Our Customers Say:

Thought I’d send you a note to say how pleased I am with the MF 1095 and all the systems that you’ve put in. The boat has done 20 hours and the engines will be serviced shortly. There have been no issues arising and all systems function properly.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time helping me with this. It is refreshing to work with you and your organisation and receive great customer service along with outstanding attention to detail. Normally I just get stock answers because I am asking technical questions which would involve doing some work.

Just to thank you all for a very efficient and professional service. Thank you for delivering our boat to the Norfolk Broads and sorting out our bow thruster.
