The goal of a ship’s chandlery is to provide everything a vessel will need for a successful voyage. That includes mechanical supplies, chemicals, and fuel, as well as provisions the crew will need for the duration of the trip. Save time and money by getting everything you need for your voyage in one location.

You are able to do your own maintenance, if you choose to do so. We are equipped to support DIY maintenance, as well as crew mechanics. We also welcome any external contractors you would like to hire to work on your vessel.

More than a paint job, antifouling is the treatment for a boat’s hull to prevent its being biofouled by marine life—barnacles, mussels, algae, slime, and seaweed—attaching to the surface. The process requires preparation work before the application of the paint. The paint selection will need to comply with environmental requirements, while at the same time addressing the specific biofouling conditions in your area.

It’s best to have your boat looked at by professionals at least once a year to ensure everything is in good shape. You might want to get your trailer inspected at the same time, to ensure there are no issues that could cause damage to the boat it’s designed to carry.

There are three types of boat storage: in-water, dry outdoors, and dry sheltered. In-water means your boat is more easily accessible when you want it, while the dry options provide more protection from the elements. Please discuss with our staff which of these options is best suited to your storage needs.
