Purchase of first narrowboat
I've had the pleasure of dealing with Ian, Glyn and Darren from the New and Used Boat Company at Merica marina who've assisted me with the purchase of my first narrowboat. They all couldn't have been any more helpful if they tried - especially in such difficult times given the Covid 19 pandemic and the limitations and restrictions that they've had to work with.
They're all genuine and lovely guys, warm and welcoming, honest and upfront, and with real passion for what they do. They've been only too happy to help with all of my queries and concerns, no matter how big or small. Hats off to them all - Thank you so much for all of your hard work guys!

Used Narrowboat Purchase
I purchased a used Narrowboat from the Mercia Marina office in April 2019. The company has a decent website, that's how I found the boat. Their staff are friendly and helpful both on the phone and in person, which made the viewing pleasant ultimately leading to a sale. The reason I haven't given 5 stars, is due to the fact that they aren't very good at replying to emails, as well as forgetting a few things I had raised during the purchase process. I'm happily living aboard the boat full-time, thanks New and Used!
