🔧 Behind the scenes at Vortec Marine — this is where the magic happens.

18 months ago we bought 3D printing, scanning and design fully in-house, meaning we can go from concept to a physical part in hours, not weeks.

Custom brackets, fittings, prototypes, one-off fixes, reverse engineering — if we can design it, we can print it, right here at Vortec Marine.

It's a game-changer for turnaround times and means we're not waiting on outside suppliers for the small stuff that keeps projects moving. More to come as we put this capability to work 👇

Sold it Monday, servicing it by Friday. 😄⚓

We just sold this beautiful Hinckley Picnic Boat 36EP — and the new owner didn't even wait to get comfortable before handing her over to us.

Not because anything's wrong, but because he knows we're the Hinckley experts, and he wants her getting a new engine and a proper going-over from people who actually know these boats inside and out.

That's the kind of trust we love to see. 🙌

New engine, fresh start, same iconic 36EP style. Watch this space.

Two brands, two very different days on the water — and that's exactly the point.

On Tuesday we took the Viggo C8 and the Hylas H57 out. It was a good reminder of why we're proud to represent both.

⚡ The Viggo C8 is all adrenaline — sharp handling, serious power, and a boat that rewards you the harder you push it. Pure performance powerboating.

⛵ The Hylas H57 is the opposite kind of thrill — quiet, capable, built for miles offshore in comfort. Everything about it is designed for the long haul, not the quick blast.

As agents for both Viggo and Hylas, days like this are what representing these brands is really about: two different visions of what time on the water should feel like, both done properly.

Whether you're chasing speed or serenity, we've got a boat for that conversation.

⚓ Maintenance never stops — even when she's for sale ⚓

This week, our Oyster 565 came out of the water for her routine haul-out — antifouling, hull inspection, running gear checked over, all the usual TLC.

It would be easy to let standards slip once a yacht goes on the market. We don't believe in that. A boat for sale is still someone's future pride and joy, and she deserves to be handed over in exactly the same condition we'd want her in ourselves.

Right down to the last coat of antifoul, she's being kept sea-ready — not showroom-ready. There's a difference, and it's one that matters the moment her new owner casts off for the first time.

🛥️ Oyster 565 — currently for sale, Lying Premier Swanwick Marina, UK.
🔧 Hauled out for scheduled maintenance
✅ Maintained so she's ready for adventure

Asking: GBP 1,900,000 UK VAT PAID

A well-kept boat tells you everything about how she's been looked after. This one's no exception.
