We felt we would like to write and thank you for the great service we received during the recent purchase of our boat Sammy Jo. From the initial inspection through to the completion of the purchase procedure it has been a pleasure to deal with you. Everyone at the Marina has been very friendly and helpful, and still are, so we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else who was thinking of buying a boat.

John & Margaret Dunster (Sammy Jo)

My wife and I would like to thank you for the efficient, friendly and professional service we received from you when you sold our boat recently. It isn’t often that I find myself writing about service received these days and when I do it’s usually to complain, so it is refreshing to be able to write this in glowing terms. I must confess I wasn’t looking forward to the process and fully expected to be in for the long haul. Far from it – the whole process went like clockwork and I had no qualms at all about leaving the boat in the hands of your staff at the Marina – (Tattenhall). The boat sold very quickly – (just a couple of days after leaving it with you) but what I appreciated more than anything else was being kept informed of progress at each stage of the sale process. Well done and thanks again.

B. & S. Stevenson (Pastorale)

We would like to say a big thank you for the way you handle the sale of our narrow boat, Gentle Presence. The service we received was very efficient from the initial inspection and pricing to the completion. It was a pleasure to deal with you and would not hesitate to recommend Great Haywood boat brokerage to anyone who was thinking of selling or buying a boat. Once again thank you for a friendly and very helpful service.

Jennie and Ken Owen (Gentle Presence)

I would just like to thank you and the rest of your team for the professional way in which you helped me look for the right narrowboat to suit my requirements; and once I had found it your help in securing its purchase, The passage from prospective purchaser to owner was handled by you in a sympathetic but totally professional manner even to ensuring the seller was on hand when the boat was signed over so he and I could discuss the intricate details of the boat as I bought it. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who is looking to buy a narrowboat to contact you as I know they will not be disappointed. Thank you again.

Dick Starling (Crosby)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Great Haywood Boat sales. I have brought a narrow boat and sold a narrow boat through Great Haywood. They were professional from start to finish. I had no hassle and everything ran smoothly. All monies were in the bank when promised. I would recommend Great Haywood to anybody looking to buy or sell a boat.
PS A special thank you to Ellie.

Dennis Green (Grand Ventana)

Just a quick line to Great Haywood Boat Sales to thank the team for the easy and trouble free purchase of NB Namrod. We saw Namrod moored at Kings Bromley after logging onto Great Haywoods web site and phoned for a viewing on the Sat morning 2 days later. We were met by Ellie, shown around the boat checked all the paperwork and survey left a deposit and the following Friday Namrod was ours, after a electronic bank transfer, very quick and very easy. Namrod is our 3rd boat and is now moored at our old marina Ventnor, I would highly recommend Great Haywood as a broker and will certainly pop in at Wigrams Turn in the near future.

Geoff West (Namrod)

Buying a boat, it is said, is similar to buying a house and as such can be very stressful. I would like to thank you all for all the help and guidance you gave me recently in the purchase of Mikisa. From my first visit to your website, in my initial search for a boat, to steering her out of the basin one cold December morning, I was supported, advised and guided throughout the process. Any questions or queries I had were dealt with quickly and efficiently, no matter how trivial or basic they may have been, or seen to be. Particular mention must be made to Ellie, who at times must have felt like throwing me in the canal at some of my concerns, but was friendly, professional and totally unbiased in all her replies and information. If I asked a question I knew I would not get a sales pitch, but would get an honest answer. Thank you, and good luck for the future.

Alex Parker (Mikisa)

My wife and I would like to thank you for the way in which Great Haywood Boat Sales handled the sale of our boat.The sale was handled with the utmost professionalism and without any problems whatsoever. In fact, our boat was sold virtually as soon as you were contacted, underlining the fact that you have customers waiting.Thank you once again, and I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who has a boat for sale.

I am cynically wary of any “testimonials” extolling the virtues and good performance of any product or service – are they really unsolicited? – or a document prepared by “Marketing” personnel?Without wanting to be patronising in any way – This is an honest and genuine endorsement! Great Haywood Boat Sales really excel! They surpassed any claims they made! Four weeks from valuation to completed sale is not only outstanding but astonishing! The whole process was friendly, thorough and professional, with excellent communication and a secure hassle free transaction. A first class team that in my opinion are, talented and unbeatable! Our thanks to Steve, Brian and Ellie for the superb service and client support. A first class team that “does exactly what it says on the tin!” and “goes that extra mile!” With many thanks

Mike and Jan Edwards (Skara Brae)

BSC for Mr Seal received today thank you. The trip down to Newbury went uneventfully and the boat performed faultlessly making the trip very enjoyable. It was of course a steep learning curve but I think we’ve got all the boat’s systems sussed now. Many thanks for your thorough professional service which was in stark contrast to other brokerages attempting to flog some very tatty boats!

Geoff Newman (Mr Seal)
