Do It Yourself, With Expert Support Behind You

At Aqueduct Marina, we understand that some boat owners prefer to carry out their own blacking, whether it’s to reduce costs or take a more hands-on approach.

That’s why we’ve created a purpose built DIY facility, giving you everything you need to get the job done properly, in a safe and well-equipped environment.

While you’re doing the work yourself, you’re never on your own. Our experienced team is always on hand if you need guidance, advice, or support, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing help is there if you need it.

We’ve designed our facilities to make the process as straightforward and convenient as possible, with everything in one place, from lifting your boat out of the water to helping source the materials you need.

Our DIY blacking facilities include:

– Extensive Hardstanding Spaces – with around 80 dedicated bays, each with electricity and water access, giving you the space and setup to work comfortably

– Boat Lifting & Handling – purpose-built trailer and lifting equipment to safely remove your boat from the water and position it correctly

– On-Site Chandlery – all your blacking essentials, tools, and materials available in one place, so there’s no need to source products elsewhere

– Easy Access Setup – work directly next to your boat with everything close by, making the process far more practical and efficient

– Expert Support When You Need It – our team is always nearby to offer advice or step in if required

DIY blacking gives you the flexibility to work at your own pace, while still benefiting from the facilities and expertise of a full service marina.

Whether it’s your first time tackling blacking yourself or something you’ve done for years, we’re here to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible, with the right setup, the right support, and a team that understands exactly what you’re working on.
