Michael and Peter Delbridge, started messing about in boats at an early age.
Michael Delbridge
Both Peter and I have both grown up around the sea and around boats, and we love it!
Starting with dinghy sailing at an early age we both progressed to windsurfing to a very good standard, often racing each other all day long. Other passionate activities include water-skiing and scuba diving. My yacht sailing experience includes a number of UK and Mediterranean charters in boats typically between 40 and 50 feet.
I currently own a 7.5 meter diesel RIB which I keep moored near my house in Ocean Village, Southampton. This is the ideal performance boat for the Solent and it allows us to inspect potential boats to sell quickly and cheaply.
Boatshed Hamble is a new venture for Peter and I, but with our enthusiasm and passion for all things boats, we are extremely confident that we will be bringing a whole new improved level of service to all local boat owners.
