Websites & yard systems for boat businesses

Websites that keep your yard booked.

Fast, custom-built websites and one joined-up system for boat yards, marine engineers, riggers, chandlers and sailing schools - built by an America's Cup boat-builder who knows the difference between a fair hull and a fair price. See yours free before you pay a penny.

FIG. 00The standard

I spent years building America's Cup yachts and McLaren panels — work where a millimetre out is a millimetre too far. Now I build websites and software for boat businesses with exactly the same obsession.

FIG. 01The flagship · the yard system

One system that runs the whole yard.

Most yards run on a diary, a whiteboard and a mountain of paper. I replace the lot with one custom system - every boat, owner, job, lift-out slot and invoice in one place, built around how your yard actually works. Same for chandlers, engineers and sailing schools.

Your OverseerAlways on · knows your whole yard
Which boats are due lift-out this month?
Six - I've listed them. Three owners haven't confirmed a date yet. Want me to email them?
Who still owes for winter storage?
You're owed £2,340 across 4 boats. Alacrity is 18 days overdue. Shall I chase it?

Cortex · my own studio's brain
Cortex - a custom desktop system running a whole studio from one window
/ Proof, not promises

I gave my own studio a brain. Yours gets the same engine.

A full desktop system I designed and built to run my entire studio from one window - every project, job, agent and number in one place. It's the proof I build real, working software, not slideshows - and the same engine becomes the system I build around your yard.

  • Every boat, owner and number on one screen
  • Nothing slips - it remembers so you don't have to
  • Built and run for real, every single day - not a mock-up
  • Bespoke and white-labelled - your yard's name on it, your way of working
What the yard system does

The whole yard, finally in one place.

/ 01

One screen, the whole yard

Today's jobs, which boats are in, what's owed and what's due out - the second you open it.

/ 02

Boat records, kept properly

Every boat, its owner, engine and full history - from the last antifoul to that gel repair in 2023.

/ 03

Lift-outs & storage

Hoist slots, cradles, berths and renewals - booked, tracked and never double-booked again.

/ 04

Job cards, start to finish

Estimate to in-the-shed to done to paid - every job tracked, so nothing winters in limbo.

/ 05

Invoices & payments

Invoice straight from the job card, see what's outstanding at a glance, and let it chase the late payers.

/ 06

Reminders that pay for themselves

Service due, storage renewals, lift-out confirmations - sent automatically, so the diary fills itself.

Free demo

I build a real, working demo of your new site - using photos of your actual yard and boats - so you can see exactly what you'd get.

2

Have a look

Like it? We tweak anything you want. Not for you? No harm done, and nothing to pay.

I get it live on your own domain, with local SEO baked in - "boat repair Weymouth" and every search like it - and you only pay once you're happy.

The website

Care & hosting keeps everything live and looked after - domain, backups and changes whenever you need them. Cancel any time, no contract. Websites and systems both start the same way: a free demo before you spend a penny.

FIG. 06Why Kerb

A boat-builder. Not an agency.

Your boats, your yard

Built from photos of your actual work, not stock - so it looks like your yard and earns trust the moment an owner lands on it.

/ 03

Found on Google

Local SEO baked in from the start, so boat owners searching your patch find you - not the marina two harbours over.

/ 04

Fast & zero-risk

Quick to build, fast to load, and you see a free demo of your own site before any money changes hands.

/ Built by hand, both careers

Hi, I'm Kieran - and I build it myself.

I started out as a fisherman, then spent years as a boat-builder - on America's Cup and IMOCA racing yachts, super-yachts for Sunseeker, Princess and Oyster, and composite panels for McLaren and Ferrari. Work where a millimetre out is a millimetre too far.

After years of it, a bit older and a bit sorer, I fancied a change - so I taught myself to build software and websites, and started Kerb and UK Gold Prospector. Now I bring that same obsession with getting the details right back to the world I came from: boats, and the people who work on them.

So when you work with Kerb, you're working with someone who actually builds and runs his own live products - UK Gold Prospector, Wild Swim Map, Cortex - not an agency reselling someone else's work.

  • Based on the Dorset coast - Weymouth, Portland, Poole and the whole South Coast
  • You deal with me directly, start to finish - never an account manager
  • A free demo of your own before you pay a penny
