What others say
Captain Steve Heart
M/Y NORTHLANDER
I have worked with Paul from Island Varnish for well over 10 years, he has never disappointed with his artisan passion and understanding of our need to deliver the highest standards.
Captain Guy Hayward
ex S/Y WISP
During my tenure as captain onboard the 48m modern classic sloop Wisp from 2014 – 2017, one of my major maintenance concerns was keeping the large amount of exterior varnish in top condition. I had used Island Varnish before and had no hesitation to give Paul and his team the job of doing our biannual maintenance. I joined Wisp when she was newly commissioned at Royal Huisman shipyard. 3 years later Wisp`s varnish still looked in first class condition after 35,000 miles cruising due, in no small part, to the professional approach and attention to detail of Paul and his team. I would not hesitate to recommend Island Varnish to anyone who needs the bright work on their yachts maintained to a high standard.
James Puckle
Master of S/Y MIKADO
I have known Paul Scales for more than 25 years, and I use Island Varnish for all my varnishing needs. Paul takes great pride in his work and has been maintaining the varnish aboard Mikado for about 13 years now. I appreciate his honesty and attitude to getting the best result at the best price, within the available timeline. I hope to be using his services for many more years to come.
