About Marea

The small details that make the bigger picture

We can build a scale model of any ship, at any size. Working from your drawings, or from none at all.

Marea is far more than a model maker. It is a ‘haute craftsmanship’ maison, a creative studio in miniature, where a model is something to live with, not a replica to display and forget.

Our Ranges

Two Tides

Every Marea model or bespoke commission belong to one of the two following ranges:

The Signature Range
High Tide

Marea’s haute craftsmanship, with nothing held back. Every High Tide model carries the maximum detail the scale permits, finished with a finesse made to be inspected up close. Guided by full creative direction and 3D visualisation, each piece is Marea at full expression. A model of quiet luxury, considered in every detail, made to be admired closely. Acrylic display case included.

High Tide Gallery
The Standard Range
Low Tide

Marea craftsmanship, made more attainable. Every Low Tide model distils each vessel to its essential character: a more restrained level of detailing that still carries the Marea eye for the lines that matter. Production times run longer and the finish is kept refined rather than exhaustive, which is what makes the range more accessible.

For those who want an attainable model, this is the place to begin.

What We Build

Any vessel. Any scale. With or without plans.

We can build a scale model of any ship, at any size. Working from your drawings, or from none at all. Through partnerships with maritime museums and yacht clubs around the world, we can recover the lines and detail of almost any vessel, whether still afloat or sunk to the seabed centuries ago.

AI Reconstruction

We have developed an in-house AI model that reconstructs lost or sunken vessels from the few traces they leave, matching each one to its type and era.
