I have wintered my sailing boat at Blackness Marine for several years. The service is efficient and friendly. Repairs are done on schedule and the prices are competitive. I especially like the fact that it's a family-run operation that has grown rapidly but still maintains the personal touch. Gates are set to shut promptly, so be sure to allow enough time to recover and depart the site prior to the gate closing time which changes seasonally.

Our Drystack is suitable for boats up to 10m LOA. Larger vessels will be moved to the outer yard over the summer and are guaranteed to be inside for winter. We currently dry out at low water so need to avoid approximately 1 3/4 hours either side of this depending on vessel size.

If there's something more detailed which needs doing, our skilled crew will be happy to discuss this with you and carry out necessary work.

We have stored our RIB in the covered dry stack at Blackness for 4 years - the service has been superb - everyone is friendly, and happy to help novices like ourselves. The engineering side is also seemless - a quick email sorts pretty much everything. On top of that, it is a simply stunning location and utterly unique for a "marina".
