I'm not too sure if i'm over thinking this.....
a UK company supplies services within the EU (not in the UK) to another UK company (both are registered for UK VAT). Normal rules apply - the place of supply is the place where the customer belongs. Therefore, normal UK VAT rules apply..... do you agree?

Sounds like normal rules - assuming the customer does not also have a place of business in the EU.
I am intrigued how the services can be made in the EU if the customer is not established there though. But then, I appreciate it is tricky to describe real life in a few words on Aweb.
Are you sure these could not be construed as a 'service related to land' - which would be chargeable where the land is?

Oh, I thought it related to the Marinas in some way..
Everything is pointing towards standard rules, in my view.
You're providing management consultancy on board "marine vessels" for a UK-based customer?
The only VAT "headache" here is for your client, who has engaged an inadequate adviser.
