What out customers are saying

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone involved in the work on Khadine. It was a pleasure to deal with such a nice, friendly and professional group of people across all of the different departments. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Fox's or recommend you most highly.  

I have sailed on Tocatta for 50 years so I make sure all the work done on her is the very best standard. Fox’s has made a completely new rig, with stainless steel fittings. I am in awe! Beautifully made the old fashioned way (no CNC used), every fitting is lightweight and strong. A pure representation of Sparkman & Stephens Finisterre design – and finished perfectly. To say I am delighted is an understatement. I know of very few yards which are capable of such fine workmanship.

I have worked in the industry for 25 years and have spent time in shipyards all over the world and it’s rare to find such a friendly boatyard. I have been genuinely impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of all the staff at Fox’s

I want to say a big thank you to all the Fox's staff for the excellent service, advise and workmanship, your input has made what seemed to be a big job turn into an easily manageable job and I am forever grateful.

We would like to say thank you to the team at Fox's. You have come to be not only the people we turn to for work to be carried out, answering our questions from your vast wealth of experience, but also good friends. We can honestly say that without out everyone at Fox's. our retirement dream would not have been possible.

Thanks for everyone at Fox's efforts in getting Diva back in the water before 5th November. Please pass on my particular thanks to Lee and Jordan and their respective teams, for their flexibility, care and thoroughness in completing the task.

I’d like to thank the whole Fox’s team for the excellent workmanship carried out on Wishanger II. It was a real pleasure to work with you all once again and I am absolutely delighted. The black paint job has already received admiring comments and the Watt & Sea hauler, although still to be tested, has baffled everyone! The new twin anchor stem head is so unobtrusive it has not even been noticed!

The work was started on time and completed to what was a challenging target date. The quality of the workmanship is excellent and no less than I have come to expect from any work done in the Fox’s workshops.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help over the last few weeks in getting Havengore ready to return to London – I really could not have done it without the support of you and the team at Fox’s and I am very grateful.

I was already familiar with Fox’s, their excellent reputation and that they are a respected centre for Oyster maintenance… I didn’t expect that the work required would be cheap, but preferred the option of having a  professional team taking care of it…Considering the age of the vessel and the fact that she was in need of work on most of the major systems, the price of the project turned out not to be excessive.

The standard of the craftsmanship stripping back the gelcoat is as good as I could have wished for – a cracking job that exceeds my expectations. It reinforces that I made the right decision to have the work carried out by Fox’s.

I collected my motor boat Calypenta from Fox’s Marina today and, having used your services in the past, was not surprised to see what an excellent job had been done. But what was really nice, was the personal service I received from Ralph and Oliver who made sure the boat was washed off after launch, the engines and equipment worked and we were able to leave the marina in good order to catch the tide. At a time when personal service seems to be dying out, it is reassuring to know that Fox’s still provides it.

The team at Fox’s Marina & Boatyard has been incredible! Their professionalism, quality of workmanship and team spirit is second to none -5 stars all round!

Another great pit stop at Fox’s! Thanks to all the team for the efficient, friendly service in conducting my Beneteau 37’s bi-annual eight week pit stop. This being my second visit in two years, the distance from my home port in London is well worth the trip to take advantage of the TLC and excellent customer support. Nothing is ever too much trouble and for a yard with such a broad range of services, the fees are very competitive indeed.  We will be back!

Dear Will, I would like to say an enormous thank you to you and every one of your staff at Fox’s who has helped us with our refit. We did things differently this year with new people and it was a steep learning curve for those of us running the winter programme. The support and professionalism of all your staff was a big factor in our success.

After a 40,000 mile circumnavigation, there are very few boatyards that we can unreservedly recommend for international long-distance DIY cruisers… Fox’s Marina & Boatyard deserves to be among them. We appreciated the careful lift, good knowledge of local specialists, fair price, and a healthy dose of patience to let us chip away at a huge to do list at our own pace.

We cannot praise Fox’s enough for the very speedy way they took on the task and completed it within the week. The boat is now on her way from Dunkirk to Ostend with a young crew who are enjoying a holiday that started at Fox’s instead of Amsterdam, but are only too aware that were it not for the hard work of the staff at Fox’s they wouldn’t be having a holiday at all.

We wish to thank Fox’s Marina & Boatyard staff for the exceptional help you have given us while staying at Fox’s Marina. All the work has been done to a very high standard and your staff are all very professional, helpful and treated our yacht with care and respect. The friendliness offered to us while dealing with unexpected ill health will not be forgotten.

The boat was anchored in a pretty rolly spot, in the most remote island group on planet earth, Andy from Fox’s carried out the most professional job on Daliance and I am sure no better repair could have been done if the boat had been alongside in The Hamble!

We would like to mention the superb service we have received from Fox’s Marina. We have visited the boat on numerous occasions and we have had fantastic communication every week on the progress, including photographs of ongoing work and the timetable of scheduled works. Ralph Catchpole has been so helpful it’s untrue, giving us peace of mind and keeping us up to date with whatever we have asked of him. Jordan who carried out the work on our boat also deserves a massive pat on the back for the works done – again a superb effort. We would highly recommend Fox’s Marina.
