Arklow Marine Services offers expert services to the marine industry inIreland and abroad, from boat building, repair and refurbishment, to offshore operation and maintenance (O&M).

We are a family run business that has been in operation in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, for over 150 years.  Now the company is headed up by brothers John Tyrrell, an I. Eng. AMI qualified Marine Engineer from Cork Regional College, Ireland and Billy Tyrrell, a BSc. qualified Naval Architect, from Hogere Technische School, Haarlem, Holland.

While John and Billy are both professionally qualified, they appreciate the invaluable knowledge, skills and expertise handed down to them, and learned firsthand from their late father Willie Tyrrell.  This unique combination has enabled them to develop Arklow Marine Services into the leading boat builders in Ireland.  

While boat building and marine engineering are still at the core of what we do, a strong general engineering division has been developed within the business.  We have diversified to offer general engineering services to the food, petrochemical, construction and other land-based industries, and this is a growing part of our business.

We have the facilities and the capabilities of our skilled staff to adapt to different engineering projects from the marine and land-based industries. We work on site in Arklow, while we also have the flexibility to operate a mobile engineering service where we can send members of our staff off-site to work on specific projects.
