Marine carpentry & teak decking services

Synthetic teak needs no oiling or sanding, just a rinse with fresh water. Natural teak is the real wood, with the feel underfoot and the care that come with it. We bring real samples to the inspection and tell you honestly which suits the way you use your boat.

EVO Decking is the synthetic teak we are certified to install, and in our experience the best-looking and most realistic there is. It is UV stabilised for the Adriatic sun, grips underfoot even when wet, and comes in eight deck tones with black, white or silver caulking.

We measure the remaining slat thickness first. If there is enough wood, restoration brings it back. If some slats are too thin, we replace just those, and only a deck that is worn through needs to come up entirely.

Look at the black seams between the slats. If the caulking has gone hard, is cracking or is pulling away from the slat edges, water can get under the deck. Small failures can be repaired locally; when seams are failing all over, a full re-caulk is the better job.

Pre-season preparation is a deep clean across the grain, a light sanding back to fresh teak, repairs to loose plugs and failed seams, and a protective treatment for the summer ahead. Book it early: October to May is our busiest time.

Yes. A pressure washer or a stiff brush tears out the soft wood between the growth rings, leaving the grain ridged and the deck thinner. Wash teak gently, across the grain, with a soft brush and plenty of water.

Usually not. We come to the boat wherever it already is, afloat at its berth or ashore on a dry berth. Each service page shows where that job is done: on board, in our workshop, or both.

Yes. We build wooden passerelles to measure for catamarans and sailboats, for stainless-steel bases or standard fittings. Each is made in our workshop and sealed against sun and salt.

Yes. Handrails, trim, doors and other brightwork are stripped, sanded to bare wood and varnished in multiple coats at your berth. Parts that can be taken off are varnished in our workshop.

Teak for decks and for anything that lives outside, because it lasts in salt and sun. Iroko, mahogany and oak for passerelles, handrails, trim and made-to-measure pieces.

Yes. We handle every piece of wood on board, so a deck, new handrails and a fresh coat of varnish can be quoted and scheduled together.
