How it works
-
1
Request and offer
Fill in your boat details and the period you need. You receive our offer by email straight away, and we then confirm whether there is a space. No deposit is needed.
-
2
We agree the day
We agree the haul-out window together. You let us know a few days in advance which exact day suits you.
-
3
Haul-out
On the agreed day (the time is approximate and depends on the weather) our submersible transport platform goes under the water, takes your boat from below and brings it smoothly ashore — no crane, no slings.
-
4
Pressure wash
Straight after the haul-out we pressure-wash the hull, while marine growth and shellfish are still fresh and come off easily. It is included in the price.

On metal supports
Your boat is set on sturdy metal supports for the whole storage period. You are welcome to work on it yourself. Insurance is required for the whole period; payment starts at haul-out.
Why a transport platform, not a crane
A boat is built to sit in the water and carry its weight on the keel — not to hang from its sides.
✗Crane and slings: the whole weight hangs from two slings that squeeze the hull on its sides and bottom.
✓Transport platform: the weight rests on the keel, just as when the boat floats; the side supports only keep it upright.
- No squeeze on the sides of the hull
- The weight where it was designed to go: on the keel
- A gentle, steady move — with respect for your boat
