Welcome! Bennett Boatyard - Since 1960 Based on Bryher in the Isles of Scilly, Bennett Boatyard was set up in the early 1960s by Keith Bennett when he took over a disused barn to build his own designs of sailing and motor catamarans. Daniel, Keith’s son, worked with him for the last two years of his life during which they designed and built a 30ft motor catamaran. Since then the direction of the yard has changed and the emphasis is now on small boat building, repair, maintenance, storage and boathire.

Bennett Boatyard offers boat storage to visitors of the islands. Boats can be collected from and delivered to all the islands and a full maintenance and repair service is provided.

We also operate boat and kayak hire from Bryher, Tresco and St Martin’s during the summer months. Please view the boat hire page for more information about the boats we have.
