RICHARDSONS YACHT SERVICES

Well, what a year 2021 turned out to be! Varying restrictions throughout the year and continued challenges for both businesses and customers.

We followed all the government guidance throughout 2021, making changes and adjustments within our business as and when required. We kept our customers updated with regular newsletters to keep us all safe.

We were again oversubscribed for our Winter Package, with a waiting list. We have already taken several bookings for winter 2022/23. Please remember to book early to avoid disappointment.

Our Discounted Week Ashore proves to be extremely popular; several weeks from late March to mid-April are already fully booked! The week ashore enables the ‘D.I.Y.’ yachtsman to come ashore for up to 1 week and carry out general maintenance, inc antifouling and polishing, etc. You can purchase all your materials from our on-site chandlery. However, if you do not fancy tackling the jobs yourself, we have a team of highly skilled craftsmen who can carry out the work for you.

Our well stocked chandlery is open 7 days a week and carries a wide variety of materials for all your boating needs. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to speak to our helpful chandlery staff; we’ll do everything we can to get it for you! We even carry a small range of groceries.

Our services include slipping, repairs, refits, painting, electrical, installations and engineering. No job is too big or too small!

We are dealers for Beta Marine, Mermaid Marine, Tohatsu Outboards, and Epropulsion electric outboards. We also carry a large range of spares, along with many other engine parts.

As longstanding contractors to the R.N.L.I. we continue to carry out annual refits to their fleet of seven hovercraft, which can often be heard ‘flying’ outside our sheds!
