With a background in joinery working in the retail and pub trade, Dave Perry fitted out his first narrowboat in 2010 with the intention of living on it. Before he had finished, he was approached by someone wanting to buy it. 2 further boats were subsequently fitted out with the same result, leading Dave to decide that it was time to make a living out of this boat fitting.
Perrydale Narrowboat’s seek to give clients the ultimate choice in who builds their boat and how. As such client’s can choose their own shell builder and engine equipment but for those that don’t have a preference then Perrydale can offer a number of solutions tailored to a client’s usage and budget.
For client’s requiring greener solutions, then Perrydale Narrowboats have worked with leading suppliers to offer suitable solutions based on either a hybrid package or total electric.
The Perrydale team comprises of Dave, his wife Nikki and a close band of support crew that includes specialist support from an electrical installer, a marine gas engineer and bespoke wood turner to ensure the utmost professional finish.
The Recreational Craft Regulations for all Perrydale Narrowboats is compiled by an independent surveyor to give customer’s peace of mind that when the first Boat Safety Inspection comes up, there will be no issues between a builder’s interpretation of the rules and an examiner’s.
