What we do

One yard, every trade on board

Refit, repair and fit-out under one roof — so a job crosses between trades without waiting on outside contractors.

Carpentry & joinery

Cabinetry, cabin soles and structural timber work, matched to the boat's original joinery.

Marine engineering

Installs, servicing and repairs across mechanical systems, drives and running gear.

Electrical

12V and shore-power systems, batteries, switch panels and fault-finding, wired to standard.

GRP & paint

Gelcoat and fibreglass repair, osmosis work and topside finishing, colour-matched throughout.

Teak installation

New decks and repairs — laid, caulked and finished for grip and a clean traditional line.

12V climate control

Supply and fit of Blue-Airco air conditioning — sized, mounted and commissioned for your cabin.

Parts that turn up,
fitted by people who stay

We draw on Tides Marine, a supplier of essential marine components to the industry since 1981. That means the right part, sourced quickly, and a workshop that stands behind the fit long after you've left the pontoon.

Whether it's a full refit or a single retrofit, the same crew sees the job from quote to sea trial.
