The Bates Wharf Way

Whether your first time or a repeat visit, we pride ourselves on a smiling reception with a relaxed atmosphere across our four locations – Poole, Southampton, Eastbourne and Chertsey near London – each with dedicated sales areas. We look forward to discussing your new or used boating requirements, or if you are wanting to sell your boat with us, let’s talk through our selling guide. We also consider part exchanges on selected boats to make your changeover easier.

Each boat conversation, whether new or used, we can help quantify the costs involved in relation to keeping your chosen boat on an annual basis with insurance, mooring, cleaning, servicing and maintenance. Click here if you own a star craft boat.
