work with us

We are a family owned and run boatyard in Portchester, Fareham, established in 1966, catering for owners of GRP & wooden sailing boats up to 40ft.

We have moorings for 230 vessels and hard-standing for about 160. We operate a small chandlery for basic boat maintenance products and refreshments.

The boatyard is geared towards owner maintenance but we employ a small team of tradesmen to carry out repairs and maintenance for our customers as well as maintaining yard machinery and premises. We also have a number of commercial units on site which are leased to independent companies.

Now that the Boatman service has finished for the season, I’d like to thank you for providing the service in the first place, but also to record our appreciation of the effort that Chris has put in over the last few months; his assistance and willingness have been very much appreciated by many. — E'le May
