About HandyHarbour

The problem

Say you want a rigger to check, and perhaps replace, the rigging on your boat. Today that means asking around at the marina or searching for riggers in the Solent, then contacting each one individually by email or phone. Every reply and quote ends up scattered across your inbox, which makes it hard to compare prices, remember who said what, or keep track of where each conversation has got to.

It is slow, it is fiddly, and it puts people off getting work done on their boats.

How HandyHarbour helps

Boat owners post a job for free. Registered vendors in the area then send through their quotes, and you compare them side by side in one place. From the first enquiry to the finished job, everything lives in HandyHarbour rather than in your inbox.

You are kept in the loop at every step. When a vendor quotes, you receive a notification such as "You have received a quote", with the quote details included, so you always know what is happening without chasing anyone.

A simple tool for a specific job

HandyHarbour does one thing well. It is built for boat owners and marine trades, with the jargon, locations, and types of work that matter on the water. The aim is to make finding and managing marine work as straightforward as it should be.
