Hello,
I'm new to this space but thought it was the best way to go about these things.
We have a 2001 5.0 V8 Chris Craft 210 and we're looking to attach a swim platform to the rear.

However, we cannot seem to find any suitable platforms in the UK. Are there companies out there who would build one specially?

Any advice would be great!

A Google search. There are several options out there.

If you search the forums, there were at least a couple members who bought a platform from one or another company; you might find some ideas of companies that did good work (or did not).

I have a 1999 Chris Craft 200 and I bought my swim platform from www.swimplatformsuperstore.com
On their website they state that they don't currently offer international shipping but that it will "change in the future". They also state that they will work with your shipper, so maybe you can arrange international shipping on your own if you choose to go with them. The platform comes in a crate which should be able to go just about anywhere.
Now, I did have a few problems with the company but in the end it was mostly resolved. First, they shipped me the wrong platform after I waited 11 weeks. This was in 2016, not Covid related. The company and I agreed that the platform could be modified to fit the contour of my boat in an effort to avoid shipping the platform back and waiting another 11 weeks for a replacement, so I hauled my boat to a fiberglass repair shop for them to do the modification. Initially, the swim platform company coordinated everything and offered to pay for both the labor and the installation. Once I arrived at the fiberglass shop, they gave me a different story, stating that the swim platform company told them that I was on the hook for the installation fee. The swim platform company wasn't fast to respond via email or phone calls, but all in all, it worked out. My family and I have really enjoyed the platform and it looks great and considering how small the previous swim platform on the boat was, I don't regret the addition at all. I don't know that I would buy from the same company again though.
Good luck!
