YACHT CRADLES
Whether you’re laying up for the winter, working on your hull, or managing a busy boatyard, having the right cradle makes all the difference. At The Yacht Leg and Cradle Company, we offer a full range of galvanised steel cradles to suit everything from private cruisers to 85-foot yachts — designed with both boat owners and yard operators in mind.
Our cradles are made to be practical, adaptable, and reliable. Whether you need something you can pack away in the back of a hatchback or a heavy-duty setup for a marina storage yard — we’ve got it covered.
Transportable Yacht Cradles
Ideal for private owners or clubs who need to remove the cradle from site. If you’re short on storage space or need something portable, our transportable cradles are the answer. Each unit breaks down into short sections (no longer than 1.20m), making it easy to pack into an estate car or hatchback. They’re delivered to your yard on pallets, and they’re light enough to handle without a forklift. But don’t be fooled — they’re still built from mild steel and fully galvanised for strength and corrosion resistance. Perfect if you need flexibility without compromising on safety.
Easily upgradeable with extra arms or keel bases for larger boats.

Stackable Yacht Cradles
Made for yards and marinas that need to save space. If you’re running a yard or working with limited storage, our stackable cradles are designed to fold flat when not in use. That means you can store more cradles in less space — a big win for busy operations. They’re one-piece, flat-pack designs — easy to move, set up, and stack. You can also add bow/stern supports to handle larger vessels with more overhang. Space-saving, yard-proven, and ideal for seasonal turnover. Designed to be used with masts removed and on solid, level ground.
For added footprint and increased hull stability. These are a variation of our stackable range, but with a wider, double-width base. That gives additional stability for boats with deeper or more rounded hulls. Still stackable, still simple — just with more surface contact and support. A great option for boats that need a little more cradle coverage.

Extra Large Yacht Cradles
Designed for big yachts — from 40ft up to 85ft. When you’re dealing with serious size and displacement, you need gear to match. Our XL Cradle range is made for large sailing yachts and is capable of handling the demands of high winds and exposed storage. You can choose from 6, 8, or 10-arm models, and all are supplied with the necessary webbing. When paired with ground anchors, they’re built to withstand up to Force 12 conditions — that’s steady 80mph winds, gusting 134mph. These are serious cradles for serious boats. Trusted by commercial yards and experienced boat movers.
Modular Cradles
For yards using boat movers or hoists. Need flexibility in your yard layout? Our modular cradles are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled on-site. They allow close positioning of yachts, making the most of your available space — especially when working with boat movers. If you're using hoists or hydraulic trailers, these are an ideal fit. They come fully galvanised and are engineered to support large vessels securely with the adaptability busy yards need. A favourite among professional yards and large storage operations.
