I needed greaser tubing and exhaust lagging for narrow boat Perseverance. Most other suppliers would either sell a 1 metre tube plus fittings then sell a longer length of tube separately, and 30 metre... See more

An essential for us boaters....
The Boatyard has everything you need for life afloat/leisure, well stocked with essentials and more and always a good supply of fuel for the winter.
Everyone there is friendly and helpful. My husband had health issues and they always went the extra mile to help when he needed a hand refueling the boat with diesel, water etc etc or carrying wood/coal. Highly recommend.

Good product but awful amount of plastic packaging
The product is great, and was shipped quickly. I was a bit appalled by the amount of plastic wrapping around the box though; simply closing the cardboard box with plastic-free tape would have done the job, there was no need to wrap in a few metres (no kidding) of black cling film that I don't think can even be recycled.

Good afternoon NIna
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry that you were not happy with the way the item was packaged to protect the contents.
Unfortunately because parcels are often left outside either in the delivery chain or at customers address we have found it necessary to wrap our parcels to protect the boxes and there contents from the elements. The shrink wrap we use is a recyclable brand.
Thank you for using our online store.

Always great service
Always great service from this chandlery; good stock of items and fairly priced. Although I've moved over 300 miles away, I'll still buy from them when needed.

Very happy with goods we ordered
Very happy with goods we ordered. Better than expected. Only problem was the Evri delivery. Very confusing, saying they'd delivered when they hadn't, sending reminders to pick up parcel when it wasn't there, but we got there in the end.

The staff are knowledgeable and happy to give advice on anything you need.
There’s a wide variety of products for every boating need, you can call in advance to make sure what you need is there and pay online and pickup later.
Diesel and other fuels are always a competitive price.

Super, shiny chimney.
Have just spent many hours repainting the roof of my widebeam and needed a new, stainless steel chimney to finish things off. Found the perfect plain stainless steel chimney plus raincoat on the site.
Looks and fits perfectly.
Swift, well packaged delivery and regular updates regarding dispatch and time frames.
