Marine assistance.

[KINGFISHER 9]

Marine Assistance is the name of a company in France that appears to be the French equivalent of Seastart in the UK except they're cheaper!
Anyone use them? Anything to report?

Their website hasn't been updated for 3 years and info on the site is a bit sparse - I wonder if they're still operating and what the genuine level of service is?

 

[KINGFISHER 9]

So do I.

So do I.

I’m also interested. Is there anybody here with good enough French to phone them?

MarkC is right … there's no reference to anything on their website this side of about 2015. Shame.
Oh and by the way … since you were singing the praises of the Trawler 34 I've bought the one I was telling you about and anyway, you said it had the 'best engine in the world' so we shouldn't be needing ​Marine Assistance!

Congrats :encouragement:
I filled out the contact form on the website. I’ll let everyone know if they reply

I sent them a message on their contact page asking if they're still in business ... haven't had a reply yet!

Reply to my 'Are you still in business?' e-mail yesterday … 'Yes we are!'
I think I need to know a bit more about local assistance before sending off €129 … if it's all genuine that's a very good price. I'll use their message box again to find out more … their e-mail was a non-reply one.

Update: - No response when I asked for local info so I think we can assume they went tits-up at least 3 years ago and their 'Yes we're still in business' was a scam to get people to subscribe to absolutely nothing!
