Our Services
Founded in 1931, our family business is now in its fourth generation. We originally built and serviced Seaview dinghies, having constructed over 200, primarily by the Warren family. Although new builds are rare, we maintain traditional skills to keep the fleet in excellent condition, supporting competitive dinghy racing with over 100 active boats in July and August each year.
Notable Mentions:

The business has expanded and now offers a full range of boating services.
Heritage
In 2022, we restored a former Wesleyan chapel to support our heritage boating services. The project enhances the streetscape, adds a new second floor, and improves storage and workshop facilities.
Additionally, we are upgrading our use of IT software to enhance service delivery.
The Boat Store is strategically located next to Seaview Yacht Club with staff facilities and an office base. The building has been sensitively renovated and improved making it easier for our clients to speak directly to us.
