Success Stories

What Local Boat Owners Say

Authentic feedback from narrowboat and leisure boat sellers across Leicestershire.

"I was dreading the logistics of moving my Tyler Wilson to a marina for sale. Fosse Marine came straight to my mooring at Barrow-upon-Soar. Within two days the listing was up, and they managed all viewings. Sold in under three weeks."

Geoff & Sarah Jennings

Former Owners, 'Alacrity'

"Their rapid valuation desk is the real deal. Within hours of filling in the form, a surveyor phoned me, met me at Foxton, and we had a cash buyer agreed within 10 days. Secure escrow handling was faultless."

David Thompson

Seller, 'The Silver Birch'

"A truly professional service from start to finish. They staged the narrowboat beautifully—the interior photos looked better than my house. Absolute first-class brokerage in Leicester."
