Established in 1938, Dorset Yacht Company and the Culpan Family have had the pleasure of managing the UK Boston Whaler Distributorship which includes the Channel Islands and Republic of Ireland, for over 40 years. Sales and Service operations are run from our own “Lake Yard” marina and boat yard (originally known as Dorset Lake Shipyard).
From a boat purchasing perspective, our customers can rely on a truly marine-friendly team at Dorset Yacht Co, who have all owned or currently own a Whaler – for no other reason than they are the most versatile, sound and fun day boat for the sea conditions here in the UK.
Located on the edge of Poole Harbour, Dorset, we own and operate a fifty berth deep water Marina accommodating vessels of up to 15 metres. South facing, our Marina complex benefits from natural deep water access at all stages of the tide making it a highly practical base to boat from for all Whaler customers. There is a 50 tonne Travel Hoist that enables larger vessels to be retrieved and launched with ease, and for smaller vessels there is a Hiab crane which can lift out and launch all Boston Whalers up to 21 feet. Also onsite, we have our own 3,000 square foot Boston Whaler Boathouse which provides ample space for display, service / boat-rigging, and winter storage. While security is always an issue on the harbour edge, our site and marina are constantly monitored by CCTV and we are very fortunate to have the Royal Marines Base, right next door!
This year, you’ll find our display of new Whalers to the right of the middle entry bridge to the Marina – on berths M040, 041 and 042.
We’re very excited to present the UK Debut of the new Boston Whaler 210 Vantage – understatedly sporty, sleek, luxurious and unsinkable, she is sure to turn a few heads!
Also on display will be the ever popular 220 Dauntless and 170 Montauk models.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard at SIBS 2025!
