Our Clients

At Freebody's our clients are as important to us as the craft we build and restore, many choose to moor and maintain their craft with us at Hurley, and often select a variety of boats from us over a lifetime of enjoying the pleasures of The Thames.

As a family owned and run business we like to make sure that the experience of boat ownership is as enjoyable as the pleasure of using the craft themselves.

Here are just a few comments from some of our lovely customers.

 

"I am writing to say how delighted I was with service provided by Peter Freebody & Co in the selling of my slipper launch "Portofino".

Their totally professional manner made the whole procedure very easy for me. They were very informative and the transaction went through very speedily, including the payment of funds to me.

Great people to do business with!"

"Melanie and Richard were so professional and helpful when I recently decided to sell my historic slipper launch.

They collected the boat from a marina in Worcestershire, taking great care to ensure it was hoisted correctly and fitted securely on the trailer for transport down to Hurley.

Their expertise was crucial in offering the slipper launch at a realistic price and achieving in a very short time a sale.

I was always kept fully informed of any interest and after the sale their payment to me was prompt. In my dealings with both Melanie and Richard they were always very cheerful and friendly and I would happily recommend them to anyone considering selling their boat, "

Thank you for so successfully handling the sale of 'Victoria'. I would also like to compliment you on your care and craftmanship in repairing the damage to her decking.

It has been a pleasure to deal with your most helpful family business over the last 35 years and I would be delighted to recommend you to any existing or potential claasic boat owner.

"In a moment of blind madness I bought an Andrews Day Launch at auction knowing nothing about boating.

Andy and the team restored her over a period of two years and it became one of life's great pleasures to drop by the yard each weekend to see the progress and to catch up with Peter, and just share a bit of his charming world for a while.

It goes without saying that the restoration work was immaculate and the attention to detail second to none. But now as the owner of a beautifully restored craft for several years there is nothing I enjoy more than slipping off to Hurley of an evening to take the boat out and have a quiet look round the workshop."
