SEALIFT 2
Using the new Sealift 2 to lift your boat out of the water, is simple, stress free, and really quick and easy.
How does it work, all you do is motor your boat between two arms, which then will close on your topsides. Then a platform is raised until it meets your keel tie off fore and aft lines tightly and sit back and relax whilst Ralph and his team raise you out of the water. Its easy to do single handed as they tell you when you need to stop and they will straighten you so that your boat is in the right position.
There are two waiting pontoons either side of the lift and you can enter from up or down stream.
We lifted our boat out for this time to replace an anode. The Sealift2 services include, antifouling, anode replacement, wash off, repairs. You can book for a quick lift or over night if you have a longer job to do.

Sealift2 is the result of 30 years design, construction and operation of pneumatic dock systems and related services. The floating dock has been designed to lift yachts and motor boats at sea, allowing cleaning and other forms of external maintenance ( anode replacement, prop changes and general below water services) to be carried out quickly and efficiently. The docks combine speed and stability with a double lifting arm design, giving the boat owner a fast, cost effective and completely new cleaning and maintenance service.

About the company
Sealift2 International Ltd was set up to build and operate this revolutionary docking and lifting system in the UK. Its speed and ability to operate in open water makes it a very practical proposition in congested harbours and allows a more profitable use of valuable foreshore. It is eco-friendly. Everything washed from a boat is collected in a sump and disposed of strictly in accordance with local laws and regulations.
We currently have one floating dock system in Cowes, Isle of Wight with a capacity of 30 tonnes and two more platforms along the south coast of England with increased lifting capacity of up to 50 tonnes are being planned.
