Our History
Seamark Nunn is now one of the longest established family-run boating businesses in the UK, having been originally started in 1961 by Mike & Rosemary Nunn. The company emerged as a boat building and chandlery business to support the growing boating community on the Suffolk & Essex Coast. From its inception, the company built up a solid reputation for fast racing dinghies in wood and later GRP, and during the late 1960s and 1970s was a favourite builder for the OK Dinghy, Solo and Optimist, the latter of which many were exported to Europe. In addition to the racing dinghy business, Seamark Nunn were dealers for yacht builders Rydgeway Marine in the 1970s & 80s and large numbers of their budget priced Pandora 22ft sailing yacht were sold by us around the East Coast.
