Who We Are

Halyard is a trusted specialist partner for marine exhaust systems and a range of other technical onboard equipment working with boat builders and yards across the leisure and commercial markets.

With decades of experience, we combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of the marine environment, delivering solutions that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.

What Drives Us

Over time, we have tackled a range of issues that affect the boating experience, from exhaust emissions to overboard discharges. Since the 1980’s, we have been designing exhaust systems and components for vessels powered by medium and high speed diesel engines. Our solutions support everything from small sailing boats to the largest superyachts, as well as the most demanding commercial vessels operating in the toughest conditions at sea.
