Refused to return all or part of Deposit
Paid a 20 deposit 680 for a Highfield CL310 in Hypalon on 25 August 2020 but the boat was not ready for delivery until 27 July 2021 apparently due to COVID related issues By July our circumstances had changed we did not want delivery of the boat were forced to cancel our order forfeit the deposit as SAL alleged they had lost money due to collection costs from Exter other shipping import costs and would have to store the boat for a considerable time as there was little demand for this hypalon version Phoned 3 business days later to say we could now take delivery only to be told the boat had been sold to a 3rd party so we could no longer have the boat nor get any form of refund from our deposit SAL refused to disclose any of the alleged costs they claim exceeeded the amount of the deposit and were very unhelpful in handling the matter given we had already waited 11 months for fulfillment of the order I would not trust them with an order again

Damaged boat while in their care
Our one year old boat was damaged in their care while having an incredibly expensive service 500 for a service on a 30hp engine that has barely any hours on it and we have come out with the foam floor wrecked by cats We were absolutely not told that cats would rip our boat to pieces in their yard because we obviously would never have gone there Apparently this is well known in the industry And for anyone else this happens to which it will because they ve told us this happens all the time do not let them make you think you ve left the boat at your own risk This is not a legally binding statement Of course the boat is their responsibility while they have it so do not let them make you think it s your fault

Quick response and very efficient
I was very grateful to get immediate response from SAL in order to check my engine at short notice as we were on holiday and wanted to know the engine would be ok to cross to Dartmouth I can highly recommend SAL for their attention to detail reassurance and extremely polite engineer Jake attended the boat and was able to check the engine with a diagnostic and recommended a solution to the problem he was very reassuring and wasted no time in correcting the problem he was very polite and even did a video of his work and recommendations for the future We are now on the way to the West Country with confidence and cannot thank SAL and Jake for all their support Many thanks Toby Sherwood

Suzuki 2 5 carburettor parts
From start to finish Josh from SAL Marine was very quick and efficient in answering my emails He even went the extra mile and took the trouble to send me a picture of the exact carburettor jet I was seeking for reference As soon as I verified this was the one I required it was in the post and I received it two days later I couldn t ask for a better service
