Question

Repairing customers boats and building new ones?

Storage?

any more details?

what would the majority of customers be there for and i presume it would be a slow business? would it be very profitable?

would i sell boats from the boatyard?

Answer 1

Having a yard and some boats

Answer 2

Well  a good knowledge or inboard and outboard engines ,ideally you would have the premises close to the water , you would need some means of getting the boats out of the water  like dock cranes , and strops , then the chocks to stand them on .Some people take their boats out for repairs or painting and , scraping the haul , and some just for the winter so you can do the work or charge rent. You probably wouldn't sell boats from there (you would need far too much room )unless a customer ask if they could put a for sale sign on the boat. Then you would need basic tools for repair and refurbish and a small office as its going to be a business .Also insurance I have seen a £500000 yacht slip from its strops and crash into the seawall . From the office you can sell limited chandlers stuff , like engine oil ,paint , life jackets, anchors, rope, buoys, sat navs, fish finders , batteries ect .

It can be big business if you are in the right location like near a marina .

Answer 3

It all depends what type of Yard you are thinking of having.

It would probably consist of you renting out storage maybe getting a small ships store. renting out slips. You would maybe have to get a small garage where people could repair boats. Things like this

Answer 4

I know of one yard that provides storage and mooring laying.

Another provides repair and little storage

Another provides storage and rents workshop space to others who are chandeliers, do repairs and a brokerage.

A lot depends on the site of the yard and the availability of other facilties locally.
