Amble Boat Company

Amble Boat Company was established in 1995 and lies between Amble Marina and Warkworth Harbour. Located in “the friendliest port” on the picturesque Northumbrian coast, the yards history dates back to 1870, with a proud reputation for building the finest North East fishing cobles. With the decline in traditional boat building the yard adopted new materials and developed the Background construction of all welded Aluminium alloy vessels up to 22.0m in length. From the small yard in Amble, vessels have been built for Morocco, Malta, Bahrain, South Korea and Jordan. The largest vessel to date being, Hamzah 1. A 20.0m Oil Pollution control Vessel, now operating in Aqaba.

Racing yachts, motor cruisers, lifeboats and pilot cutters – all types of repair undertaken. Our technical knowledge and practical experience encompass GRP, FRP, foam and Balsa sandwich construction in both polyester and epoxy resins. The yard has considerable experience in the application of epoxy coatings to the hull of vessels. Osmosis prevention or Osmosis treatment is regularly undertaken with the yard operating as an approved treatment and application centre for Blakes Paints, International Paints, SP Systems and West Resins. A polyester laminate may look watertight at first sight, but looks can
be deceiving. In the molecular laminate of the polyester there are enough crevices and holes through which moisture can diffuse in.
