A family-run business, evolving for 50 years.

HGFR has been repairing, restoring and maintaining yachts and motorboats throughout Chichester Harbour since 1976.

We carry out cosmetic and structural repairs, including insurance and surveyor-led work, as well as complete refurbishments, refinishing and ongoing maintenance.

Our boatshed in the heart of Chichester Harbour provides a dedicated, controlled environment for a wide range of marine work and specialist coatings.

Just another morning at Northshore. HGFR getting a job done in the yard, with a little help from one of their team.

He’s not on the payroll yet, but try telling him that. 🐾

PLANNING YOUR WINTER ASHORE?

You might already know what needs doing.
You might already have a few things you fancy doing.
Or you might just need to have a look, have a think and get some advice.

Now’s a good time to start thinking about it.

A repair you’ve been putting off?
Something highlighted in a survey?
A larger restoration?
Thinking about a new coating system?
Maybe a bow thruster for next season?
Or simply the usual winter maintenance?

Planning ahead gives us the chance to discuss what’s needed, agree the best approach and, where required, schedule your boat into our boatshed at Northshore Boatyard.

If you’re starting to put your winter plans together, get in touch and we’ll be happy to talk through what your boat needs.

Now, we can’t 100% guarantee we can cut your costs… but we can guarantee we don’t cut corners! That’s one of the reasons we’ve been around a while.

When an old friend and work colleague finds one of our adverts in a local paper from 1981, it makes you realise just how far we’ve come.

Yes, we’ve done a bit of rebranding since then…
but so have Opal Fruits!

We’ve repaired and restored a lot of boats over the years, adding to our services along the way… and we’re still doing it today.

From Hayling Glass Fibre to HGFR Marine Services.

From a garage at home to a boatshed in the heart of Chichester Harbour.

Still looking after your boats.

If you think we can help keep yours at its best, the number’s on the advert…

Just add 02392 46 in front of it.

PROTECT & MAINTAIN

A well-maintained boat looks better, can perform better and is ready when you want to use it.

For some, that means fresh antifouling and a good polish.
For others, longer-term protection such as Coppercoat, Propspeed or Gtechniq Marine ceramic coatings can help reduce ongoing maintenance and preserve the boat’s condition.

Our protection and maintenance services include:

⚓ Below the waterline
Antifouling • Epoxy coatings • Coppercoat • Propspeed

✨ Above the waterline
Polishing • Surface correction • Gtechniq Marine ceramic protection

From yachts and motorboats to RIBs, we’ll assess your boat, how and where it’s used, and recommend an approach that makes sense — from straightforward seasonal maintenance to longer-term protection.

As approved applicators of leading marine coating systems, we use products and processes we know and trust.
Our boatshed provides the right environment for these coating applications.

Want to get your boat protected and ready for when you need it?

Get in touch.

Good times loading…

We had a great day at the Northshore Boatyard Open Day this weekend.

It was brilliant to meet some new faces, while also catching up with familiar ones who stopped by to say hello and show their support.

The site is full of positivity and excitement for what’s next. The enthusiasm and can-do attitude from everyone wearing a Northshore badge creates a really great atmosphere around the yard.

We’re looking forward to being part of it and to many more good times ahead. 👀

One of the best things about Northshore is the people.

At our Open Day tomorrow, you’ll have the chance to meet the marine specialists who call Northshore home. From GRP repair experts and marine engineers to electrical specialists and the team converting boats to electric power, it’s a chance to chat, ask questions and discover the wealth of expertise based right here on site.

Whether you’re looking for advice, inspiration or your next project, you’ll find it here. ⚡️

Come along tomorrow and say hello.

We’ll be at the Northshore Boatyard Open Day enjoying the atmosphere, the pizza and the music, and hopefully meeting plenty of boat owners along the way.

We’ll also have a few things on display to give you an idea of the type of work we do, so if you’re visiting, pop over and say hello. It’d be great to meet you.
