Crewsaver

Crewsaver is Britain and Ireland's best-known lifejacket brand, and Galway Maritime is Crewsaver's official distributor and lifejacket service centre for Ireland. We stock their full range, from leisure inflatables through to commercial and rescue-grade jackets, and service every inflatable we sell.

Crewsaver's range splits broadly into three tiers. The leisure range (including the Crewfit inflatables) covers general sailing, motorboating and family use, in 150N and 275N buoyancy options with automatic or manual inflation. A commercial range is built to meet the higher specification required for commercial and workboat use, with more robust construction and certification to match.

A rescue and professional range is built for lifeboat crew, harbour and emergency-service use, prioritising durability and performance in the most demanding conditions over comfort or price. Whichever tier, buoyancy rating and inflation type (automatic vs manual) are the two questions that matter most - see our Leisure Lifejackets category for guidance if you're buying for general sailing. As Ireland's official Crewsaver distributor and service centre, we can also advise on the right jacket for your specific boating and keep it serviced annually at our Galway premises.

Is Galway Maritime an official Crewsaver dealer?

Yes - we're Crewsaver's distributor and lifejacket service centre for Ireland.

What's the difference between Crewsaver's leisure and commercial ranges?

The commercial range is built and certified to the higher specification required for commercial/workboat use; the leisure range covers general sailing and motorboating.

How often should a Crewsaver inflatable be serviced?

Once a year, and after every inflation - book through our lifejacket servicing page.

Dubarry

Dubarry is an Irish footwear and technical-casual clothing brand, best known for its waterproof, breathable leather sailing boots - including the Galway boot, named after our own city - alongside softer technical pieces that work as well ashore as afloat.

Dubarry's sailing boots use a waterproof, breathable membrane inside full-grain leather, giving genuine all-day waterproofing with far more comfort and style than a rubber boot, which is why they've become as much an everyday country boot as a strictly sailing one - the Galway remains one of the most recognisable styles in the range. Fit is worth trying in person where possible: leather boots break in and mould to the foot over time, so a size that feels snug new usually settles well, but a boot that's already loose will only get looser. Beyond footwear, Dubarry's technical-casual clothing (gilets, jackets, knitwear) shares the same weatherproof, understated approach, suited to anyone who wants gear that moves easily from the boat to the pub afterwards.

To keep leather boots performing, clean off salt and mud after use and re-treat periodically with a dedicated leather care and waterproofing product - ordinary shoe polish isn't a substitute and can affect the breathable membrane.

Are Dubarry boots actually waterproof, or just water-resistant?

Genuinely waterproof - they use a waterproof, breathable membrane inside the leather, not just a treated leather surface.

How do I care for Dubarry leather boots?

Clean off salt and mud after use and re-treat periodically with a dedicated leather care and waterproofing product designed for breathable membranes.

Are Dubarry boots only for sailing?

No - the range crosses over into everyday and country wear, which is a big part of their appeal beyond the boat.

Epifanes

Epifanes is a Dutch brand specialising in traditional varnishes and enamels for wood-built and classic boats, prized for the deep, glass-like finish their varnishes build on brightwork that modern synthetic coatings struggle to match.

Epifanes' clear varnish is built up in multiple thin coats to give traditional brightwork - toerails, handrails, tillers, cabin trim - real depth and a long-lasting UV-resistant finish, though it demands patience: expect several coats with light sanding between each for the best result, rather than one or two heavy coats. A rapid-drying varnish option speeds up the recoat schedule where conditions or time are tight, useful for anyone trying to fit varnishing around Irish weather windows. Epifanes' mono-urethane enamels give a hard, high-gloss single-pack finish for hulls and topsides on wood or GRP boats wanting a traditional look without the complexity of a two-pack system.

As with any varnish, timing matters as much as product: work in dry, settled conditions, avoid direct sun that can cause the coat to skin over unevenly, and always lightly sand and wipe down between coats for proper adhesion.

How many coats of Epifanes varnish do I need on brightwork?

Typically several thin coats built up over time (often 6 or more for new wood), with light sanding between coats, rather than one or two thick applications.

What's the difference between standard and rapid-drying Epifanes varnish?

The rapid-drying option cuts the time between coats, useful when you're working around a tighter weather window, though standard varnish is often preferred for the very best final finish.

Can I use Epifanes enamel on a GRP hull, or is it just for wood boats?

It works on GRP as well as wood - it's popular on wood-built boats for its traditional look, but isn't limited to them.

International 

International Paint is one of the biggest names in marine coatings worldwide, and we stock their antifouling and topcoat ranges - including the widely trusted Micron and Cruiser antifoulings and the Perfection topcoat system - for hulls that need dependable, long-lasting protection.

