Case Studies

We worked closely with Shemara Refit LLP for the latter stages of the Shemara refit – the restoration of a 65m classic motor yacht restored to her former glory.

5 vessels were used in this marine logistics project; the Willendeavour, the Wilanne, the Willjay and 2 ribs.

Shemara was pulled out of a refit yard in Porchester through an extremely narrow channel. Once the yacht was in the main boat channel, the Willendeavour and Wilanne towed Shemara to Empress Dock in Southampton, where the refit was finalised and the vessel was prepared for launch.

 

NB: As of October 2022 we no longer own Wilanne and Willjay.
