Welcome to Velaris Marine
Velaris Marine provides professional yacht refit and marine trade services from our base in Poole, Dorset, supporting vessel owners, shipyards and manufacturers across the South Coast, throughout the UK and internationally.
​
We work on both new builds and older vessels, carrying out full interior refits, structural carpentry, teak deck replacement, onboard systems installation and interior finishing. Our teams operate on projects ranging from private yacht upgrades to large-scale manufacturer and shipyard programmes, supplying skilled labour where consistency and reliability matter.
​
Our services cover the practical work required to build, modernise and maintain vessels, including:
​
-
Yacht and boat refits
-
Marine carpentry and bespoke joinery
-
Teak decking installation and repairs
-
Marine electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems
-
Interior finishing and upholstery
-
Production and warranty support for builders
​
Projects are undertaken locally around Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset and Hampshire coast, with mobile teams available nationwide and overseas when required.
​
Velaris Marine is structured around experienced trades working together as one contractor, allowing owners and project managers to deal with a single team from strip-out through to completion.
Services
Velaris Marine delivers practical refit, installation and finishing work for yachts, motor boats and production vessels. Operating from Poole on the Dorset coast, our teams support projects locally across the South Coast and travel nationwide and overseas for larger programmes and shipyard contracts.
​
We undertake both new build and refurbishment work, from targeted upgrades through to full vessel refits. By covering multiple trades within one contractor, projects can move from strip-out to completion without the delays of coordinating separate specialists.
​
Projects are undertaken in Poole, Bournemouth, Southampton, Lymington and the wider Dorset and Hampshire region, with mobile teams available across the UK and internationally for larger refit and contract work.
Yacht Refit & Renovation
We carry out interior and structural refits on ageing vessels and modern yachts, improving layout, usability and onboard systems while maintaining the vessel’s character. Work ranges from owner specification upgrades to full modernisation projects and shipyard refit support.
Marine Carpentry & Joinery
Bespoke marine joinery manufactured and installed to suit individual vessels, including cabinetry, bulkheads, helm areas, companionways and interior structures. We work with both traditional and modern finishes to match existing interiors or new designs.
Teak Decking installations
Supply and installation of new teak decks, replacement of worn decking, re-caulking and warranty repairs. We also undertake partial repairs where full replacement is unnecessary and can integrate decking work as part of wider refit projects.
Marine Systems Installation
Installation and modification of onboard systems including marine electrical, plumbing and HVAC. This includes routing services during refits, upgrading ageing installations and preparing vessels for extended cruising or modern equipment.
Upholstery & Interior Finishing
Completion and finishing stages including panels, linings, headlining, cushions and interior trim. These works are typically carried out alongside carpentry and refit projects to bring interiors back to a cohesive standard.
Manufacturer & Shipyard Contracts
Velaris Marine provides experienced labour for boat builders, production yards and warranty departments. Teams can integrate into build schedules, assist during peak demand and travel to UK or overseas locations where additional skilled trades are required.
Sevice Areas
Velaris Marine operates from Poole Harbour, supporting boat owners, marinas and shipyards throughout Dorset and the central South Coast. Our location allows us to regularly work in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Lymington, Southampton and surrounding harbours, where we carry out refit and installation work on vessels ranging from private motor boats to large yachts.
​
Most projects begin locally, either alongside, within marinas or during yard periods, with work completed on site by our own trades. This allows owners and project managers to have consistent support throughout a refit rather than coordinating multiple contractors.
​
While based in Poole, our teams are equipped for larger projects further along the coast and regularly attend vessels moving between ports for scheduled works.
Poole & Dorset Marine Services
Projects are typically undertaken in Poole, Bournemouth and surrounding harbours, with mobile teams also supporting vessels moving between ports. While many works begin locally, Velaris Marine also undertakes larger refit and contractor projects across the UK and overseas when required.
UK-Wide Marine Contractors
Velaris Marine supports refit and installation projects throughout the United Kingdom, providing experienced marine trades for vessels undergoing scheduled works, upgrades or refurbishment periods.
International Yacht Projects
Velaris Marine undertakes selected projects outside the UK, supporting vessels, shipyards and manufacturers requiring experienced marine trades during refit, warranty or completion periods.
Portfolio
This section shows a selection of work completed by Velaris Marine across private vessels, production yachts and manufacturer programmes. Projects range from smaller upgrades carried out locally to full refit work, warranty support and completion phases undertaken within UK shipyards and overseas locations.
​
Our portfolio includes carpentry installations, teak deck replacement, onboard systems upgrades and interior finishing carried out as part of planned maintenance periods and larger refurbishment schedules. Each project reflects the practical stages of marine refit work, from preparation through to final installation.
​
New projects are added regularly as vessels move through refit periods in different locations.
About Velaris Marine
Who We Are
Velaris Marine is a Poole-based marine refit and trade contractor supporting vessel owners, shipyards and boat builders across Dorset and the South Coast. The company was established to provide reliable multi-trade support during refit, upgrade and build programmes, allowing projects to be completed under one coordinated team rather than separate contractors.
​
Our work is centred around practical onboard trades including carpentry, teak decking, systems installation and interior finishing. These are carried out on vessels within local marinas, during yard periods and as part of production or warranty schedules. Operating from Poole Harbour allows regular attendance to vessels in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Lymington and Southampton while remaining accessible for larger projects elsewhere in the UK.
​
Velaris Marine works with both private owners and industry professionals, supporting routine maintenance upgrades through to full refurbishment and manufacturer handover stages. The aim is consistent workmanship and clear communication throughout the project so work can progress efficiently alongside other scheduled trades.
​
While many projects are undertaken locally along the Dorset and Hampshire coast, the company also supports nationwide and overseas programmes where continuity of trades is required across multiple locations.
