A A Coombes

In 1951 Alan Coombes began building dinghies on the Bembridge embankment, and was joined by Peter Scott in 1956 - and so a boat building partnership was formed.

As time passed and the business grew it evolved into building cruising yachts and motorboats. Technology also advanced and with the advent of glass reinforced plastic construction, the focus of the yard slowly changed from traditional boat building.

Over 60 years on, the core work of the yard encompasses repairs, maintenance and storage and this longevity is a testament to the reliability and competitiveness of the company as well as its high standards and friendly service. 

Traditional repair, maintenance and storage yard. Builds Bembridge Scows in GRP. All types of repairs in timber and GRP up to 40 feet length overall.
