Professional Marine Services

Servicing Lake Macquarie, Newcastle & Port Stephens

About Us

RS Shipwrights Pty Ltd was founded by Director Ryan Scriven. Established in the industry for over 20 years.

From a very early age Ryan has held and incredible passion for boats of all shapes and sizes. Ryan began his career in England, apprenticing with the renowned master shipwright, the late Bill Green. While working under Bill’s watchful eye in his yard, Green Marine, Ryan cut his teeth working on some of the world’s most high-performance racing yachts, including participants in the pinnacles of ocean racing, the America’s Cup, the Volvo Ocean Race, and the TP 52 Super Series.

It is this passion that has led him to dedicate his entire professional career to the construction, maintenance, and repair of vessels of all types in and around Lake Macquarie, Newcastle & Port Stephens.

What Our Customers Have to Say

It was a pleasure to have Ryan onboard, he is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his work. Highly recommendable.

Robert L

The team at RS Shipwrights run a professional operation with great communication. Their work meets expectations and they got the job done when they said they would. We will definitely be using them again and happily recommending them to our clients.

Brock C

Ryan was extremely thorough and professional carrying out my 5 yearly survey for insurance. His flat rate charge was within the realms of reality compared to other surveyers I have used over the years and got quotes from recently. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone requiring their vessel surveyed for pre sale or insurance.

Mike H

Ryan has worked on my boat repairs on a few occasions and has not only displayed good problem solving skills but has demonstrated good workmanship in completing the repair neatly, improving the overall quality of my boat.

Greg F

I engaged Ryan from RS Shipwrights to install Teak coamings to my C40 Caribbean "Dark N Stormy". I wanted something different I hadn't seen before on a C40 with the original design, The gunwale spray rails required to be cut out to allow a full Teak Board to be installed. With my expectation and high standards, from start to finish the process was seamless. Ryan's attention to detail is second to none. The finished project exceeded my expectations. I would not recommend anyone else for any Shipwright works.

Thanks so much Ryan and Cam for your help with the great repair work you did on our Catamaran Stormtrooper, you really can’t see where the damage was . Also, thanks for all your tips on general repairs and work around the boat and for keeping us informed all the time about what was happening. I will certainly be recommending you to all my sailing buddies.
