Boat Fittings

Boat Fittings: an online chandler for deck, rigging and below-deck hardware

Boat Fittings is a British online retailer of marine hardware and maintenance supplies, trading through boatfittings.co.uk. Its catalogue is organised around the parts a boat owner or yard needs to repair, replace or upgrade equipment, from deck fittings and standing rigging to plumbing components and electrical pumps. The store also offers bespoke stainless steel fabrication and wire rope work alongside its stocked ranges.

A catalogue built around where the part goes

Rather than a single flat list, the shop groups products into departments that reflect the areas of a vessel. The main divisions are Above Deck, Below Deck, Maintenance, Electrical and Fixings, with a separate Sale section and a Bespoke area for custom work.

• Above Deck: tube and tube fittings (bases and anchorages, connectors, end caps, hand rails), deck hardware (deck eyes, cleats, fairleads and rub strakes, brackets and mounts, hinges, latches and locking, canopy and bimini fittings, steering and rudder fittings, deck fillers and hatches, gas struts), standing rigging (wire rope and swage fittings, shackles and swivels, turnbuckles and rigging screws, furlers, mast and sail fittings, thimbles, stanchions), running rigging (pulley blocks, jam and cam cleats, fairleads and clutches, ropes and lines, sail shackles and sliders, winch handles, lazy jack kits) and mooring and anchoring (anchors and chain, mooring cleats, bow rollers).
• Below Deck: door and locker furniture (latches, hinges, stops and stays), brackets and stowage (teak holders and units, brackets and clips, table supports and hardware, hooks and handles), ventilation, and plumbing and engine room items such as bathroom and toilet fittings, hose and pipe fittings, engine room gas struts, impellers and TruDesign fittings.
• Maintenance: threaded and self-tapping fixings, nuts, washers, pins and pivots, lifting eyes, rivets and inserts, kit boxes, sacrificial anodes (aluminium for brackish water and zinc for salt water), fuel additives, surface preparation and cleaning products, paint brushes and rollers, paints, glues and treatments, lubricants, winch handles and repair products.
• Electrical: bilge pumps and water management (electric automatic and manual bilge pumps, float switches and sensors, submersible and in-line pumps, pump switches, water pressure pumps and accumulators), lighting and audio (navigation lights, general lighting, LED bulbs, audio speakers), and switches, panels, wiring, waterproof connectors and outlets.
• Fixings: set screws, machine screws and bolts, self-tapping and wood screws, nuts, washers, rivets and inserts, lifting eyes, pins and pivots, plus selection boxes.

Bespoke stainless work and wire rope

Beyond off-the-shelf parts, the site lists a Bespoke section covering low-cost design services, bespoke stainless fabrications and stainless steel wire ropes. A wire rope builder is also offered within the standing rigging range, suggesting made-to-measure assemblies rather than only fixed stock items.

The storefront includes a trade application route for business customers, alongside how-to guides and articles. Prices can be displayed inclusive or exclusive of VAT, and the basket calculates shipping and discounts at checkout. The company also maintains a presence on Facebook and Instagram under the Boat Fittings name.
