⛵ Summer Lift & Wash – June, July & August ⛵
Keep your boat performing at its best this summer with our Lift & Wash service — ideal for both racing sailors and cruisers.

We’ll lift your boat out with the crane, give the hull a quick but effective pressure wash to remove slime and fouling, and launch her straight back in. The whole process takes around 45 minutes.

Why it’s worth doing
Racers: Even a thin layer of slime adds drag, slows acceleration out of tacks, and affects pointing ability. A mid‑season clean can make a real difference on the racecourse.
Cruisers: A clean hull improves fuel efficiency, makes manoeuvring easier, and keeps the boat in better condition through the busy summer months.

Summer price
💷 £30 per metre (normally £35 per metre)

How it works
• All appointments must be pre‑booked — we can’t take boats that arrive without notice
• Short‑notice bookings may be possible, but must be arranged by phone
• Weekdays only
• Pull up alongside our downriver hammerhead pontoon for lift and launch
• Group bookings welcome — great for fleets or cruising groups

🚨Special Offer🚨

With fuel prices the way they are, every bit of efficiency counts.
A slimy hull can seriously increase drag — meaning your speedboat burns more fuel just to stay on plane.

Our Summer Lift & Wash removes that build‑up fast, helping you get better fuel economy, smoother acceleration, and a cleaner ride all summer long.

June–August • £30 per metre • 45‑minute turnaround
Weekdays only • Pre‑booking required
Short‑notice slots may be possible by phone.

Give your boat a mid‑season refresh and keep more fuel in the tank for the fun stuff.

A big welcome to 'Amani'. She arrived by road with South West Boat Transport. We've got a few jobs to complete before she sails off for a summer on the Exe.

When the lock mechanism won't budge, Sean just builds a tool to outsmart it.

He's made light work of removing this old mechanism. Soon, a new one will be fitted in its place!

⚓ Booking Now for Summer Swinging Mooring Inspections ⚓

We’re now taking bookings for swinging mooring inspections throughout July, August and September. Whether you’re due your annual check or want peace of mind, we can help.

As stated in the Topsham Moorings Ltd Handbook:

“Mooring tackle shall comply with the minimum specification laid down and the owner shall inspect and maintain it at least annually. The ongoing good condition of the mooring is the responsibility of the registered mooring owner.”

Do you need to move your boat? Here’s how it works:
Inspection only:
We can carry out the full inspection with your boat still on the mooring — no need to move it.

Repairs or replacements:
If work is required, the boat will need to come off the mooring. You can:
• Bring it alongside our pontoon, or
• We can tow your boat to and from our pontoon.

We make the whole process straightforward, safe and hassle‑free.

📅 Available July–September
🔧 Inspection • Servicing • Repairs

Send us an email with your mooring number to book your slot and keep your mooring in top condition.
