Dave's Boatyard
has been around for almost 30 years in different parts of the far north and as
far as Darwin. Dave's Boatyard is a family business owned
by David and Joanne Povis .We have 4 kids together Tavis - Lee , Jessica , Jason
- Jack , Max - Rileigh . My qualification starts as a Refrigeration
Mechanic, Marine Engineer, Master Class 5
Skipper and now boat building. My business associates and all those involved in
the yard are all professionals of many different fields ( Computer Technicians,
Engineers, Electricians,
Plumbers, Welders) and all of us enjoy
the totally laid back approach of the yards atmosphere , yet
maintain a professional approach to all . Our passion is all about boating and
adventure . We are always planning recreation time where we will take our 21'
Trojan on some touching journeys across many miles of coastal waters. Our
ventures include Cooktown to Cape Granville over 3 weeks, many times
from Lucinda to
Cairns via the Hinchinbrook Channel. Our latest journey was to tow our trusty steed to Weipa over
800 km of really shitty road then take all 6 of us up the west coast
of Queensland to the Torres Strait, just camping and threatening a fish or two . After
all that, I want to repair or sell your boat for you, fix your engine, or just
have a chat - We are all about a YES solution .
Lots more has happened since we first
posted this website, and we have been on a lot more fun adventures to far away
places. Including PNG and the Solomon Islands on our larger vessel The Lady
Emily. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
