About Milners Marine
Quality workmanship and straightforward communication sit at the core of how we work. We hold ourselves to high standards on every job, and that includes leaving the boat as clean and tidy as we found it.
Milners Marine is a fully mobile marine engineering service for boat owners across the London to Oxford waterways, run by Oli, a City & Guilds qualified marine engineer. Whether it’s a re-engine, a winter heater install or a stubborn intermittent fault, we do the job properly, explain it clearly, and stand behind the work.

I've used several marine engineers before, but none come close to Oli at Milner's Marine. There is a genuine passion for boats and making a proper job of whatever needs doing, plus the ability to think outside the box and find creative solutions.
The Challenge And The Fix
Engine trouble, a flat battery bank, a heater that won’t fire, a fault no one else has been able to track down. Boats throw up all sorts, and finding someone who’ll turn up, diagnose it properly, and get it sorted is half the job.
We come to your mooring, work through it methodically, and explain what we’ve found in plain English. Repairs, installs, servicing or a second opinion, we keep your boat running and ready for the next trip out.
