I guess a "regulation" boat shoe has moccasin construction and rubber soles. The Weston version, which is a sort of caricature of a boat shoe, turns out to be a very useful article in my wardrobe. There is a level of casual beneath business casual, call it "weekend casual, with which the Weston goes perfectly.

Beretta manufactures a similar shoe (here http://www.beretta.com/index.aspx?m=53&did=112). I have not seen this and undoubtedly it would not be as elegant as the Weston version.

Does anyone have similarly elegant shoes to recommend for leisure wear?

Lobb Paris makes one

I haven't tried them yet but Russell Moccasin looks promising, despite the clunky website. They promise reasonably priced custom fit deck shoes, although I understand they struggle to keep up with customer demand.

Has anyone experience of Russell Moccasin?

I was out shopping today and picked up a very nice pair of boat shoes - Allen Edmonds 'Eastport'. British Tan, also available in brown and navy. Very nice construction.
