The pontoon's knowledge, written down

Every marina has a few people who know everyone: the engineer who's reliable, the yard that's fair, the painter who's free in March. If you're new, or only down at weekends, you don't get that knowledge. Ask the Pontoon is here to share it.

What we're for

Marinas usually publish a list of approved trades, but a list doesn't tell you who to call first, what to say, or what the job should cost. We write the friendly version. The test for every page is simple: would it help someone standing on the pontoon wondering who to ask?

How we work

• Independent. We're not run by any marina, boatyard or trade body, and nobody pays to be listed.
• Listings, not endorsements. Harbour guides list who works there, based on what the marina and businesses publish. We say where each list comes from and when we last checked it.
• Sources shown. Every guide links to where its facts and prices come from.
• No cookies, no tracking. Nothing you type into our tools leaves your browser.

Help us get it right

If a business has moved, a price is out of date, or you know a good trade we've missed, tell us. If you'd like your harbour covered next, tell us that too.
