At J Craft, it's all about the detail. The touch of the leather, the weight of the switch, the hinge action - simple things, imperceptible to most, but that subliminally add to the pleasure of owning a Torpedo.
The Torpedo sets itself apart through its impeccable build quality as it is hand-built from the bottom up, with over 8,000 + Swedish (wo)man-hours going into each Torpedo.
Our masterbuilders only utilize the finest component parts and latest technology with well over 95% of the Torpedo value-added "Made in Sweden".
This is a significant differentiation between J Craft and most other brands in its segment who mostly only assemble their boats, with components actually "made" elsewhere.
This point is important to us as we are proud of the fact that each client can trace each component part of their Torpedo to one of our Swedish masterbuilders who built it.
The Rolls-Royce of the Sea
J Craft is often referred to as the Rolls Royce of the Sea, as like its land based counterpart the J Craft Torpedo is truly built for the FEW, but appreciated by the MANY.
No two J Craft Torpedos are ever the same. The unique and individual nature of the wood veneers alone guarantees this fact. It is also true to say that each boat that leaves the J Craft manufacturing facility in Gotland is a unique expression of an individual, of their desire to stand out, to be seen.
The Torpedo's cultivated, rainforest free mahogany is sourced from West Africa. We lacquer and varnish the veneer eighteen times for a peerless finish as well as incredible strength and durability.
As well as looking beautiful, it means that the Torpedo can withstand the harshest of the elements while still retaining her film star good looks.
