Tonys Marine Service (TMS) was established in 1990 by Tony Hodges after spending several years working at Coleraine Boat Centre, situated in the heart of Coleraine on the River Bann. Tony started working at Coleraine Boat Centre in 1979 aged 16 and soon became an experience mechanic and water sports enthusiast. After a number of years he began to lease the workshop and run it independently from the rest of the Boat Yard.
