Looking for handcrafted ship models in Mauritius? Bobato Ship Models is a Mauritian workshop that has built wooden ship models by hand since 1990 — founded in Vacoas by Kadress Soobaroyen and now based in Curepipe.
Wooden ship models made in Mauritius
Each model is built from timber and plans: the hull is planked by hand, the masts are rigged by hand, and brass and zinc fittings are made in our own workshop.
A model for every collector
From famous tall ships to modern yachts and traditional fishing boats, the ship models collection covers a wide range of maritime history, with several models available in more than one size.
Custom ship models on request
Want a specific vessel? We build custom ship models from your photos or plans — a private yacht, a family boat or a historic ship. See custom-made ship models or contact the workshop.
Visit the showroom at 53A Sir John Pope Hennessy Street, Curepipe, Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00.