Micron antifoulings are self-polishing, meaning the coating wears away in a controlled way as the boat moves, continually exposing fresh biocide and staying effective through the season without heavy scrubbing - a strong choice for boats that are used regularly. Cruiser antifoulings are a more affordable, hard-wearing alternative, well suited to boats that spend more time on a mooring or need a coating that tolerates scrubbing and drying out between tides. Perfection is International's premium two-pack topcoat system, giving a harder, higher-gloss, more durable finish than a standard single-pack enamel, at the cost of a more demanding application process - it rewards careful prep and application conditions with a finish that holds its shine for several seasons.

Whichever product, always check compatibility if you're overcoating a different existing antifouling brand, since some chemistries need a barrier coat rather than direct overcoating.

Micron or Cruiser antifouling?

Micron suits boats used regularly and left afloat, thanks to its self-polishing action; Cruiser suits boats that spend more time on a mooring or need to tolerate drying out and scrubbing.

Is Perfection topcoat harder to apply than a standard enamel?

Yes - as a two-pack system it needs more careful mixing, timing and conditions than a single-pack enamel, but gives a harder, glossier, longer-lasting finish in return.

Can I apply Micron over a different antifouling brand?

Usually, but check compatibility first - some existing coatings need a barrier coat before overcoating with a different antifouling chemistry.

Jotun

Jotun is a Norwegian marine coatings manufacturer with decades of experience protecting boats in cold, demanding North Atlantic waters - conditions close to what Irish boats face. We stock their antifouling and topcoat ranges, giving reliable protection below the waterline and a hard, weather-resistant finish above it.

Jotun's antifouling range spans eroding and hard formulations, so the right choice depends on your boat's speed and how often you're prepared to scrub or reapply: an eroding antifouling wears away steadily and stays effective with minimal maintenance, while a harder-wearing formulation suits faster boats or those hauled and relaunched more than once a season. Jotun's topcoat range gives a durable, glossy, UV-resistant finish for hull sides and superstructure, formulated to hold its colour and shine through a full Irish season of sun, rain and salt spray rather than chalking after one summer. As with any two-part or high-build marine coating, surface prep and application temperature make more difference to the final result than brand choice - always check the specific product's data sheet for overcoating times and minimum temperatures before starting a job.

See our antifouling guide for a full walk-through on choosing and applying Jotun antifouling for Irish conditions.

What Jotun antifouling should I use for Galway Bay?

It depends on your boat's speed and how often you haul out - talk to us about your usage pattern and we'll match you to an eroding or harder-wearing option from the range.

Can I apply Jotun antifouling over a different brand's old coat?

Usually yes, provided the old coat is sound and compatible - check the product data sheet or ask us, since some antifouling chemistries shouldn't be applied directly over others.

How long does a Jotun topcoat finish last?

With good prep and application, a season or more of UV and weather exposure before it needs refreshing - exact longevity depends on conditions and how exposed the boat's mooring is.

Meaco

Meaco is a British dehumidifier and air-treatment specialist, and the brand we recommend most for Irish boats and homes. We stock the full range from compact desiccant units for a single cabin up to higher-capacity compressor models for a heated room, plus the MeacoClean air purifier for households dealing with dust and allergens.

Meaco's range splits into desiccant and compressor models, and the right one depends on where it's working rather than which is 'better' outright. The DD8L is the standard desiccant model and the one we recommend most for boat cabins, sheds and garages that go unheated over winter - it keeps extracting moisture even in the cold, where a compressor unit stalls. The DD8L Junior is the same desiccant technology in a smaller, lighter unit for a single small cabin or compartment where a full-size DD8L isn't needed.

The DD8L Pro Desiccant steps up from the standard DD8L with finer digital control and a laundry-drying mode, worth the extra if you want more than basic damp control. For a heated home, the Zambezi and MeacoDry ABC (10L/12L) compressor models extract moisture faster and more cheaply in warmer rooms than a desiccant unit would. The MeacoClean CA-HEPA is a separate product again - an air purifier, not a dehumidifier - so pair it with one of the above if damp, not air quality, is what you're solving.

Which Meaco dehumidifier is best for a boat?

The DD8L (or the smaller DD8L Junior for a single cabin) - both are desiccant models that keep working in the cold, unheated conditions typical of a boat over winter.

What's the difference between the DD8L and the DD8L Pro Desiccant?

Same core desiccant technology and capacity broadly, but the Pro adds finer digital control and extra modes including laundry drying.

Is the MeacoClean CA-HEPA a dehumidifier?

No - it's an air purifier that filters dust and allergens. It doesn't remove moisture, so it doesn't replace a dehumidifier for damp control.

