Whether you are a seasoned mariner or a first-time buyer, choosing a vessel is a significant decision. While online research is a vital first step, there is no substitute for the tactile experience of stepping aboard. At The Wolf Rock Boat Company, based in the heart of South Devon, we have spent nearly two decades helping enthusiasts find their perfect match among our extensive range of new and used boats.

Our 8,000 sq. ft. showroom in Churchstow, near Kingsbridge, is more than just a retail space; it is a destination where the world's leading RIB brands—most notably BRIG—come to life alongside our high-performance IRON and GALA ranges.



What makes The Wolf Rock Boat Company different from other UK boat dealers?

We are often asked why customers travel from across the country to visit us. As one of the top-rated new and used boat dealers in the UK, our difference lies in our heritage and our vertical integration. Founded in 2007, we aren't just salespeople; we are passionate boaters and fully qualified marine engineers who have been the sole UK distributors for BRIG since 2011.


Unlike many dealers, we manage every stage of the journey. From our 10-acre site and dedicated workshop, we handle everything from bespoke rigging to long-term servicing. When you buy a BRIG Eagle or Navigator from us, you aren't just buying a boat; you are joining a community supported by a team that understands every technical detail of your vessel.


Is it better to buy a new or used boat for my first purchase?

The choice between new and used boats often comes down to your personal priorities and budget.

  • New Boats: Opting for a new BRIG Eagle 8 or a Navigator 26 offers the peace of mind of full manufacturer warranties and the latest in marine technology. You have the freedom to customise hull colours, upholstery, and electronics.

  • Used Boats: Our dedicated brokerage yard often features high-quality pre-owned models like the BRIG Navigator 485 or the luxury Eagle 6.7. Buying used can be a fantastic way to access a premium RIB at a lower entry price. Every used boat we sell undergoes a rigorous inspection by our in-house engineers to ensure it meets our strict standards.


How do I know which boats and outboards work together?

Matching the right hull with the correct power unit is an art form. As the UK’s largest supplier of Suzuki Outboards, we specialise in creating "turn-key" packages. For instance, we might pair a BRIG Navigator 24 with a Suzuki DF250 for high-performance adventure, or an Eagle 4 with a DF50 for effortless tender duties. Our team ensures the engine's weight and horsepower are perfectly balanced for the boat's design, ensuring fuel efficiency and safety.


What can I expect when visiting the Wolf Rock showroom?

Visiting our showroom is a relaxed, informative experience designed to help you explore the best selection of new and used boats in the South West. You can expect:

  • Side-by-Side Comparisons: View the BRIG Navigator series—built for rugged "SUV" style adventures—next to the BRIG Eagle range, which focuses on luxury family cruising.

  • Expert Guidance: Our team is on hand to answer technical questions over a coffee, walking you through seating layouts and the latest Garmin electronics.

  • Hands-on Access: Open the hatches, sit at the helm, and feel the quality of the ORCA Hypalon tubes and GRP finishes.
