Situated in the heart of West Sussex, nearby to Chichester harbour and the South downs, Orkney is a leading manufacturer in the United Kingdom of Sea Angling, Sports and Leisure Craft.
We’ve been building boats for over 50 years and have earned an enviable reputation for tough, seaworthy craft that can be found all around the world.
Our hulls are instantly recognisable by their distinguishing classic lines and apparent simplicity; a result of thousands of hours of prototype testing in a wide variety of demanding sea conditions.
From Iceland to the South Pacific, Orkney boats can be seen in use by fishermen, harbour authorities, Coastguard and Police as well as by day cruisers and leisure boating families.
Chosen for their durability and flexibility, over 15,000 Orkney Boats have been manufactured, the majority of which are still going strong to this day.
The Orkney 592; Combines big boat sea keeping with comfort
Big and powerful, the 592 is designed to run offshore in comfort. The Nelson heritage becomes apparent in the way the hull handles rough water with ease whilst the 27” interior freeboard and self draining cockpit add to the feeling of safety and security.
There is the option of a folding dodger or GRP cuddy to keep the elements at bay. The purposeful steering console fitted with no feedback steering has plenty of space for electronics and useful stowage underneath. Elsewhere there is an abundance of locker space. Combining 27 knot performance, superb sea keeping and handling with stability both at rest and when underway the 592 is a market leader for this sized hull.
