Owners Of Sea Otter 56' Narrowboat Otter Magic

From the day we turned up at Adelphi Way, without any appointment, but with a detailed list of what we were looking for in our boat, we were made to feel part of the family. We now see all of you, perhaps especially Paul (our project manager, great to work with), Ray, Cindy, Baz, and Clyde as personal friends.

We were really fortunate to get what will be one of the final bespoke Sea Otter boats, and although we caused you a few challenges, I know that the team got a lot of satisfaction from solving these. They did it brilliantly, and I think we all fed off each other to produce on time what is, without doubt, the best narrowboat we have ever seen (and we have been to enough shows to say that with some confidence!!).

We have now made just over our first 100 hours cruising, and Otter Magic is now personalised.

We have though already had more than our share of fun, with lots of stories we can share with other boaters.

We knew we were getting quality, but I think what brings it home to us are the unprompted comments from owners of other boats along the lines of "Wow, here's a Sea Otter - I didn't know they built them that big - look at that paintwork - wish we had one of those" and similar.

I believe that Otter Magic is actually the most expensive narrow boat Sea Otter has built to date and you might ask has it been worth it? My answer is every penny!!!! Would we recommend Sea Otter to other buyers? Without doubt!!!!

Thanks again to all at Sea Otter, and be sure that we'll keep in touch!!
