The record for the largest boat to be lifted ashore at Largs Yacht Haven in Ayrshire was broken earlier this autumn by a beautiful American motor cruiser.
A Nordhavn 55 with a displacement of just over 57 tons was lifted ashore last month for winter storage and maintenance, becoming the largest motorboat in volume to be lifted at the Scottish marina.
Lifted by a yard team with over 100 years’ combined experience in boat lifting and launching at the Scottish marina, the Nordhavn lift drew quite a crowd with her high waterline proving quite a sight out of the water!

The 70ton Largs Yacht Haven boat hoist operates all-year round. Lifting takes place from our deep water hoist dock and boats can be lifted and held in the hoist for an hour or overnight for small jobs, or stored ashore. Vessels can be lifted to and from road transport as required.
Our crane can be used for all sorts of jobs including mast-stepping and engine lifts as required.
