About Ray Bowern

Experience built around boats.

For five decades, Ray has worked with boats on the water, in the boatyard and on the road.

A lifetime in the marine industry

Practical knowledge you can rely on.

Ray has been in the marine industry for 50 years and has owned a number of narrowboats during that time.

For 20 years, he owned and ran a successful boatyard in the Midlands. That hands-on experience brings an understanding of boats that goes well beyond simply arranging a lorry.

Ray has organised boat movements by water and road throughout the UK and Europe. He uses that experience to help customers choose suitable lifting locations, understand the practicalities and make each move as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Regards, Ray

Why experience matters

Every successful move starts before the boat leaves the water.

Dimensions, access, cranage, route restrictions and the destination all need to work together. Ray provides clear, practical advice from the first conversation and can coordinate the complete move.
