Denman Marine was established in 2005 and is operated by
qualified boat builder Andrew Denman with a small team of dedicated and gifted Tasmanian wooden boat builders.
Denman Marine specialises in the construction
and repair of wooden boats using both traditional and modern construction methods and materials. From small clinker dinghies to
ocean going cruising vessels if it is made of wood, we can build it for you.
We have a purpose built boatbuilding
facility in Kettering, Tasmania on the beautiful D'entrecasteaux Channel and can handle vessels up to 50' in the worksop.
Our labour rates are low compared to the mainland so extensive re-fit and new build costs are lower.
We have a
growing Australia wide reputation for quality boat building and repair work and we only use the finest boat building materials
in the world in our vessels.
We have built and repaired vessels for private owners, commercial operators, televsion
commercials and the international film industry.
Our aim
is to keep the traditional boat building skills alive and to promote wooden boats as a viable alternative to the modern,
highly advertised fibreglass boats.
Andrew has owned a variety
of different boats from dinghies to multihulls and ocean going yachts and is a keen yachtsman with many thousands
of coastal and offshore miles experience.
Andrew's current
vessel is a vintage 23 foot timber composite, Iain Farrier designed trailer trimaran - the TT720.