Musto

Musto is a British technical sailing brand, trusted from dinghy parks to offshore race boats. We stock their outerwear across sailing, offshore and casual technical wear, so there's a Musto option whether you're racing a dinghy in Galway Bay or making an offshore passage in full foul-weather gear.

Musto's ranges sit on a spectrum from lighter coastal and inshore wear up to fully offshore-rated foul-weather gear, and matching the range to how exposed your sailing actually is matters more than buying the heaviest option 'to be safe'. Inshore and coastal jackets are lighter, more breathable and easier to move in for day sailing, dinghy sailing or crewing - offshore-rated gear is built for sustained heavy weather and is warmer and stiffer than most day sailors need. Fit is worth getting right in person or with accurate measurements rather than guessing a usual clothing size: sailing jackets and salopettes are cut to layer over thermals and a buoyancy aid or lifejacket, so a size that fits well without layers can feel tight once you're actually dressed for the water.

Look after waterproof gear with the right cleaner and re-proofer (rather than standard laundry detergent) to keep the breathable membrane and taped seams performing over several seasons.

What's the difference between Musto's inshore and offshore ranges?

Offshore gear is built heavier and more waterproof for sustained rough-weather exposure; inshore/coastal gear is lighter and more breathable for day sailing and calmer conditions.

How should I size Musto sailing jackets and salopettes?

Size to fit over the thermal and mid layers you'll actually wear sailing, not your usual clothing size on its own - try them on with layers where possible.

How do I care for Musto waterproof gear?

Use a technical cleaner and re-proofer made for waterproof/breathable fabrics rather than standard detergent, which can clog the membrane and reduce performance over time.

Ocean Signal

Ocean Signal is a British safety-electronics manufacturer specialising in compact EPIRBs, PLBs and AIS beacons. We stock their range for anyone needing a reliable way to raise the alarm and be found quickly in an emergency at sea.

An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is registered to your boat and typically mounted where it can be reached or float free in an emergency, transmitting your position via satellite to alert search and rescue. A PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) does a similar job but is personal and portable - registered to an individual rather than a vessel, small enough to carry on your lifejacket, and just as relevant for hillwalking or other activities as for boating. Many offshore sailors carry both: an EPIRB for the boat and a PLB per crew member, so a beacon goes with each person even if they end up separated from the vessel.

AIS units add a different capability - a personal AIS beacon (like a man-overboard beacon) alerts nearby vessels with AIS receivers directly, which can bring help faster in a crowded area than a satellite alert alone, and works well alongside, not instead of, an EPIRB or PLB. All Ocean Signal beacons need registering with the Irish Coast Guard once purchased.

EPIRB or PLB - which do I need?

An EPIRB is registered to and typically mounted on the boat; a PLB is personal and portable. Many offshore sailors carry both, so a beacon goes with each crew member as well as the vessel.

What does an AIS beacon do that an EPIRB doesn't?

It alerts nearby vessels with AIS receivers directly, which can bring help faster in busy waters - it complements rather than replaces an EPIRB or PLB's satellite alert.

Do I need to register my Ocean Signal beacon?

Yes - register any EPIRB or PLB with the Irish Coast Guard once purchased, so your details are on file if it's ever activated.

Owatrol

Owatrol is a Belgian brand best known for penetrating oils and rust treatments that get into places conventional paint can't reach. We stock their core products for reviving tired paintwork, treating rust before it spreads, and improving how other paints and varnishes flow and adhere.

Owatrol Oil is the brand's best-known product - a penetrating, non-drying oil that soaks into porous or chalky old paintwork and metal, reviving faded gel coat and priming rusted metal ahead of painting, and it's also used as a paint additive to improve flow and penetration in oil-based paints and varnishes. Owatrol D1 (Deep Penetrating Oil) is formulated specifically for rust treatment - it penetrates rust and displaces moisture, converting and stabilising corrosion on ironwork, chain and fittings rather than just sitting on the surface like a standard rust converter. Both are surface treatments rather than a finish in themselves: use Owatrol Oil or D1 as a prep step, then follow with the appropriate topcoat or paint once the treated surface has had time to work.

On badly rusted or pitted metal, expect to need more than one application before painting over.

What is Owatrol Oil used for?

It's a penetrating oil that revives faded, chalky paintwork and primes rusted metal ahead of painting, and can be added to oil-based paints and varnishes to improve flow.

What's the difference between Owatrol Oil and Owatrol D1?

Owatrol Oil is the general-purpose penetrating/reviving oil and paint additive; D1 is formulated specifically for treating rust and displacing moisture on corroded metal.

Can I paint straight over Owatrol D1?

