Cabin Fit-Outs
Complete Timber Interiors for Classic and Custom Boats
At Sutherland Joinery, we offer full cabin fit-out services, delivering bespoke interior joinery for traditional wooden vessels and all other craft. From structural bulkheads and berth frames to fine cabinetry and lockers, every element is crafted with precision, practicality, and respect for the character of your boat.
Whether you’re restoring a classic yacht or fitting out a newly built hull, we bring thoughtful design, marine-grade materials/finishes, and skilled workmanship to every detail.
Built to Fit, Designed to Last
We design and install interiors that make the most of your onboard space, combining strength, comfort, and visual appeal. Every part is made to measure, ensuring a perfect fit and efficient use of available space.
Our cabin joinery includes:
Bulkheads – Structural partitions fitted with accuracy for strength and layout integrity
Berth Frames & Seating – Solid timber bed bases, bench seating, and dinettes designed for use and storage
Lockers & Storage – Cupboards, drawers, and lift-top lockers built for practicality and ease of access
Cabinetry & Shelving – Elegant hardwood cabinetry, book racks, and chart storage tailored to your needs
Sole Boards & Flooring – Durable, removable timber flooring laid to match the cabin's contours and style
We work with high-quality timbers such as teak, oak, mahogany, and marine ply, selected for strength, longevity, and a finish that suits your vessel’s aesthetic.
Thoughtful Design, Traditional Craft
Our approach balances functionality with tradition. Whether your boat calls for clean, modern simplicity or the warm, detailed joinery of a classic interior, we shape each space to reflect its purpose and history. Joinery can be finished with marine varnish, oil, or paint depending on your preference.
Every element is considered:
Timber grain and joinery details
Concealed fixings for a clean interior look
Ventilation, access hatches, and practical hardware
Coordination with electrical and plumbing layouts
Restoration & Refit Projects
We also undertake interior restoration and partial refits, carefully removing, repairing, or recreating timber components. Where possible, we retain original materials and reproduce detailing to maintain the boat’s authenticity. We can work from existing layouts or help you redesign the cabin to improve function and comfort.
