CREATOR

Founder of Fitout Marine

David Blacoe

Born from a passion for boats and a new outlook on life, I left the corporate ladder behind me a number of years ago and took the first steps towards creating a new future, one that would accommodate my skillsets but most importantly one that I can be truly passionate about.
My lineage is engrained in boats. Growing up in Howth, Co. Dublin, I learned to sail Mirrors and Lasers as a child in Sutton Dinghy Club followed by keel boats in Howth Yacht Club. I was fortunate to sail on the ‘Asgard II’ as a young man, shortly before her sinking and on the Irish Navy’s sail training vessel ‘Credine’ for a period. I met my fiancé, Rosie, in 2018 and soon became steeped in the world of canal boats as she was living on a small narrow boat on Dublin’s Grand Canal. Rosies father, Chris, is a renowned boat builder based in North Tipperary, who I have worked with and learned a great deal from.
Having worked extensively on numerous yachts, barges, and river cruisers over the years, I understand the bespoke nature and intricacies of working on boats. I take pride in what I do and enjoyment from exceeding my clients’ expectations. Should you decide to work with us, you can take comfort in knowing that we treat every boat like it’s our own and every client as a friend.
