W Bates & Son are one of the longest standing boatyards & marinas on the River Thames today, established years ago as "Taylor and Bates" building their first boats in the late 1800s. W Bates & Son was formed in 1934. During the war with over 150 employees, air sea rescue vessels, sea plane tenders and the like were built for the MOD.
Just after the war, the arrival of the famous and now classic Star Craft Boats went into production. W Bates & Son were the founding boat building company at the conception of the now London Boat Show, exhibiting a 25', 33' & 40' Star Craft in the "Marine Section" of the 1948 Motor Show in Olympia.
