Here at Boatshed Essex we are getting into the spirit of the festive season by offering you five things for free.

1) A free ebook

This is the gift that we actually give away all year round. Our free ebook Boating in Essex is available to download when you visit our Facebook page.

It contains a collection of articles describing places to go boating in Essex and how to find a marina in Essex. There are also tips on choosing a boat, financing and insuring your boat, and berthing a yacht. It’s perfect if you’re new to Essex, new to boating – or both!
