Great Bunch of guys, Got my boat lifted into the water today and they made it very stress free and put me at ease. Anyone needing a boat lifting in or out of the canal I would highly recommend them. 👌 Just give them a call and I'm sure they will be able to help you.
This is a fantastic firm! I had a problem with my bow thruster while trying to Moor at Apperley Bridge towpath opposite the new flats. Steve at appley Bridge Marina recommended I got myself down to Gallows Bridge Boatyard to get craned out of the water, as they have a telly loader that can lift 40 tons, I arrived unannounced and withont an appointment but they managed to fit me in within a week so while I was out the water I got them to do 3 coats of blacking and manufacture an additional battery box for my bow thruster, modify the hinges to the bow locker. All done at the drop of a hat very helpful very friendly family-run firm I can't recommend them highly enough. So may I wish you and all of them all the very best with the future. PS very reasonable rates! Kind Regards Reg Skinner (Tin Slug)
An amazing experience and very cheap Really helpful staff giving us advice and helping us out any way they could We paid £350 for a lift In and out, 7 days in drydock where we where able to stay on our boat while it was out of water, we did the work ourselves but asked for advice which the staff where happy to give Polite funny and friendly, Highly recommended 26ft sailing yaught 2.6 draft
