Owners Of Sea Otter 26' Narrowboat
Ethel Louise

We saw our first Sea Otter at a small show in Bristol Docks and immediately fell in love with the concept of durability plus trailability. However, it took 3 more visits to various shows and lots of talking to people already lucky enough to own their own Sea Otters before we took the plunge and placed our order – a decision we have never regretted.

We were encouraged to visit the factory both to finalise the specification and later to choose colour schemes, upholstery etc. and we were particularly impressed we the efficiency with which our ideas were being translated into reality. Despite the fact that the construction of our boat coincided with the move to an impressive new factory there was very little slippage in time scales and our boat was delivered in what we had by now come to think of as the efficient Sea Otter manner.

Our boat was ready in the middle of winter and the river was in flood so our demonstration trip was sadly cancelled but very soon we were enjoying our boat and finding that she lived up to our expectations and more!

We have now bought our own trailer and have taken on the challenge of trailing the boat ourselves. We are exploiting to the full that concept we found so exciting when we saw our first Sea Otter all those years ago. Sea Otter have been very professional in dealing with the very few teething troubles we experienced in the early months and over 4 years of ownership I have always found them extremely helpful with regard to advice and supply of service parts.
