Massive thanks to Rob and the team at JV Marine! They made me feel very welcome and got me under way in no time at all. Even when flat out, they still managed to give me a full handover and answer any questions I had. Thanks again guys! Love your work. Aaron.

I was looking to buy a second hand boat, saw a few on line that I liked. I rang the gentlemen Friday afternoon to enquire about said boats. I was told they were all in stock. Got there 9am Saturday morning after a 2 hour trip only to be told none of the boats I had enquired about were still up for sale. Turns out boat salesmen are just as shady as used car salesman. Thanks for wasting my time

Writing a review is easy to write when all goes well but how does a group respond when something goes wrong. I had my boat there to get fitted with a new
Trailer. I picked my boat up and noticed damage to my engine after returning home.They could have said it was already there, blamed the trailer place etc or said it must have occurred on the way home. Instead they got it fixed ( with a new part) and acted with true professionalism. A big thanks to the way it was dealt with. Many thanks to all involved
