Fabrication & joinery
Metal Fabrication & Marine Cabinetry
Aluminum, stainless, steel and joinery — one shop, so it fits
A radar arch is three jobs. Someone builds it, someone reinforces the deck it lands on, and someone rebuilds the headliner you cut through to bolt it down. In most places that is three companies, three schedules, and three people to point at when it leaks.
Here it is one shop. Metal, composite and joinery are the same crew on the same hard — so the part fits, because the people who made it are the people who fitted it.
Metal
The metal shop
Welding and fabrication in aluminum, stainless and steel, for pleasure boats and working boats.
Aluminum
- Radar arches and masts — designed, built and fitted
- Outboard brackets and transom extensions
- Fuel and water tanks
- Rails, brackets and mounts
Stainless
- Rails, stanchions and hand rails

Running gear and exhaust
- Exhaust systems
- Shafts, shaft logs and struts
- Machining and alignment alongside a repower
Joinery
The cabinet shop
A full interior refit, or one piece that has to look like it was always there.
- Full interior refits — galleys, berths and saloon joinery
- One-off cabinetry and furniture, built to a boat rather than a catalogue
- Teak and brightwork — toe rails, cap rails, hand rails, varnish or Awlwood
- Helm stations, consoles and instrument panels — the joinery half of an electronics refit
Why one shop matters
Nobody hands the problem to the next trade
Fit a radar arch and you are into metal, composite and joinery within an hour of starting. Add a bracket and you are into structural reinforcement. Move a helm and you are into wiring.
When those are four companies, the gaps between them are where the leaks, the delays and the arguments live. Here they are four benches in the same yard, and the boat is already hauled.
If a part does not exist any more — or never did — we will make it. Bring a photo, a broken one, or a sketch on the back of something.
Free for every customer
A complimentary 18-point inspection
An expert technician tests the boat’s systems and writes up every point as Excellent, Good, Monitor, Attention or Critical — a written report telling you what is sound, what to keep an eye on, and what has to be dealt with before she goes back in the water. Free with every job.
