Been a bit quiet on here lately, but we've definitely been keeping busy behind the scenes!

We were delighted to welcome the Compass Rose in for a freshen up while passing through on the journey home to Shetland.

The Compass Rose is available for charter around Shetland, offering brilliant trips and local experience on the water, so definitely worth checking out if you're planning a visit north or looking for something different to do.

Thanks to Kevin for the business, we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Less than two weeks to go!🚴

Caleb & Louie are taking on their sponsored cycle for the Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - SCAA and are now nearing £4,000

Their aim is to reach £5,000 which is now the average cost of one life-saving mission 🚁

A fantastic effort from the boys so far, and not long to go now.

It's not all aquaculture boats we pull up...

We regularly have fishing boats, work boats and crew transfer vessels on the yard too.

Our diary is filling up into next year, but feel free to get in touch if you're looking to get your vessel booked in.

A slightly different post from us today.

Two local Burray boys, 10 year old Caleb and 9 year old Louie are currently training for a sponsored cycle on 19th April to raise money for Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - a service that means a lot to communities like ours.

Thanks to the incredible support so far they've already raised over £2,000 nearing half the average cost of a single air ambulance mission.

They've been putting in the training miles over the last few weeks often in our typical Orkney weather!

If anyone would like to read their story or show them support, please click on the link to their JustGiving page.

Good luck boys! We are all cheering you on!

Happy International Women’s Day. A shout out to women everywhere putting in the graft, especially those working in traditionally male-dominated industries 👷‍♀️

Plenty of vehicle and machinery repairs on the go, with these guys flat out keeping everything moving. Chappie just loves it when the camera comes out 😉📸
