Founded in Emsworth
by the Parham family over 100 years ago

Welcome

My family has had a passion for the sea and the vessels that travel on her for as long as I can remember. Every aspect of boating has been explored by us in some way or another, from boat building, to engineering to just enjoying being at sea. My family have lived and worked Emsworth for generations.

About Us

The Parham’s have an integral link to this quaint coastal village and, once upon a time, owned a very successful business making beautiful Faulk boats right in Dolphin Quay. Many of which are still being enjoyed by their owners today. It is a vocation that has been passed down through the years and is still very much the reason that drives my enthusiasm for marine engineering and instills the pride, effort and care that I put into every aspect of my business.

From a very young age I have had my own boat, albeit when I was small, a dingy! It was inevitable that I would follow my family into the Marine world, just on a slightly different path as boat building and maintenance has evolved and changed with the times.  At the age of 16 I began my journey as a marine engineer, and now, over 20 years later I am vastly experienced, highly trained and skilled Volvo Penta specialist marine engineer.

Testimonials

Lee was brilliant. He came out at short notice and fixed a problem with our boat just in time for a planned family outing. Great service, brilliant price and would strongly recommend to anyone in need of boat repairs!

- Elizabeth Caldicott

SCME regularly service our boats at a great price with zero fuss. Lee is very friendly and nothing is ever too much. Thank you

 - David Swan

We had a problem that multiple engineers either couldn't fix or would only give us temporary joy. SCME were able to provide a complete fix and things have been great ever since. Runs like a dream now! Thanks to Lee and all the team at SCME. Would recommend.
