Our marine work spans heritage restorations, refits and contemporary engineering. From classic vessels to advanced technology projects, each build is managed in house with the same focus on precision, performance and craft.
Rita
Rita is a mid-century German-built tug with a distinctive past and a new life ahead of her. After many years left deteriorating in Poole Harbour, she was brought to Calshot for a full heritage refit. Rita remains one of the most technically complex projects undertaken by the yard, requiring detailed marine engineering, fabrication and joinery.

Davenham
Originally built in 1944 as a dry cargo barge in the classic Weaver Packet design, Davenham had been adapted as a houseboat but had fallen into severe structural decline. Calshot was commissioned to carry out a complete rebuild and reimagine her as something entirely new. The result was a project that pushed the boundaries of restoration and creativity.
M/Y Alicia
Alicia was the first major vessel restored by Calshot and remains one of the defining projects of the yard. The work began in 2015 and brought together a team shaped by the owner’s belief in quality over convenience and in the potential of overlooked materials. The restoration of Alicia marked the point where the Calshot approach took form.
Our workshop brings together joinery, metalwork, and engineering under one roof.
Whether on land or at sea, we collaborate closely to create work built to last.
