Recreational vessels

Yachts, Powerboats & Catamarans

Your boat is meant to be used, not stuck waiting. North Coast Shiplift lifts private vessels for antifouling, hull work, mechanical and electrical jobs, upgrades and refits — then gets them back on the water.

Looking After Your Boat

Territory conditions are harsh on hulls, coatings and gear. Regular time ashore keeps small problems small.

Vessel owners are welcome to work on their vessels while they are in our yard; however, overnight stays are not permitted.

All contracted works are to be arranged through our office.

Facility specifications indicate vessels up to approximately 40 metres in length and approximately 10.2 metres beam may be accommodated, within a 150-tonne lift capacity. Actual suitability depends on vessel design, displacement, draft, lifting points and configuration, and is confirmed by North Coast Shiplift for each vessel before any lift is arranged.
