CARRIDEN BOATYARD · BO’NESS · FIRTH OF FORTH · CONVENIENT FOR EDINBURGH

A boatyard for everyone.

A friendly working boatyard with room for boats, projects and people.

Welcome to Carriden Boatyard

On the shores of the Firth of Forth at Bo’ness, Carriden Boatyard is a practical, down-to-earth boatyard where people from all walks of life are welcome. Whether you have years of experience or are taking on your first project, what matters here is enthusiasm, curiosity and respect for one another.

There’s room to get on with your own work, share ideas and enjoy being around boats and the people who care about them.

Room for boats — and ideas

Indoor and outdoor boat storage, practical space for projects, container storage and access to the water make Carriden Boatyard a place to keep a boat and spend time working on it. We provide a working environment where owners can carry out their own projects.

More than a boatyard

Boats are at the heart of Carriden Boatyard, but they’re only part of the story. Around the yard you’ll find restoration, woodworking, fabrication, ingenious solutions and the everyday pleasure of making something with your hands.

Above all, Carriden Boatyard is about people: different interests, different backgrounds and a shared welcome.
