 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently purchased an Ocean Master 630 from Morgan Marine in Brightlingsea, and the whole experience has been exceptional from start to finish. The team were brilliant, but a special mention must go to Barney Miller, who made the entire process effortless, enjoyable, and completely stress‑free.

Barney’s knowledge, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm shone through at every stage. Nothing was too much trouble, and he guided us through the purchase with real care and attention.

The boat was fitted with a VHF radio, Bluetooth radio and speakers, anti‑fouling, and delivered to us — all completed to an excellent standard. Every detail was handled with precision and pride.

We honestly cannot praise Morgan Marine, and especially Barney, highly enough. A fantastic company to deal with and a superb experience all round.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ordered at Southampton Boat Show a new Merryfisher 795. From first contact to delivery Graham & Oli have both been amazing and the team at Morgan Marine. I feel they gave me a good deal and great service. Felt personal and not corporate. Buying a boat for the first time is a big step and i really appreciated having their advice, even to the point where I was suggesting buying more add ons but Oli telling me they were not needed. That type of approach builds trust and a long term relationship
