About us

Skippers, Instructors, Engineers and Bosuns

 Solent Boat Care has a team of both Skippers and Engineers, able to assist in a variety of ways from deliveries to mechanical assistance and boat maintenance.

 Our teams diverse nature means you'll find us replacing outboard engines one day, servicing inboards the following before setting out on a sail across the solent for a delivery, charter or sea trial. Its important to us that we are able to do all of these tasks in order to best understand the job, the assistance required and diagnose faults that may not come naturally to others. And when everything is up together we thrive on making sure it stays that way by way of maintenance and cleaning schedules. All the time being able to monitor and rectify small issues as they occur.
