Galley Units
Compact, Functional Galleys with Timeless Timber Craftsmanship
At Sutherland Joinery, we create bespoke galley units designed for life at sea — compact, durable, and built with the same care and attention we bring to every aspect of our marine joinery. Whether for a traditional sailing yacht or a practical motor cruiser, we design galleys that make efficient use of limited space without compromising on craftsmanship or style.
From full galley installations to individual cupboards or worktops, our timber joinery is shaped to your boat’s layout and your needs on board.
Made for Life at Sea
Marine kitchens demand thoughtful design: everything needs to be secure, space-saving, and easy to use in motion. Our custom galley units are built with:
Hardwood cabinetry for strength and resilience
Secure storage for provisions, cookware, and utensils
Worktops made from durable timber or composite materials such as Himacs or Corian
Appliance housing designed to fit stoves, sinks, fridges, or water tanks
Ventilation and drainage considered from the start
We tailor every unit to the available space, ensuring it blends with existing fittings and supports safe, comfortable cooking on board.
Custom Fit & Finish
Each galley is built to fit your vessel precisely, whether tucked into a corner or laid out along a bulkhead. We work with high-quality, marine-grade materials including teak, oak, iroko, and marine ply, with joinery finished to your preference in oil, varnish, or paint. We use a range of two pack and single part paint systems to suit the needs of your vessel.
Optional features include:
Fold-down worktops and hinged extensions
Lipped edges and fiddle rails to contain movement
Slide-out or lockable drawers and shelving
Integrated bin, utensil, and spice storage
Classic or contemporary styling, depending on your vessel
Part of a Full Fit-Out or a Standalone Upgrade
Our galleys can be delivered as part of a complete cabin fit-out, or as a standalone addition or upgrade. We can also reproduce or restore original galley layouts, matching existing materials and construction methods where needed.
