East Midland Boating Services

History :

East Midland Boat Services was set up in 1972 as a mobile breakdown and fitting service for boats within the East Midlands area. At that time we became responsible for the callouts to the six hire fleets that were operating in the area. Weekend servicing and instruction to hirers on boat handling on all of the East Midlands waterways.

In 1975 we acquired the premises at Willow Moorings where our objective has always been to provide a pleasant rural mooring with the services and facilities - a service that was currently unavailable to the area.

At Willow Moorings over that last 35 years we have fitted out numerous craft, both narrow boats and GRP cruisers to owners individual requirements and specifications, with our patent slip way we can now carry out work on craft up to 45ft in length (out of the water) some work areas being under cover with work carried out on larger craft afloat.
