The most experienced deck builders in the UK
Advanced Marine Decking was founded in Hamble in 2003 by Rob Tilney, a lifelong sailor and powerboater. Two decades on, we are the UK distributor for Flexiteek 3 and one of the country’s leading specialists in synthetic teak decking.
We sit inside Hamble Yacht Services Port with direct access to the water, a full boatyard and one of the largest, most skilled decking fabrication teams in the country. That means we can template your boat, cut it on CNC and fit it — without handing your deck to a third party.
- Bespoke CNC templating for one-off shapes, borders and lettering
- Factory-fit programmes for OEM boat builders, and refits for owners
- No deck too small or too large – swim platforms to superyacht decks
- Based on the Solent, working throughout the UK and Ireland
Flexiteek 3, the ultimate decking solution
Flexiteek 3 is the material we recommend and install exclusively. It reads as real teak, rich tone, classic plank lines, tactile grain, while solving the three things owners actually complain about: weight, heat and maintenance.
35%
Lighter. Up to 35% lighter than comparable synthetic teak, which helps righting moment, fuel and tender lifting capacity.
30%
Cooler. Cools up to 30% faster than other synthetic decking – the difference between bearable and barefoot.
80%
Greener. Made from bio-attributed PVC, with up to 80% fewer greenhouse gases in manufacture than fossil-fuel PVC.
40+
Finishes. Fifteen plank colours across teak, scrubbed, bleached, weathered, ash, charcoal and tritone, with black, white or grey caulking.
Synthetic teak decking for every kind of vessel - and a few things that never go near the water
Every deck is templated to the individual boat, so hull shape and hardware are never a limitation. These are the surfaces we are asked for most often.
Sailing Boats
Side decks, coachroofs, cockpit soles and coamings, templated around every winch and track.
Power Boats
Bathing platforms, cockpits and foredeck sunpads with sweeping borders and margin planks.
Ribs
Grippy, hard-wearing decks for commercial RIBs and factory-fit superyacht tenders.
Barges
Wide walkways and wheelhouse floors that shrug off anchors, boots and fuel spills.
Catamarans
Large flat areas where weight matters – Flexiteek 3 keeps the aesthetic and loses the kilos.
Vehicles
Van floors, tailgates and load beds finished in the same marine-grade material.
Indoor Flooring
Bathrooms, wet rooms and garden studios that want a caulked-teak floor without the upkeep.
Tables
Cockpit tables, trays and inserts cut from offcuts to match your deck exactly.
How Flexiteek 3 compares to other decking
An honest side-by-side against the four surfaces we most often remove: real teak, first-generation synthetic teak, foam and painted non-skid.
