Yard Work & Annual Servicing
Yard Work & Annual Servicing involves essential maintenance tasks carried out to ensure your vessel remains in optimal condition and complies with safety standards. Yard work typically includes hauling out the boat for inspections, hull cleaning, antifouling, and repairs to underwater components. Annual servicing covers critical checks and maintenance of mechanical systems, such as engine servicing, fluid changes, and replacing filters. Inspecting electrical systems, plumbing, and safety equipment are part of this service as well. These services are crucial for preventing wear and tear, enhancing performance, and preparing your boat for a safe and enjoyable season on the water.

Engineering & Electronics
Boat engineering encompasses the maintenance, repair, and optimisation of a vessel’s mechanical and electrical systems to ensure reliable performance and safety. This includes servicing engines, gearboxes, and propulsion systems, as well as troubleshooting any issues that may arise. Electrical work, such as battery maintenance, wiring checks and navigation equipment repairs also falls under boat engineering. Whether it's routine servicing, system upgrades, or emergency repairs, professional boat engineering ensures that all technical aspects of your vessel are operating safely.

GRP & Gelcoat Repair
GRP and Gelcoat Repair involves restoring the structural integrity and appearance of a vessels hull and surface. GRP is commonly used in boat construction for its strength and lightweight properties, whilst gelcoat is the outer layer that provides a smooth, glossy finish. Over time both can suffer from cracks, chips and other damage from impacts or general wear and tear. GRP repair involves reinforcing the damaged areas with fibreglass and ensuring the boat retains its strength and durability. Gelcoat repair restores the cosmetic appearance by filling in cracks or gouges then refinishing the surface to its original gloss. This ensures both the functionality and aesthetics of the vessel are preserved.

Boat Building
Boat building is the craft of designing, constructing, and assembling a vessel from the ground up. It involves selecting and working with materials such as wood, fiberglass, aluminum, or steel depending on the type of boat being built. The process includes creating the hull, deck, and superstructure. This is then followed by installing critical systems like engines, plumbing, electrical wiring and safety features. Boat builders combine precision craftsmanship with engineering expertise to ensure the vessel is both structurally sound and efficient on the water. Whether building custom yachts, motorboats, or smaller vessels, boat building is a meticulous art that requires specialised knowledge of both materials and maritime design principles.

Coatings
Underwater Coatings for Long-Lasting Protection. Underwater coatings, like copper coating and epoxy coatings, help protect your boat’s hull from marine growth and damage. Copper coatings work by slowly releasing copper ions, which naturally prevent fouling, reducing maintenance and improving fuel efficiency. Epoxy coatings provide a strong, waterproof barrier that helps prevent osmosis and extends the life of your boat. Both options offer long-term protection, keeping your hull smooth and your vessel performing at its best with less cleaning and upkeep.
