Southampton Boatyards

[skier05]

I am looking for a boatyard in Southampton (Not Hamble or Portsmouth), does anyone have any recommendations.

Looking for secure location not necessarily with slip as have tow vehicle.

Thanks for your help.

Drivers Wharf has to be worth a look - http://www.driverswharf.com
Secure, reasonable prices, petrol station round the corner, friendly staff. No slipway on site (they crane in), but there is a public slip up the road.

Yeah and its conveniently located next to a filthy Scrap Yard that operates seven days a week!!!!!

And what looks like a knocking shop just around the corner......

That's no way to talk about our training room!

The scrapyard comment I guess is accurate but that yard also affects Shamrock Quay, Kemps Quay and Saxon Wharf. The Itchen is a commercial river still so you might want a Boat cover! if you go down river then its pretty much all marina spaces and no dry storage.

Drivers has a good feel about it and it's nearly all powerboating! and even has a powerboat racer on the staff

Great innit, staff and tennants have first dibs on the penthouse apartments and i hear Mr Fuller is negotiating a dry dock and workshop to go with his.
