McCaig and Napier has its roots in The Napier Co. (Arbroath) Ltd. This respected naval architecture consultancy needs no introduction to many in the marine industry, having, since its inception in 1969, created and maintained a reputation for expert design and the highest standard of marine consultancy. Napier boats are known worldwide for their robust stability and excellent trimming characteristics, and for a closely tailored design philosophy which means they fit their role and operating environment like a glove, while retaining all the adaptability of their off-the-peg competitors. Other distinguishing features of the Napier design philosophy are attention to detail and extensive research into the operating environment, methods, challenges and background of each individual project.

McCaig and Napier became part of Marine Design International in 2005, together with McCaig Watson and Simon Cormack Naval Architecture. The Napier design philosophy is one of the key elements in our Total Design approach, and we remain the only authorised source of past Napier designs.
