Hartley Boats Ltd

Was looking for a second hand Hartley 1.2 but by the time I got in touch it had been sold but they did invite me to go to the factory and have a look at some of the boats which I did and was impressed with the boats on display but was prepared to wait for a second hand boat.In the mean time Hartley arranged for me to try one at the Carsington club. On arrival it was blowing hard and raining however the staff were helpful and rigged up a Hartley for me. As a novice sailor I was a bit anxious but there was a safety rib on hand which was reassureing. I was on the water for about an hour and felt this boat would do for me. Within two weeks a boat had been found. It was nearly new and suited me. It was delivered to my club in Nottingham. The staff fully rigged it and dealt with all my questions. Within in half an hour of them departing I was on the water. As a novice sailor it was only with the main sail up but the boat sailed well. Only one problem with it was I felt the tiller was far too long. I made a phone call and the next day a smaller one was fitted! So far I am still sailing with only the main sail but as my confidence grows this will change to adding the jibb and spiniaker. This the only boat I have ever brought and throughout this process the staff have been friendly and very helpful also extremly knowledgeable. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. When I am ready to upgrade to another boat I will be giveng Hartleys a ring!!

Very helpful staff. Reasonable prices.

Great service from Hartley Boat Chandlery. I snapped the tiller extension on my Phantom so ordered a replacement C2 Nitestick. When this was not available because C2 were not making them Hartley swapped my order for an Allen alternative and were very helpful with my UJ concerns. They also understood the urgency so that I could go out sailing this weekend. Will definitely use them again.

Very helpful and kind crew

Very friendly and helped me out alot highly recommend to anyone

Excellent service - I was looking for a second hand Byte for my daughter and Hartley Boats tailored a boat and rig to suit her perfectly and a very reasonable price. The service on collection was excellent - lots of great advice and help with loading the boat for the journey home. The boat was perfectly rigged and ready to go.My daughter loves the boat and the set up Hartley Boats provided for us - could not recommend them enough.

Very good. Helpful and happy staff. Found all the bits I needed from the chandlery and workshop.

Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming staff who happily told us all about the boat and helped get it and its launching trolley on the car. Tomorrow the Hartley 10 goes on the water and my husband can't wait...
