David Bailey Developments was formed in 1999 by David and Patti Bailey, based on their own experiences of solving problems associated with boating. They often found that the 'essential' gadget required to do a simple job was simply not available! So they decided to make the gadgets themselves. The Levitator is the first product to be launched commercially, and has been sold to over 12 countries.

Everyone who has a boat knows the scenario - you have made the most of a rare sunny afternoon and taken your beautiful boat out of the Marina for a cruise. You get back to the berth - start to wash the boat down - and realistically can only do one side due to the lack of pontoon! So, you end up on deck, leaning precariously over the side trying to make the hosepipe go where you want!

David made the first prototype out of washing machine hose - and it worked! Everyone walking past whilst the gadget was in operation said 'where did you get that - it's brilliant'. The design was improved, a production facility was sourced, a patent applied for and they haven't looked back.
