Testimonials for Sirius Marine Services

Our 50’ Narrowboat, Progress, was built by Sirius in 2005, having spent months with series of drawings hanging on the wall at home, changing as the layout design was refined, it was amazing to see it build up from the base plate, to walk round the shell marking up the position of portholes, hatches and windows.

Progress, was launched on the River Severn at the end of Sirius’s yard at the end of November, we waved to the team who had built our boat as we made off up river to Stourport and never spoke to them again. I feel a little guilty at not getting in touch before now but the fact is that there has been no need, no problems, no niggles just good boating!

One tip I would pass on to anyone planning a narrowboat would be to peg your design out full size with string and tent pegs, that way you can walk round the design full size – our lawn was not big enough so we did it in the local park and provided entertainment to the footballers and dog walkers!

Just a quick note to thank you and the lifting crew for helping move ”Charlotte” back to Stourport. I was very relieved when she was back in the water and your coffee was a welcome boost!! We spent the weekend catching up with old fellow boaters and cleaning Charlotte inside & out with a good winter polish due. No doubt we will bump into when you are at the club in your other job.
Again, many thanks for all your help & keeping us calm!! Very best wishes.
