Dry docks, slipways, crane-outs and paint docks on the UK canals, for blacking, hull work and surveys. Each listing gives the largest boat the site can take, whether you can do the work yourself, prices where the yard publishes them, and how to book. Listings show the date they were last checked. Sizes and prices change, so confirm with the yard before you travel. Run a dock that’s missing or out of date? Suggest an edit.
