Boat Care
Helping you to spend more time afloat
What is Boat Care?
Boat Care is much more than just yard services.Our experienced team of boatbuilders, engineers and finishers really care about solving problems and getting you back afloat.
We provide a one-stop shop for all issues from painting to keels, rigging to thrusters, so you only need to make one call.


Based in Dorset and Hampshire
Our Boat Care teams are based on the south coast, at Deacons Marina on the river Hamble, Portland Marina in Dorset and at Haslar Marina in Portsmouth Harbour. Our two main facilities are at Portland, which can lift ashore boats to 23m, and at Deacons which specialises in boats to 14m long.
Whether your boat is large or small, power or sail, in need of a rebuild or just a paint retouch, we are happy to help. Our dedicated Boat Care Managers at Deacons and Portland will advise the best approach for your budget, and will manage the project when underway.
