Voyager Boat Yard

Voyager Boatyard is the premier boatyard facility in the South West, with excellent slipway, suitable for lifting vessels of all sizes and unrivalled, covered space. We offer a variety of marine services, including storage, repairs, maintenance and new builds, along with on-site CCTV, free WiFi and a complementary pilotage service to ensure your safe arrival at Voyager Boatyard. Voyager Boatyard is partnering with Plymouth Boat Trips, the University of Plymouth, the University of Exeter, Teignbridge Propellers, MarRi-Uk and EV Parts UK in a ground breaking project to create the UK's first, sea going, electric passenger vessel, e-Voyager. The new green boat is set to launch in October 2020, mirroring Plymouth Boat Trips' existing ferry routes, including Cremyll Ferry, a busy commuter connection between Cornwall and Plymouth. The project is funded through the £1.4M Clean Maritime Call: a Maritime Research and Innovation UK (MarRI-UK) initiative supported by the Department for Transport (DfT), launched to support the UK's goal of zero emission shipping. Voyager Marine will be the only UK boat builder to offer the complete package of design, installation and maintenance of sea going, electric vessels, driving forward a cleaner and more sustainable future for the marine industry. Support for the e-Voyager project has come from the University of Plymouth and the University of Exeter via Environmental Futures & Big Data Impact Lab, a £6.4 million project to support small businesses, and the £4M Marine Business Technology Centre, both part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. Repurposed, Nissan Leaf batteries will be used in e-Voyager, meaning almost no maintenance and clear commercial benefits for businesses in the marine sector. The University of Plymouth's scientists will carry out research during the build, measuring emissions including noise pollution, air pollution and fuel consumption.
