Guide To Cowley Boatyard

Great place to rent a boat and take a walk along the river

Lovely place to go for a walk on the Grand Unon canal.

Lovely marina. Really helped us out by accommodating us last minute when my husband broke his wrist. Very clean with good facilities. Well led by Diana. Thank you team.

We used to moor at the Marina for two years. It was run by a very competent, friendly manager who was very accommodating in everything thing she did. She is a real asset to the Marina. Last year she left to go on maternity leave and the Marina was staffed by a new manager who was managing Limehouse Marina at the same time. We applied to return to the Marina and was given in writing a quote for a mooring and was shown available spaces. Two days later we rang to pay and was told the price given was incorrect, even though we had it in writing stating all quotes honoured for three months. It had increased by a whopping £2000!! I spoke to the new manager who said he wouldn’t honour the original quote and they were suddenly full with no spaces. Strange as we were shown three available spaces two days before and they had been shut in between due to it being a weekend. Not a great experience especially as we had been very loyal to Aquamarine and sold a boat through them as well as moored for two years. Guys don’t waste your money dealing with these cowboys. Hopefully the lovely competent manager might be back soon from maternity and install a sence of normality, honesty and great customer service back to the Marina.

Beautiful shimmering waters on a bkazing hot day. Nice area to be out and about and mingling with nature. It was very calming and peaceful by the canal and quite popular on a hot day.
