Boat Handling and Slipways

With a 15ton hydraulic hoist we can handle both yachts and motor boats up to 37ft in length and drawing 6ft.  Boats on trailers can be launched and retrieved on one of our two slipways either by the owners themselves or by the yard staff.  There is a pontoon for loading/unloading and ease of access (2 hours either side of high tide) for those who find the trip in a wobbly tender a bit unnerving.

Mid season/racing scrub

Tides permitting it is possible to come alongside the quay for a scrub either to be carried out by us or by yourself.  Just call the office to check availability.

Boat Building, Refits and Repairs

Freshwater Boatyard has three workshops.  One of the workshops is leased to Jon Leach who works on both wooden and GRP boats.  Examples of Jon's work can be found on his website at www.leachboatyardbuilders.co.uk

The other two workshops are used for painting and coating repairs.  Boats up to 28ft can be accommodated in these workshops.
