An excellent boatyard

An excellent boatyard! The standard of service is exemplary, going above and beyond in their customer care. Their knowledge and skills are first rate and I would highly recommend them for hull surveys, welding and blacking. We felt that we got true value for money as their pricing was very competitive. We will certainly be using them again.

Stoke on Trent Boat Building Company

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stoke Boats, and after having a full cabin refit I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
The quality of my fit out is outstanding. For me, one of Stoke Boats stand out features is their ability to customise boats and meet individual requirements. Whether thats a specific layout or your own unique design. This level of customisation truly sets them apart from other boat builders.
10 out of ten, top marks for top boat builders.

Great boat yard ran by a fantastic team. We've had a number of jobs done now over a couple of visits, blackening, welds, engineering and surveys. They went above and beyond to fit us in despite been super busy, work done was brilliant, really expert team.

We had an electrical issue shortly after passing Stoke boats, After calling them, they referred us to Simon Hopwood, who came straight out and sorted out the issue very quickly, enabling us to carry on. Great service by both, many thanks.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine workmanship...

Fine workmanship. Will definitely recommend Stoke boats to everyone. We were in dire need of help and they went above and beyond. We were made very welcome and as live aboard this is priceless. Thanks to everyone who worked on our boat The Cockney Sparra 2. Sue and Dave Allen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We have just picked up our brand new boat from this wonderful company...

...this was a lucky find from our point of view, having been let down by another company. This was the first boat that they have built from scratch since the buyout. They have been totally amazing to work with; our boat is very bespoke...but they have been amazing. Always pleased to see us, involving us in every decision that needed to be made, and giving us a quality of workmanship that we've never seen on another boat. Thank you so much! Have a look at their website for more photos.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small, friendly boat yard...

Small, friendly boat yard. My first experience of canal boat life. We launched a 60footer there and had to move all personal bits and bobs aboard. Nothing was a hassle. Staff very accommodating. Great place to start our journey south and avoid lots of closures further north.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a big thankyou to all who've had a hand in making

To All at Stoke Boats... I'd just like to say a big thankyou to all who've had a hand in making

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stoke-on-Trent Boat Building Co at Longport Wharf have just blacked my Springer. They put it on a kind of trailer, black the exposed hull, then move it along a few feet to black the bits that were missed. I wanted the (narrow) baseplate blacked and they were fine to do that. They also blacked the weedhatch. I arrived Monday and back in the canal Thursday morning. It looks a good job. Sorry I didn't think to take a photo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They took us in at quite short notice, fixed a leaking water tank and left us with a better boat due to quality of joinery repairs afterwards.
