We got our Seaswift 500 at the end of October 2009 and managed our maiden voyage between Christmas and New Year, well worth the wait, we had a great time at Appledore, our boat was admired by many people.

First class boat and first class service, thanks very much Dave, two very happy customers!

I bought a seaswift 500 this year with a 50hp 4 stroke and what a cracking fishing boat it is. there is loads of room its sturdy and more important you feel safe in it unlike my last boat. The 50hp sends it along over 30mph which also makes it a great family fun boat and will hopefully get some knee boards / ski's next summer for the kids. all in all this is a super versatile boat which will give us great pleasure for years to come.

I would just like to thank Dave swift for being very help full and a pleasure to do business with and wish him all the the best for the future.

We have owned a sea swift 435 for just over a year now and have found it to be a very practical craft. As a Sea Scout group we use it primarily as a safety boat normally at a distance from the youngsters on the water, however on a recent Duke of Edinburgh expedition we needed to get much closer than normal safety duties in the past.

An expedition was to take place with 6 youngsters rowing up the Tamar over a weekend, unfortunately shortly after launching and mid river under the Tamar Bridge, water appeared above the deck boards in the rowing gig!!
The youngsters headed for the shore as we shadowed in Sea Swift. On beaching and bailing out the gig we had to tow them across the river to recover the boat, all in all Sea Swift proved itself a very capable craft by virtue of being low enough to easily reach across to the rowing boat ,yet powerfull enough to tow across tide and flow with ease.

When push came to shove' Sea Swift 'cut the mustard'

It turned out the rowing boat had been damaged on the trailer with a 1 inch hole below the waterline- another gig was substituted and the expedition was completed over the weekend.

It is reassuring to know that your rescue craft are capable of performing when required, and Sea Swift performed with ease.

The Magic Roxy, took to the rivers of the Norfolk Broads today and as expected she handled perfectly, we even had bright sunshine. The only disappointment was that the champagne was flat
 
The Suzuki ran like a dream.

On a more serious  note ,I cannot find the words to express our gratitude and also to praise you for the professional manner and attention to detail that you lavished on us.

And also to thank you for your patience with the older generation, I am sure my shipmate and myself will enjoy her, we hope for some years to come. We will certainly be promoting Sea Swift Boats up here.

Once Again David Many Many Thanks

Seaswift 435 - EXCELLENT!  My wife wasn't too keen on having a boat but I managed to convince her that the Seaswift was good value and we would have much enjoyment with pleasure days out and fishing trips.  She's not been disappointed the only trouble is I can't get my hands on the wheel! She's skipper and I'm the crew!I think I'll get myself a Seaswift 500.

Seriously a great buy which we are both fully enjoying, the price was right and Dave's help and advice superb nothing too much trouble and he delivered to Pembrokeshire.  All we are left to do is enjoy the UK's most beautiful coastal national park walk from the sea and catch fish.

Thanks Dave and for your wife's wonderful coffee.

I have recently purchased the Sea Swift 500 for fishing around the south coast. I looked at a few other brands out there and found the Sea Swift 500 to be not only the superior boat but also the best value for money.

The boat feels stable when fishing and has plenty of deck space to move around and with the suzuki 40hp four stroke that I choose to be fitted, it goes very well through the water. The 500 is easy to manoeuvre and with docking arms fitted to the trailer, launching and recovering is also an easy task.

I bought this boat for not only fishing but for family fun as well and have found that even when the weather is not at its best this isn't a problem with the substantial cuddy which provides plenty of protection from the elements.

Dealing with Dave Swift was easy going and trouble free, he made sure the boat was fitted to my spec and on the day of pick up we were not disappointed with the turn out.

Thanks again Dave for all the help in choosing the right boat, we are all very happy with our Sea Swift.

All the best

The Greene family.

We needed some spares from Dave and got a very quick reaction from him; the bits were in the post the same day. Excellent service.

