Exciting Changes Coming to

The Boatyard in 2026

In preparation for the arrival of our brand-new Travelift this December, and the upcoming yard works required to accommodate the larger machine, the boatyard will be closing for a little longer than usual this year.

🔧 The yard will close on Friday, 19th December 2025, and reopen in late January 2026.
If you’re planning to haul out this year, be sure to book early for November and December to secure your spot!

Our new Marine Straddle Carrier will significantly expand our lifting capabilities. From January 2026, we’ll be able to handle vessels up to 50 tonnes with a maximum beam of 6.5 metres – allowing us to service much larger boats right here, without the need to travel.

📅 Now taking bookings for 2026 – plan ahead to keep your annual maintenance on schedule!

The arrival of this new equipment marks a major upgrade to our facilities, and we’re excited to share this next chapter with you. Stay tuned for updates as work progresses!
