Thanks for pointing that out. The boat mover has his own insurance, so i think were good to go.

Thanks everyone foe your comments and suggestions. Whilst we have all been musing about who is best, and why on earth a new boater would not want to move a boat themselves my husband has found a husband and wife team who will move our boat for £120 a day, and have agreed to do long days so that we can meet them at the marina on a Sunday (got to keep to weekends because of work). I'm not sure what you all think , but I'm very happy with this and looking forward to settling into boating life when we retire later this year.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and new to narrowboating! We've just bought a boat which is moored on a canal so keen to move it into a marina asap for safety reasons. Because of work commitments neither my husband or I are free to make the 4 /5 day cruise to our marina of choice. We are on the Grand Union near Watford and need to get to Northampton. Can anyone recommend a professional boat mover that would have all the relevant insurance to do this. Thanks in advance. Liz