Then I saw SeaSwift. Called Dave, and so the story goes on… Custom built with the additions I wanted.

I met Dave for our maiden voyage. He showed me how to launch etc. and took the helm to show me the ropes as it were. Oh and if she looks little on land take no notice, she feels and performs much bigger on water. She is a wonderful little craft, very stable and easy to handle in and out of the water. And Dave is always on hand to help me out if needed. A genuine nice guy.

When you buy a Sea Swift Boat, you don’t just get a great little boat - you get a friend thrown in as well.

Thanks Dave!

Comment: I have always wanted a boat. Just somewhere that I can go and get away from the stress of life. No phones, just peace and tranquillity. So when I saw the advert for the Sea Swift, much to my wife's opposition to the idea, we went to see Dave. Now just like a wife who fears being a golfing widow, a husband who wants to fulfil his boyhood dreams of owning a boat, I was always going to have a struggle.

I saw the advert in the paper for the Sea Swift and suggested, tentatively, to my wife Maxine that we should at least have a look at one, even if it was just a morning excursion for the kids! So we put Dave's address on the sat nav (because we are new to the area) and off we went. My wife was growing more and more irritated. I gently persuaded her by grabbing her earlobe to at least have a look at the stock available. She was not in the mood to buy a toy that she would probably never use. Dave took us round all the different boats that he had with all different options.

My wife's normally staunch face seemed to soften slightly, just the same way as if she had seen a dress in M&S and gave me the nod to buy the boat, even though she did not want it. I was happy, even though she was not...... so I had Dave call it MAD MAX.

Since then I have been able to speak to Dave virtually every day. After sales service is so important to him. He has offered to tow the boat to Torquay, come out for a couple of times to make sure that I know what I am doing, teach me how the ship to shore radio works, how to maintain the engine etc.

If you are ever going to buy a boat and want someone to help you in the early days (I don't need you anymore Dave, sorry) then call Dave, realise your dream and have fun. I've caught no fish yet, but getting away from it all is the whole point.

Thanks Dave and we will go out for some serious fishing in June.

What a fantastic boat the Sea-Swift 435 is! I have been out in my new boat twice and find that it offers everything you could wish for. Its ideal for fishing, day trips and if you want some fun the speed is there!

Excellent value for money! From first seeing the boat and ordering it Dave was informative and very helpful. There was good communication and Dave was quick to answer any query I had. I am looking forward to many hours at sea around Poole harbour and surrounding coastal area.

We live in Cornwall and wanted a boat for offshore fishing. The 435 suited our needs exactly, easy towing, launching and retrieval. We bought the boat late summer of 2008. Managed to get out several times in the autumn when the weather permitted and had some glorious days, on one occasion feeding the whole village with mackerel. The boat was stable and easy to handle, a joy. We found Dave to be most informative and helpful. Now looking foward to 2009 lets hope for some decent weather.

I’ve been involved in the building of boats for a few years now and came down to devon with a friend to test the 435 as he wanted a boat for sport fishing and family day boat use. As he was a first time buyer he asked me to come down with him to see what i thought. We were not dissappointed, the 435 is a superb little boat offering a stable platform to fish from and a fast hull due to its gull wing design. It has a good sized cabin which gives great protection from the elements which is ideal for fishing.it was very easy to get on and off the trailer and the boat itself handled nicely. Overall it did all we wanted it to do very well and I gave it the thumbs up.

Cracking piece of kit!!
Have found the Sea Swift 435 to be an excellent all round vessel being easy to launch & recover, uncomplicated in its set up and useage, yet still have the feeling it can easily cope with more severe weather and sea conditions than thus far experienced with it.
In the Sea Swift we have discovered unsurpassed value for money and you can rest assured that Dave Swift is an uncomplicated, genuine guy to deal with.
Looking forward to many enjoyable hours in the coming boating season with the boat- shame the winters are so long.
