Latest Covid -19 advice  for November 2020

Boats are still selling in the UK and on the Continent but there are special requirements for viewing as follows:

Vessels based in the UK:

It is still possible to view with care however I would ask anyone wishing to visit any vessel to postpone this until the present Government lockdown is over when they will issue new guidance to travellers and visitors

Vessels in mainland Europe:

France and Belgium are basically shut for any viewings but it is still possible  to go to visit vessels in the Netherlands. If you do wish to go to Holland there is restricted movement within the country at the present time and you will be liable to strict self isolation rules for 14 days on your return to the UK. The rules set by various Governments are changing often and rapidly therefore please check before you wish to view any vessel.

In the meantime THIS OFFICE IS STILL OPEN to help you with your inquiries and will arrange viewings for the future - please call on the mobile number and we can discuss your boating needs - 0044 (0)7757279336
