See the art of boat craftsmanship
right here at our boat workshop
Step into Harry King & Sons, where over 170 years of expertise converge with contemporary boat care. Founded in 1850, our Pin Mill workshop, just downriver from Ipswich, is more than a boat repair facility—it’s a testament to enduring craftsmanship and reliability.
Where traditional values are still strong
We pride ourselves on continuing the skills of our trade and passing them onto the next generation. We meet modern standards with traditional methods, offering practical and competitively priced solutions. We are happy to discuss any job and work through a way forward, giving free estimates. We keep customers up to date on progress along with sending photos of the ongoing work being carried out on their boat from start to finish. Our reputation, reflected in our 4.3 / 5 Google rating, speaks for itself.
Recent Projects
Selina King
Selina King was built in our yard for Arthur Ransome in 1938. Her current owner has been restoring her for over 20 years, first in Bermuda and then in the UK, on the South coast. She came back to Pin Mill for us to make and fit a new mast and spars, complete with new bespoke fittings. Ironically, the spars were the only thing not originally built by Harry King.
Wallop
This beautiful 28ft yacht had a complete new deck structure, new deck, plank repairs, transom repairs, stem repairs, new forehatch, new deck furniture, and newly painted.
Kashmi
This is a long term restoration project mainly involving a complete newly designed cockpit structure, cabin coaming repairs, and deck repairs.
