Promarine’s Boatlife 2024 Recap

A few weeks have passed since Promarine Finance attended Boatlife 2024, and here are our highlights of the event…

The team at Promarine saw visitors to the stand double when looking back at 2023 numbers – a great result! 

Unlike 2023, where most visitors were interested in canal boats, the entire weekend was bustling with interest across all types of vessels, buyers and boaters.

Events such as Boatlife give boat enthusiasts the chance to explore without the typical crowds you’d expect at Southampton International Boat Show and other, larger events in the boating event calendar.

We’re thrilled to announce successful deals for a Brig Eagle 8 with The Wolf Rock Boat Company and a Bayliner VR6 with Bates Wharf Marine Sales Ltd, both finalised during the event.

Beyond the sales aspect of the weekend, Boatlife provided some amazing networking opportunities, which our team took full advantage of, to help create and foster meaningful connections within the boating industry.

We enjoyed networking events with Pantaenius UK Ltd, Will Parkinson, Haven Knox-Johnston, and British Marine, and the Pelagic Stage saw packed audiences for renowned personalities like Cruising the Cut and Tom Cunliffe.

Promarine Finance and the team are pleased to announce that we’re already signed up to attend Boatlife 2025, and we can’t wait to see you there!

Visit Promarine at the Boatlife Exhibition @ Stand F158

Join us at the Boatlife Exhibition on 15-18th February 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham! You’ll find Promarine on Stand F158 where you can ask us any questions you might have about boat finance solutions and we can provide any advice and support you may need.

Promarine Finance is an independent company, lending its own funds to people like you to buy the boat you really want. We make the decisions within 24 hours of receiving your application. We enjoy what we do and will help you through the purchasing process and administration.

Like us, BoatLife believes everyone should have a chance to get out on the water. No matter your budget or level of experience. Whether you’re a life-long enthusiast, a hobbyist, a newcomer to the boating world, or a family seeking a memorable day out, this event is for you.

Attending the event, you’ll get the opportunity to see hundreds of boats, exhibitors, and meet industry experts like ourselves. You’ll find us in the list of many exhibitors, with friendly and approachable team members on hand to discuss how simple and straightforward we can make it be to buy your next boat with our help.

Promarine ‘A guide to buying a boat in the UK’ webinar

Join our director, Stuart Austin, on Thursday 8th February at 7:30pm, where he will sit on an expert panel that will discuss everything you need when in the process of buying a boat in the UK. 

When thinking about buying a boat and undertaking the preparation to enter a boat ownership lifestyle, there are several factors to consider. Promarine already leads the way when it comes to boat ownership advice and information, offering a comprehensive guide consisting of six chapters, to walk you through each stage of the process to make sure you have all areas covered.

As a team of boat lovers and seasoned members of the boating community, Promarine’s mission is to help as many people as possible buy the boat of their dreams with boat finance or a marine mortgage. Financing a boat is a big decision, so hearing our valuable insights is worthwhile.

The webinar focuses on those looking to purchase narrowboats, motorboats and sailing yachts valued up to £350,000, with insights on the process of buying, the role of the broker, how to find a reliable broker, the importance of the marine surveyor, how to interpret a survey and how to finance your boat.

At the end of the webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to ask the panel any questions you have, in a live Q&A session.

For those unable to attend the live webinar, a recording will be available for all registrants.

We hope that once the webinar is over, you’ll feel confident in taking the next steps in your boat-buying journey. You can reach out to us for further information, advice and support via our contact page or simply get in touch with us using the details available on our website.
