The Boatyard
140 moorings, extensive on site repair, refit and maintenance with storage ashore for vessels up to 40 feet in length.
Under new management and ownership
The Rice & Cole Boatyard is ‘just’ one half of our business; but it’s still very much recognised by the serious yachtsman as being among the best yards along England’s glorious east coast.

Pay less, but get more
Avoid the often-astronomical cost of sheltered moorings, by opting for tidal moorings at Rice & Cole instead.
Here, you’ll find everything you’d expect from a first-class boatyard, whilst also enjoying the wonderful convenience of having comfortable accommodation ashore.
For further information about any of our boatyard services, or to discuss your refit or repair project in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact us – we’d love to hear from you!
