Top People, Top Place
We’ve had our boat at Swanley on and off since last summer after purchasing it from the excellent brokerage at the marina (thank you Malcolm and team). The marina is very quiet and tranquil and the facilities are maintained in a very good order. The marina is spacious and the accces to moorings is simple and easy to navigate. Prices are quite reasonable too. The fellow boaters are very friendly and there is a very good community spirit; we loved the new quiz nights, such a great idea. A big thank you to Juliette, Susanna and Barbara who were exceptionally helpful on many, many occasions. Well done Swanley, you know we’ll be back, we’re booked in again already! I highly recommend this marina. It is worth pointing out that the marina has diesel and pump out on the canal side for passing boats too.

We received a fantastic service from Harry at Swanley when we recently purchased our Narrowboat from them. Having been through this prosess before a few years back with our first boat I was shocked it could be so simple. Contact from the beginning was friendly and everyone there went out of their way to support us. Highly recommend! Thanks so much!
