Professional Services on the Wapping Basin

Professional services for boat owners

Owning a narrowboat or wide-beam comes with its own set of professional needs. Marine insurance is essential and differs from home or car insurance in important ways. Look for a broker who specialises in inland waterways cover, as they'll understand the specific risks and requirements of canal boating.

If you're buying or selling a boat, specialist marine solicitors and brokers can help with the paperwork. Boat finance is available from several lenders who understand the market. And if you live aboard, there are tax, postal address, and council tax considerations that a professional advisor familiar with liveaboard boaters can help you navigate.
