C2 Ribs

Reviewed By NewForestLife - Fordingbridge, United Kingdom

Recently a group of friends all enjoyed a fantastic day out with C2 Ribs skippered by the wonderful Ian! A truly wonderful day. Why would I recommend C2 Ribs? Ian (the owner) is a great bloke - he manages to combine many aspects of going out on the water into one package, safety and thrilling views and experiences are all efficiently delivered.You can trust and admire his professionalism as soon as you meet him. Throughout the day humour was on tap but always well managed by Ian. We did our safety drill, discovered which bits fitted into the safety gear and which needed a (slightly?) bigger size - all done very seriously by Ian but always with a chance for an off the cuff laugh when needed. Ian managed to combine perfect efficient professionalism with a wonderful chummy, chatty humour - even when we got soaked by a bit of choppy spray. We were lucky on our trip to go very close to the Needles and the lighthouse and then the icing on the cake - a manoeuvre was going on where a man was lowered onto the lighthouse in front of our eyes - how great was that? I can't recommend C2 Ribs enough and I had an absolutely brilliant day out with Ian and his wonderful rib.

Marine Matters

Since 2001 Marine Matters has been excelling at everything we do which is why we've gone from strength to strength. Since 2019 we became one of the UK's leading supplier of GRAND Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBS). GRAND RIBs are one of the fastest growing brands in this space and offer some outstanding boat options. RYA Courses are another speciality and we provide a wide range of these from our Hampshire offices on the River Hamble in Warsash, Southampton. If you are looking for Berthing then Stone Pier Marina on the River Hamble is a great option - get in touch for more details. As a Suzuki Outboard Authorised Main Dealer we offer a wide range of supply, servicing and parts from our workshop, in Warsash, Southampton.

Reviewed By 91778 - Portsmouth, United Kingdom

Last year we bought a Grand D 600 RIB from Marine Matters. At the time we (co-owners) were told by Henry (‘H’) that this was just the beginning of a worthwhile relationship with the boatyard. The promise of excellent after sales service and invitations to join various boating social events were sure to follow he said. Well, while our new boat met our expectations it did develop a couple of minor faults which we pointed out to H at the end of the season. I received an email reply back the same day with the assurance that both were covered under warranty along with an arrangement to pick the boat up from our dry stack, transport back to Marine Matters boatyard, perform the repairs and return. We were kept fully informed by Rich, the workshop manager, at all stages. Today, we inspected the repairs and couldn’t have been more pleased. So, our experience thus far is that H and his team back up their pre sales promises when it comes to after sales services. Thanks guys!

Marwell Activity Centre

Reviewed By colinb94

Stayed in the Marwell lodges recently. I can thoroughly recommend them. Well appointed ledges with dishwasher and washing machine, also a Bluetooth speaker. Didn’t have a feel of a caravan with a wooden wrap, a real home from home. We also had a hot tub that was checked daily. Activities on site were limited partly due to COVID and being at the back end of the school holidays so the kids only did the aerial adventure which they enjoyed. If more activities were available we would have liked to do them. Special shout out to the site owner who gave me a hand when we had a flat tyre. Enjoyed the local area, went to the new forest and Gunwharf quay, also went to the local zoo. Would definitely go to the lodges again.

Bolton's Bench

Reviewed By Y2610UOians

Lots of free parking - easy access out on to the Forest or back into Lyndhurst with all its cafes, pubs and shops. Good location to cycle from. Be aware the Forest animals arent pets - they live wild and, for your own safety, you need to give them space, keep your dogs on a lead whenever near them.
