I got new Duoprops off them which they claimed were new genuine Volvo as they were out of stock of new aftermarket ones, they were old ones which had been reconditioned never mind new Genuine! Snooty know it all female on the phone claimed all new Volvo props had the paint flaking off and had grinding marks around the tips!
Got my money back in the end but no apology and I had to pay the return postage!

well, the director / owner is a Nic Hart, and from the company website you would expect him to have recently taken over at Coastal Leisure.
"Coastal Leisure Ltd is a company that was founded in 1996 and is now managed and owned by Nic Hart. Nic has experience of managing companies at a senior level and intends to create an organisation that has the customer at the centre."
However, he has been with CL Ltd for nearly 8 years, so he has time to imprint his vision of customer service on the organisation.
The said NH was with MKI Ltd as Managing Director for six years, where they had "offices in 22 countries and 900 people employed and the turnover was $500,000" (Shurely shome mistake ? Ed)
In addition to CL Ltd, he seems to be involved with PXBoats:-
http://www.pxboats.com/
another site which gives a good impression of being a global player in the maritime leisure market.
I am sure that if you emailed him directly with your concerns, he - as an international businessman dedicated to service "once out the other side [of making a purchase ?]with your prefect [sic] boat we offer you further services from servicing to cleaning and general maintenance." - would give you his undivided personal attention.
Coastal Leisure Ltd has total exemption status at Companies House, which means that it qualifies as a 'small' company with a limited turnover and balance sheet.
Oh yes, BTW, NH is a Formula One afficionado.

i used to know the old company and bought my princess 470 from Tony Verol who was very good and easy to deal with but that was about 8 years ago.

I bought my previous boat from Tony Verol in 2000/1 - seemed a very genuine chap. He sold the company soon after and was planning on moving back to Turkey I think.

Ah, yes I remember now... should have said 'moving to somewhere hot'. I think he used to charter Gullets in Turkey at some point, or I'm just befuddled

Shurely some mistake ?
Dear SaraBande,
Fair comment about the website commentary it is now updated to the present tense.
Not sure where the rest of the quote came from? but mainly correct: the turnover of MKI which was fully audited was I think £300m which could have been around $500,000 depending on exchange rate.
Shurely is spelt surely.
