boatyard

Hull repair facility

A boatyard is a place where boats are built, repaired, or stored.

Unlike a marina, which focuses on docking and services for boats in the water, a boatyard typically has facilities for hauling vessels out and working on them on land: We had the hull repainted at the boatyard.
