Firstly we suggest you spend some time viewing the different types of Narrow boats available. Once registered at the Marina you can look at as many Boats as you like, but only three at a time.

It is often said that the narrow boat will choose you rather than the other way, when you have found the boat of your dreams the staff at the marina can help you through the sales process.

The Marina recommends all second hand boats have a pre purchase survey, there are three main types which are detailed in the survey section.

Remember when making offers Subject to Survey the closer the offer is to the asking price the more likely the current owner is to help towards the cost of remedial worked picked up after the survey.

Once the boat is surveyed the Whilton Marina team will help you understand the contents of the survey and set about estimating the cost of post survey work. The Whilton team will then do any post survey negotiations with the owner.

Once a final price has been agreed the boat can be paid for and the post survey work completed on your behalf.
At his point the narrow boat belongs to you and the marina team will organize the work and obtain your bill of sale.
