- In this video we are up in Preston to have a look around the Warrior showroom and boatbuilding facilities that they have on offer!
We are joined alongside John Locker from ‘The Fish Locker’ and Phil Byrom, the Director of Warrior boats.
As John owns a Warrior boat himself, it was great to see Phil show him around the facility and describe exactly how his boat would have been made, right down to the detail of the exact mould John’s boat was made in! To have the whole process of building a warrior boat from start to finish described and shown by Phil was great, and it was awesome to see them exhibiting their boats at Boatlife 2024.
On top of that, to see the newest warrior boats up close was amazing. The detail they put into each boat is amazing and that Warrior 175 XS really is special with that engine on the back! We can only imagine how good that is on the water…
Warrior boats are of course very well established in the small fishing boats industry and so it’s great to hear both John and Phil talking about what makes them such great fishing platforms. We’ve got no doubt we will see them throughout the Boatlife Fishing Championships!
With that in mind, the first Stage of the Boatlife Fishing Championships is literally next weekend! It’s shaping up to be an awesome event up in Conwy. Make sure to enter for the Privateer’s event on the Sunday and come along for the weekend as there will also be a free to attend Saturday night music and party. Including a local hog roast and Conwy Brewery offering great prices. As well as one of our favourites - the Shimano fishing simulator! So get yourself signed up and head over to Conwy for the 18/19th of May.
Do not forget - £2000 is up for grabs for the winner! Do not miss out on these events!
Here are the links to sign up. Stay up to date on our socials for more prizes and bonuses of the event…

The UK needs more content like this full stop
Appreciate that!🙌
Ive visited Warrior and was shown around by Phil, top man, no sales pressure but such a nice and knowledgeable man. Top boats too. Great vid.
Love that - glad you enjoyed the video!
This was a really interesting and exciting visit for me. We love our 170 but is it time for an upgrade?
Could well be, keep us updated John!🙌
A little mercury engine upgrade wouldn’t hurt would it ? 43 knots wow that’s quick !!
@@motorsnutts6594 Haha! We can only imagine what that looks like on the water…
That 175 Pro XS is seriously cool👀
It is isn’t it! Can’t wait to see one out on the water👊
Can't beat a factory tour! Very interesting.👍
Thanks Mike!
Great content! Phil is an absolute legend, his attention to detail and pursuit of constant improvement is second to none, backed up by his lovely wife Julie and the rest of the Warrior team they produce the best GRP boats in the UK bar none. My Pro Angler is featured in this video, she was in getting some upgrades fitted which I’m delighted with. From the moment you walk into Warrior HQ you’re made to feel extremely welcome and part of the family ❤
We couldn’t agree more! Thanks for the epic comment ❤
"FINALLY" A video tour of Warrior boats 😀😀, As a 165 owner myself Loved the video always wanted to go and have a look in the factory. I Like the 175 pro XS👍👍.
Actually contacted Warrior once or twice great customer service and Highly Recommend Pleasure to deal with
Love that! Definitely worth a look around the factory - a seriously cool experience. Thanks for watching 😅
What a day that was!! 👊
Wasn’t it!🙌
The best Uk manufacturer / or even more best in Europe/ a lot more than buying a boat. Very friendly, just like a familiy. Highest Standards, very high quality... good bless Warrior Boats
U Boys need to get back into Europe 🇪🇺 ASAP . Great vid ❤
Thanks!
Ran a warrior 175 for a few years good solid boat but by god the do like taking a wave over the bow green water running up the windows and down the neck 😂😂 few issues with fuel tank but nothing that could be sorted with a new tank fitted the free draining deck is a great feature good fishing space
Very interesting lads .. great content 👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video great to see how they are made
Really interesting factory tour, would love to have heard the answer as to why they stopped building the 150, it's so well suited to towing with a smaller vehicle & day fishing & far easier to store.
Makes sense! Glad you enjoyed
@@BoatLifeFishingChampionship Still trying to find someone willing to part with a 150 for less than they were new 😅
Awesome looking boats and factory needs a Australian flag somewhere HA HA . Happy boating from Australia Nick
Cheers Nick! Happy boating😅
Great interview John!
Sick boats 😊
They really are awesome aren’t they!
That wos fascinating, awesome, I'll see you when the lottery comes up
The Warrior is nice, but Fairline was there over 40 years ago, and some of the tech they used was unbelievable, yes I now own a Fairline Vixen built in 1978 I love it, the Vixen is a cruiser but still a not bad fishing platform.
Nice!
Nice video
Thanks!
Really interesting
🙌🙌
And I thought they were made in Poland! I agree high freeboard, and needs intermediate inside step to ensure easy access into my chums Warrior.
Did I see a Pirate 21 unfinished in Grey?
Whats your engineering back ground john? I had you down for ex military tbh. Dont tell me your a welder😂
I'm on my second boat from them and yes they are fantastic boats but their customer service is not very good.i've spoken to a other owners and they have said the same thing as myself, that when you contact them and speak to Phil it just feels like your being a hindrance and they can't be bothered.But as i said originally these are fantastic boats.
What did you need to contact them about after your purchase ?
@@thesolentwarrior584 i was away from the boat and needed a couple of measurements of the rail diameters and other things and advice on a couple of add ons.Its a shame that customers are made to feel like this because like i said they are great boats.
Iv heard fantastic feedback from a lot of people for aftercare and advice from Phil . Not everyone can be pleased I guess
@@thesolentwarrior584 very true
This is absolutely not my experience, customer service is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble.
I presume the proper boats are hidden for this vid LOL
Nice boats but can’t see 45k in them
Amazing video very interesting watch, regards Tel G
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed!
Over priced tat
Would you care to explain that any further Martin? Would you recommend something else?
@sovereign_skipper 100% agree with you . Its great to see this sort of stream . UK at its best . Great stream all . Many thanks all 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed! Plenty more to come🙌🙌
