A choice of three great
Sailaway boats from the
one name you can rely on
Whilst we don’t build any boat ourselves you can rest assured that we have used all our many years experience and influence, working closely with our chosen manufacturer, to help develop a selection of Sailaway boats that offer the best possible start.
Deciding on a Sailway project is an exciting choice as you to get to build a boat that is purely engineered to your tastes and exact requirements. However even for the competent DIY’er it can be quite a challenge and a commitment. So we wanted to make sure we had a choice of boats that would complement your skill level exactly. But please don’t make a decision on anything before talking it through with us first. It could just save you a lot of unnecessary pain further on down the line.
Our PRICE PROMISE GUARANTEE is your reassurance that you cannot buy cheaper. Being an Approved Supplier means we sell at exactly the same price as the manufacturers so we cannot be beaten on price, even if you go direct!All our Sailaway canal boats share the same hull specification and as standard include a comprehensive list of integral parts. To help familiarise yourself with our hull specification and technical information we’ve created a quick reference table which details all parts and equipment which together form the basis of our hulls and the foundation for our fantastic sailaways.
If you are new to canal boats and would like to run through or further understand any of the integral parts or any on-board equipment please don’t hesitate to call one of dedicated members of our sales team who will be happy to help.

Sailaway Basic
Narrowbeam and widebeam
As the name implies even with our Sailaway Basic you’ll be able to sailaway as the propulsion system is fully installed. The hull comes with many integral parts as standard including mushroom vents, windows, doors, ballast, sub floors and a sealing coat of primer.
The Sailaway Basic Range of Narrowboats & Widebeams put you in full control of the 12v and 240v electrics, the plumbing / heating and lining/trimming. If you are considering this type of sailaway all we’ll be looking for from you is the location of the doors, mushroom vents and windows.
All our Sailaway canal boats go through to our dedicated designer who is always more than happy to cast an eye over your design concept before producing you a bespoke manufactured drawing set for approval pre-manufacture.
What’s included
- Ballast & Floorboards
- Battened throughout
- Windows
- Stern & bow doors
- 4x Mushroom vents
- Fully installed engine & gearbox
- Spray foam insulated
- Fully lined & trimmed
- Oak or ash veneer & hardwood trims

VAT FREE – Could you be eligible for a VAT exempt canal boat?
Widebeam vessels of a certain size may qualify for zero rate VAT. Qualifying a boat to be VAT exempt is a complicated process and you have to adhere to strict HM Customs & Excise rulings.
Incorrectly specifying a boat as VAT exempt can prove very costly further on down the line. With The New & Used Boat Co. you can have complete peace of mind as we’ve done all the hard work for you, in terms of research and hard work, to ensure you are protected. For example all our VAT exempt boats can be supplied with a Tonnage Certificate issued by an Approved Tonnage Surveyor which will legally prove that you have a qualifying boat. At The New & Used Boat Co. we turn VAT Free into Worry Free.

Making buying or selling
a new or used boat
an enjoyable experience
We’ve been part of the boating community for over 20 years and over that time we’ve learnt that it’s as much about people as it is about boats.
We believe that buying or selling a boat should be a pleasure and at The New & Used Boat Co that’s exactly what we aim to make it.
Our team of people simply live and breathe boats so right from the off you’ll be talking to a boating enthusiast not a sales person. And whether you’re a first timer or an old hand we have everything in place to make the whole process nothing short than enjoyable.
Convenient offices
at locations you’ll
want to visit
When buying either a sailaway or a new or used narrowbeam or widebeam boat nothing beats being able to see it or get on board and explore it.
At The New & Used Boat Co our 5 conveniently located offices – Hanbury Wharf at Droitwich, Mercia Marina at Derby, TBS Boats at Maidenhead (new boats only) plus Dunchurch Pools at Northants (brokerage only) and Droitwich Spa Marina at Droitwich (brokerage only) – have been strategically chosen to make it as easy as possible for you to be able to visit us where ever you live in the UK.
Each of our bases carry a good selection of new boat demonstrators plus a wide choice of used boats* and what’s more each base is situated within a desirable setting where there is more to enjoy like cafes, bars and shops to turn a rewarding visit to us, into a memorable day out.
*Please check with us that we have the boat you want to see before you set off.
Please note at our Dunchurchs Pool base we currently only stocks used boats.
A trusted aftersales
service for
after you’ve bought
The New and Used Boat Co. isn’t one of those companies that loves the customer while they’re buying, then leaves them high and dry once the sales agreement has been signed.
A great deal of thought and planning has been put into the after-sales service. We have our own team dedicated to purely aftersales. We can’t promise every little thing is going to be perfect when you take delivery of the boat – nobody can – but we can promise to put it right as fast as possible.
