materials. My one complaint is that the instructions can be too brief and obscure. For instance, in the Chinese Junk model, there was no indication on how to affix the sail battens to the sails. By improvisation, I used needle and thread plus lots of glue. Clearer instruction would help.

  Purchased one of the expert build models. Have been working on it in spare time for about 6 months. The hull is almost complete. The material is spot on with specs, Quality material, laser cut and accurate. Definitely  an expert project but well worth it and the time.

  I'm 7 months into building a FIFIE and have a few weeks to go.
instructions are mostly  clear and drawings are accurate.
I think I would like to add a motor but failed in the contact to enable it.  It's me ,.I know. !  The buying experience and model parts are excellent although I've had to adapt some to make the model both look better and fit better.  I'll buy another model boat later this year.

  I recently purchased the Prosperity FPSO model from Premiership Models, and overall, it has been an impressive retirement gift for a colleague

The attention to detail in this model is outstanding. The intricate elements like the helideck, cranes, piping, and storage tanks are meticulously crafted and look very realistic. The materials used, feel solid and high-quality and the finish is smooth, and the paintwork is clean and vibrant, without any smudging or uneven areas

This model perfectly captures the scale and proportions of the real Prosperity FPSO. The overall layout of key components such as the flare tower, lifeboats, and mooring systems is accurate when compared to reference images of the actual vessel. It really feels like a scaled-down version of the real thing, with remarkable attention to realism.

Given the quality of craftsmanship and the accuracy of the model, I believe this was a great value for the price. It’s clear a lot of work went into creating this piece, and it shows in the final product. For anyone who is a fan of maritime models or specifically looking for an FPSO, this is a worthy investment.

Premiership Models provided excellent customer service throughout the process. My inquiries about the delivery timeline were answered promptly, and the model arrived on time as promised. They were professional and helpful, making the overall purchase experience smooth and stress-free.

The model was packed very securely, with layers of protective material ensuring it arrived in perfect condition.

I am also a collector of model ships especially LNG tankers and FPSO’s and bought models from all over the world and would highly recommend Premier Ships to maritime enthusiasts.

In conclusion, the Prosperity FPSO model from Premiership Models is a beautifully crafted piece that is both accurate and visually striking and offers great value for the money.
