We operate one of the few remaining dry docks in the south of England, enabling our customers to access the hull of their vessels. Our recently refurbished Dry Dock enables you to manage your inspections, maintenance, and emergency repairs from start to finish, alongside a team of highly skilled engineers who remain on standby for any required support.
Flexibility
We can accommodate many types of vessels, from trawlers, to square rigged sailing vessels, yachts, tugs, workboats, and even small ferries. Our Dry Dock is one of the few facilities that allows you to carry out your own work on your vessel. Many customers choose our dry dock specifically for the flexibility, cost savings and peace of mind that this can provide. We have a comprehensive list of trusted marine contractors on hand, who are highly experienced in the maritime industry.
Continuous Improvement
We are proud owners of this fully operational piece of history and have made significant investment within recent years to ensure that our dry dock remains an efficient and fully equipped facility for our customers. In 2022 the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) supported our application to redevelop the Dry Dock through the The UK Seafood Fund; a landmark government investment supporting the long-term future and sustainability of the UK fishing and seafood industry.
