Practical Marine Work From Portsmith

At Mitchell Marine Management, we provide marine services in Cairns from our base in Portsmith, among the slipways, working boatyards and the Cairns Marlin Marina. Whether you've got a repair to organise, a passage to prepare for or a boat to sell, we're close to where the work happens.

Our shipwright services take care of hulls, decks and antifouling, while yacht rigging and sail making and repairs keep a sailing vessel's gear in working order. We also handle yacht brokerage and marine salvage.

Every job starts with understanding the boat and what's going on with it, so the plan suits the vessel in front of us. Call 0460 971 939 or request a quote.

Shipwright Services

We repair fibreglass and timber hulls, decks and gelcoat. We also take care of antifouling and general maintenance, planning each job around the vessel's condition.

Rigging

We inspect and replace standing and running rigging, including fittings and terminals. We also step and unstep masts and carry out rig checks before long passages or cyclone season.

Sail Making & Repairs

We make new sails, repair damaged ones and replace worn UV strips. We'll look at the sail's condition and tell you whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Yacht Broker

We help owners sell their yachts, from appraisal and listing through to sea trials and settlement. Our shipwright and rigging background means we understand a boat's condition, not just its listing.

Marine Salvage

We recover, refloat and tow vessels that are stranded, damaged or caught out by severe weather. Tell us where the boat is and what's happened so we can plan the recovery around the conditions.

Why Choose Us?

We work with cruising crews, charter operators and owners of working boats, people with a real job that needs sorting rather than a boat sitting in a showroom. Getting it right starts with the first inspection.
