Our makers in Mauritius shape, plank and rig each model entirely by hand — a single piece can take hundreds of hours. No moulds, no shortcuts; only patience and gallery-level finishing worthy of a lifetime in your collection.
Born from a love of the sea and the discipline of the hand, every Bobato model carries the marks of patience, heritage and precision. We build pieces meant to be admired for generations.
Read the Bobato story1/100th Scale Oyster 62 Yacht. Following a visit to the Bobato Workshop/Showroom in 2024, I recently commissioned a custom model which has just been delivered. Right from the start Kadress at Bobato Ship was excellent and I am delighted with the final result. True Mauritius boat building craftsmanship.

A wonderful visit to this magical place, worthy of a museum! The historic boats have been marvelously reconstructed by a team of passionate craftsmen. We fell in love with a Riva! Thank you for your hospitality!

A magnificent shop with numerous model boats, each more incredible than the last. The seller is very helpful and passionate. I treated myself to the original Penduick, with a varnished wooden hull, of Éric Tabarly. The packaging is also perfect for air travel. Top-notch!

The models are fantastic; they make you want to break the bank. They can even ship them securely in a crate.

A must-see if you like model making; everything is handmade, from the sails to the cannons.

Amazing shop of replicas of sailing ships, many models are famous historical ships such as Victory, Santa Maria, S. Trinidad and Unicorn. The models are assembled, with prices that, when checked later, were almost the same as similar kits to assemble.

We went there to get a gift for our CEO and were amazed by the work produced on the different boats.
