Boatyard Services

A one-way lift means we bring the vessel out of the water and hold it in the slings for a quick inspection, survey, or short repair job, then return it to the water. No blocking, no extended yard time. This service suits out-of-water surveys, propeller inspections, quick hull checks, and any job that can be completed while the vessel is suspended.

The first four hours in the holding bay are included. After that, daily bay rates apply. Vessels over 32 feet are not permitted in the holding bays as they block lift access for other boats.

The quick lift is built for speed. Haul the boat, do the work, get it back in the water the same day whenever the schedule allows. This is the right call for hull cleaning, propeller work, below-waterline repairs, and pre-purchase surveys where you need eyes on the hull without committing to a full haul-out and yard storage.

Arriving at the yard on a trailer? We can move your vessel from its trailer into the boatyard for maintenance, repairs, storage, or inspection. Our team handles the transfer carefully, so your boat is positioned correctly and ready for whatever work is planned. Island rules apply for larger trailerable boats between 30–35 ft.

Pulling your boat from the water and placing it directly onto a trailer for road transport, off-site storage, or sale. We use the travel lift to haul the vessel cleanly and position it safely onto your trailer. This service is ideal for moving your boat out of the water and onto the road.

Island rules apply for larger trailerable boats between 30–35 ft.

Professional pressure washing to clean hulls before painting, remove marine growth, and prepare surfaces for inspection or repair. We have two tip configurations: a standard tip for general hull washing and a turbo tip for more intensive work including paint removal from any vessel.

All wash water on our pad is captured and processed through the Marina Wash Treatment System before entering the sewage system. This environmental infrastructure has been operating for over 20 years as part of the False Creek Cleanup Program. No chemicals are added to the wash water.
