Mike & Alison n/b Alkemi

The best decision we ever made! Braidbar have enabled us to fulfil our dream. The whole journey from reserving a build slot to owning our own pride and joy was seamless, thoroughly professional, but much more besides, we really feel a valued part of the Braidbar family.

We were kept fully informed at all times and involved in all the decisions about Alkemi. We received invaluable advice, but our wishes were respected and acted upon. Nothing was too much trouble, we felt valued, never rushed, and supported throughout.

From choosing the length, type of shell and engine type, to the initial launch in the snow, designing the interior, shakedown cruise and finally taking possession we felt the most important part of the whole process, no question was left unanswered, everything was explained in detail and staff ensured we understood all.

It mattered greatly to us that we never felt Braidbar were clock watching, every matter we raised was responded to quickly and thoroughly, nothing was too much trouble, they went the extra mile and more to guarantee our satisfaction, even through the dreaded 2020 lockdown.

I cannot recommend Braidbar highly enough, we are delighted with our boat and have made good friends along the way. Braidbar have turned an empty metal shell into a sophisticated, mobile, well appointed, luxury country cottage with excellent canalside views and we love her.!
