I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you both very much for a highly professional job in ordering and fitting the new gear box on Petra in such a short space of time. It meant a great deal to me as I was going to potentially lose a great deal of business while the boat was non operational.

It showed great team work between father and son, even though David (senior) was undergoing a serious hernia operation at the time. I was also amazed that David John was able to carry out this work, while the boat was still on the water (on a rough day), which showed outstanding skill, particularly as I know that Petra has very little engine room space in which to work!

In my 11 years as a Captain within the superyacht industry, DL Marine has been instrumental in the successful operation and continuity of our fleet worldwide, supporting vessels ranging from 7m to 40m.

Their level of technical expertise is exceptional, providing reliable 24/7 support wherever our vessels are operating, as well as invaluable guidance and tuition to our onboard engineers. Time and again, DL Marine has helped us resolve complex issues efficiently, minimising downtime and ensuring our vessels remain operational when it matters most.

Dave’s knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to his clients are second to none. In an industry where true expertise is increasingly difficult to find, his skill set is both rare and invaluable. What began as a professional working relationship has, over the years, grown into a genuine friendship built on trust, integrity, and mutual respect.

I would not hesitate to recommend DL Marine to any vessel owner, captain, or operator looking for dependable technical support and engineering expertise of the highest calibre

Buying a new rib locally in St Mawes can be quite a challenge 

However with DL Marine's help and advice they took the hassle out of it supplying me with a new Highfield CL 380 Rib complete with a 30 HP Mercury outboard linked to a central steering wheel / bench seat set up 

Easy for my grown up children to use 

Exploring the local waters 

Everything was supplied including the road trailer and launched for me at Freshwater boat yard St Mawes including a sea trial to help me familiarise myself with all the kit 

Many thanks to Edward Llewellyn and his team 

Greatly appreciated