Follow the product's recommended drying/working time before overcoating - it's a prep/treatment step, not a finish, so it needs time to work on the rust before you paint.

Palm

Palm Equipment is a British paddlesports brand, and we stock their buoyancy aids and drysuits for kayaking, canoeing and other paddle activities - gear built for full-time immersion in the water, not just spray protection.

A buoyancy aid, not a lifejacket, is the standard choice for kayaking and paddling: it's designed to keep an already-swimming paddler afloat and offer freedom of movement for paddling, rather than turning an unconscious wearer face-up like an offshore lifejacket. Fit matters more for a buoyancy aid than almost any other piece of paddling kit - it should sit snugly enough that it doesn't ride up over your head in the water, with side or front adjustment to get a close fit over what you're wearing underneath. A drysuit is the step up for cold-water paddling, sea kayaking, or any activity where prolonged immersion is a real possibility - it seals at the neck, wrists and ankles to keep you dry (and, with the right underlayers, warm) rather than just repelling splash like a spray top.

Check drysuit seals and zips before each significant trip, since a worn latex seal or a dry zip that isn't waxed is the most common point of failure.

Do I need a buoyancy aid or a lifejacket for kayaking?

A buoyancy aid - it's designed for an active, already-swimming paddler and gives the freedom of movement paddling needs, unlike a bulkier offshore lifejacket.

When do I need a drysuit rather than just paddling gear?

For cold water, sea kayaking, or any trip where prolonged immersion is a real possibility - a drysuit keeps you dry and warm rather than just repelling splash.

How do I maintain a Palm drysuit?

Check the neck, wrist and ankle seals and the waterproof zip before significant trips, and wax the zip periodically - worn seals and dry zips are the most common failure points.

Sikaflex

Sikaflex is the marine industry's standard name in polyurethane adhesives and sealants, used for everything from bedding deck hardware to bonding structural joints below decks. We stock the core marine grades for both general bonding/sealing and higher-strength structural use.

The main choice within the range is flexibility versus strength. A general-purpose adhesive/sealant grade suits bedding deck fittings, portlights and hardware where some movement between materials is normal and a rigid bond would eventually crack. A higher-strength structural grade is formulated for permanent bonding - such as hull-to-deck joints or structural panels - where holding power matters more than flexibility.

For below-the-waterline use, always check the specific product is rated for permanent water immersion, since not every Sikaflex grade is. Surface prep matters as much as the product itself: clean, dry and correctly primed surfaces (where the product calls for a primer) make the difference between a joint that lasts years and one that fails within a season. Mask off cleanly before application - cured polyurethane sealant is very difficult to remove from gel coat without damaging the surface.

Which Sikaflex grade should I use for deck hardware?

A general-purpose marine adhesive/sealant grade is right for most deck fittings, where some flexibility between the fitting and the deck is expected.

Can I use Sikaflex below the waterline?

Only a grade specifically rated for permanent water immersion - check the product data sheet before using any polyurethane sealant below the waterline.

How do I remove excess Sikaflex before it cures?

Wipe it away immediately with the solvent/cleaner recommended for that product - once cured, polyurethane sealant is very difficult to remove without risking damage to gel coat.

Victron Energy

Victron Energy is a Dutch marine and off-grid power specialist, and the brand we recommend for boat electrical systems - inverters, battery chargers, battery monitors and DC-DC converters built to run reliably on a boat's 12V/24V system.

An inverter/charger combines two jobs in one unit: it inverts battery power to run mains appliances aboard, and charges the battery bank when you're connected to shore power - worth choosing over separate units if space and simplicity matter more than flexibility. A standalone battery charger suits boats that don't need an inverter but want reliable, battery-friendly charging from shore power or a generator. A battery monitor tracks state of charge, voltage and current in real time rather than leaving you guessing from voltage alone - genuinely useful once you're relying on the battery bank for more than engine starting.

Lithium batteries hold more usable capacity for their size and weight and charge faster than AGM, but need a charging system and battery monitor specifically compatible with lithium chemistry - don't assume an existing AGM-configured system will charge lithium safely without checking compatibility first. AGM remains a solid, lower-cost option for boats with modest power demands.

Do I need an inverter/charger, or a separate charger and inverter?

A combined inverter/charger saves space and wiring complexity for most boats; separate units suit boats needing more flexibility or higher individual capacity in either function.

Is a battery monitor worth adding to my boat?

Yes, if you rely on your battery bank for anything beyond engine starting - it shows real state of charge rather than the rough guide voltage alone gives you.

Can I switch from AGM to lithium batteries without changing anything else?

Not usually - check your charger, inverter/charger and monitor are all rated for lithium chemistry before switching, as an AGM-only charging profile isn't safe for lithium cells.
