Can I perform my own boat maintenance and repairs at the boatyard?
DIY work is limited to certain areas and must follow strict safety guidelines. Please consult our office prior to starting any project to confirm eligibility and receive instructions on maintaining a safe and organized yard environment for all vessels.
