We know that a lot of our visitors think that we have a nice easy job in the summer, playing on boats and all that, then take the whole winter off – sadly this is not the case! To keep the fleet in tip top condition we have a dedicated team who look after all aspects of maintaining the hire fleet, from the rudder, shaft and engine right through to making sure the varnishing, curtains and cushions are all in good order. We charter the boats from April to October and when the boats are not out on hire there is plenty of work to be done keeping the team busy for the rest of the year.
We fit out the new vessels on the fleet over the winter period too. The first hull will usually arrive in September / October time and take approximately 3 – 4 months to complete, depending on the size of the vessel.
In the booking office we take the majority of our reservations between December and March, so there is no down time there either.
