As a working boatyard rich in heritage and vital to the


functioning of the docks, Underfall Yard is at the heart


of Bristol Harbour. We are proud to offer a range of


boat building, boat maintenance and training services


to mariners from the UK and beyond.


The Yard’s accessible and well-connected location has


seen it emerge as a hub for excellence in traditional and


modern boatbuilding and maintenance. Built-up over


many years, the knowledge, skills and experience of the


Yard’s businesses have made it a maritime focal point


in the South West and our workshops house award-


winning shipwrights, riggers, blacksmiths, welders,


carpenters and fibre composite specialists. Areas of


expertise include plumbing, electrics, fabrication and


the repair of all hull and engine types.


Overseen by the Underfall Yard Trust and operated by


a team of experienced and highly skilled technicians,


the Patent Slipway at the heart of this historic and


picturesque yard can accommodate vessels with


dimensions of 32m x 8m LOA and weights up to 150


tonnes. Boats can be lifted out of the water for quick


inspections and routine work or for major repairs and


alterations. Multihulls can be lifted out fully rigged and


narrowboats can be accommodated individually or in


pairs. Services including water, electricity and pressure


washers are available for use.


Several Yard businesses provide on-shore training and


maritime experiences such as skin-on-frame kayak-


building, the delivery RYA modules and training in first


aid and boat safety. The Underfall Yard Trust leads


bookable group tours which explore the Yard’s unique


maritime heritage, and we are pleased to host a range


of events from birthdays to wedding receptions in a


beautiful and evocative maritime setting.
