About the shop-
Part of Dover’s maritime life since 1865.
Now in its fifth generation, we remain a proud family business built on knowledge, craftsmanship and personal service.

The company began as sail makers, serving the working vessels that shaped Dover’s waterfront. By the time Messrs Sharp & Enright acquired the business in 1865, it had evolved into a ships chandlery and general merchants, supplying essential equipment to sailors, fishermen and commercial crews alike.

Over the decades the tools and technologies of the trade have changed dramatically. The sailing ships of the 19th century have given way to modern yachts, motorboats and commercial vessels equipped with electronics and advanced materials. Yet the principles that built this business have remained constant: practical expertise, honest advice and dependable service.

Five generations later, those values still guide everything we do. Whether you visit us in store or shop online, you will find a carefully selected range of marine products, backed by knowledgeable staff who understand the realities of life on the water. We take pride in sourcing what you need quickly and efficiently, and in offering the kind of attention to detail that is increasingly rare.
