Thames Valley boat sales companies announce an open week on the River Thames
21 April 2008
The leading boat sales companies along the River Thames have joined forces for the first time to hold an Open Week from 11 – 18 May, 2008. All along the river from Reading in the West, to Shepperton on the outskirts of London, anyone thinking of buying a boat can see hundreds of new and used boats from many of the world’s major manufacturers.
There will be up to 700 new and used boats to suit all budgets and all requirements from small cabin cruisers and sportsboats to luxury sea-going motoryachts; from narrowboats and dayboats to ribs and trailerboats.
The participating boat sales companies will be offering FREE INSURANCE* on any motorboat purchased during the open week and other special Spring Offers.
