Promarine meets its 1000th customer

Promarine Finance is delighted to announce that in December 2022 the team has made it possible for 1,000 customers to purchase a boat with the help of fast and flexible marine mortgages. In turn, Stuart Austin and the team wanted to celebrate the milestone achievement by celebrating the 1000th customer, Abigail.

Abigail, ready to leave her family home, had set her heart on living aboard a narrowboat, reminiscent of her time spent with her grandmother on her barge when she was a child. By the time she contacted Promarine Finance, she had already identified her ideal vessel, named ‘Sparklingbrook’, and the team was happy to provide her with the necessary financial support to realise her dream.

In April 2023, Asha from Promarine Finance paid Abigail a visit aboard her boat to bring her a number of celebratory gifts, including a branded Promarine sailing jacket, chocolate and champagne, and to discuss how much she had been enjoying her new life on the water. One major bonus for Abigail has been being able to admire the stars in the night sky from her mooring, which are much brighter than at her family’s home.

Stuart Austin, the Director of Promarine Finance, remarked, “We are delighted to have assisted over a thousand people in acquiring a boat and starting their unique adventures on the water. Over the past decade, we have offered our marine mortgages to all kinds of boat buyers – first-time owners, individuals seeking a permanent residence wanting to liveaboard, experienced boaters , and many more. It’s always wonderful to be a part of someone’s boat-buying journey, and we take great pleasure in seeing our satisfied customers take delight in their newly-purchased vessel.”
