Deben Boatyard launched

We are pleased to announce the launch of Deben Boatyard, following the completion of the acquisition of Larkman’s Boatyard on the River Deben.

The yard has a long and respected history of supporting local boat owners, and we are proud to continue that tradition under new ownership. Sam and Kayleigh now own and run the yard, supported by a small, experienced and dedicated team.

As a family-run boatyard, our focus is on providing a high-quality, personal service in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We believe that good boat care starts with listening, clear communication and a genuine desire to help customers enjoy their time on the water.

Deben Boatyard offers a full range of marine services including engineering, rigging, refits and restoration, storage, chandlery and valeting. Our aim is to make owning and maintaining a boat as straightforward and stress-free as possible, whether you are a long-standing customer of the yard or visiting for the first time.

We would like to thank the Larkman family for their many years of hard work and dedication, and for the care they have shown to customers over the years. We are grateful for the strong foundations they have built and look forward to carrying that forward.

We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to welcoming you to Deben Boatyard.
