About us

We are a marine consulting company focused on bringing the best international skills, construction techniques and practices to the yachting industry. We operate internationally.

Our in-house quality control/assurance program for vessel construction has been refined over 40 years as its members have performing it internationally. It has evolved with input through experience working in leading international shipyards and with close involvement with major statutory authorities such as the Royal Institute of Naval Architects, International Institute of Marine Surveying and Maritime New Zealand.

Portrush has also served as advisor to superyacht projects and consultant to governmental bodies in the Pacific.

Testimonials

My company has been importing and selling boats since 2006 from all over the world. We have always trusted Stan Collett of Portrush Holdings with the commissioning and repairing of our boats. He approaches each job with integrity and professionalism that reflects his experience.

He was able to provide indepth reports and surveys which were accurate and detailed along with photos. He also corresponded well with our clients and suppliers when it came to working on insurance and warranty issues.

I recommend Stan as he is very knowledgeable on steel vessels. He surveyed the last one sold for us, he is very thorough, and he spends time explaining what he finds, which is a step beyond most surveyors.

Stan Collett has been our Surveyor for over 6 years. Stan provides very professional and knowledgeable service in surveying our commercial vessels both to meet legislative requirements as well as in assisting us with advice on a new vessel build and pre-purchase inspections on recreational vessels.

We have always found Stan to be easily accessible and our requirements met to a very high and thorough standard. His communication skills are excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending Stan Collett as a proficient, knowledgeable, reliable and efficient Surveyor.

Capt C (Stan) and I worked together for about 18 months on a project in Myanmar between 2013 and 2015. Stan was a delight to work with throughout. He was extraordinarily focussed, utterly committed (we regularly worked together until the wee hours of the morning!) and highly professional.

If you are looking for someone with a terrific work ethic, the mojo of ten people and that “can do / make it happen attitude”, together with a good sense of humour to boot, then Stan ticks all the boxes.

First class in every way and a massive addition to any team.

We hired Stan to perform a pre-purchase survey on an older sandwich construction catamaran. Stan meticulously surveyed the boat in question and pulled together a very thorough and thoughtful survey report that was not only instrumental in our purchase of the boat but will serve as a template for the refit we plan to perform. We would not hesitate to recommend Stan. His proactive and clear communication style make him easy to work with. His work ethic is second to none and he is able to leverage his extensive experience with yacht construction to produce one of the most helpful and useful survey reports I have received .

I recently hired Stanley Collett to complete a full survey (sea-trial + out-of-water inspection) for a Neel 51 2022 trimaran in Marsden Harbour. I found Stanley's on-boat work to be meticulous. In addition, he was most helpful with queries both before and after the survey and the survey report itself was comprehensive and made several key recommendations for immediate and future works. I would warmly recommend Stanley to other buyers.

Port Rush holdings Ltd have proved professional and reliable, we have no reservations in recommending them for all marine deliveries and surveys.

Words can't properly express my appreciation to you, John and Graham for your efforts. It was a great undertaking done in good humour and professionally. Without your help ELENA M would remain in Subic and become more of a cause of stress which I truly don't need. Thanks again to the three of you.
