We have now run out of 2025 catalogues.  To guarantee a catalogue in 2026, please read on.

As previously communicated, we won’t automatically be sending out catalogues. Like many of you, we are keen to reduce our environmental impact by producing just enough catalogues and only posting catalogues out where necessary. We will produce the catalogue with a more robust front and back cover, and you’ll notice it won’t be dated; we hope that everyone will be able to make these catalogues last for a couple of years. That does mean that prices and some products may become out of date, but the tool will remain. And the latest prices, offers, and products are all available on our website whenever you’re ready.

If you would like to receive a catalogue in 2026 then please complete this short form.

Catalogue Survey Results and Feedback

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who responded to the short survey on the Force 4 Catalogue, the positive comments have been lovely to read, and its clear to see there is great affection in the boating community for our catalogue, stores and website. Thank you.

The Force 4 Catalogue has always had a special place in the retail mix of our company, internally we believe it adds value at many levels, from curating product ranges and special offers, assisting colleagues in stores, to enabling our customers with a tool to identify products they never knew they needed, or in fact owned! Our aim was always to try and replicate that tool on our website, possibly an impossible task as our website allows for so many more products (nearly 3 times as many as in the catalogue now) it can often feel overwhelming, and not so conducive to general browsing, something our catalogue and shops are far better at providing.

Following the survey feedback, we can see that the website can in areas fall short in that respect for some customers, namely the categorisation, filtering and search could all do with improvements. We have been planning on category, filtering, search improvements and loyalty rewards for some time now, but will push ahead with some subtle changes soon, and we have exciting developments ahead for the website. Very much watch this space.

As for the results of the survey….

Will there be a catalogue in 2026?

Very much so! However, as previously communicated, we won’t automatically be sending out catalogues. Like many of you, we are keen to reduce our environmental impact by producing just enough catalogues and only posting catalogues out where necessary. We will produce the catalogue with a more robust front and back cover, and you’ll notice it won’t be dated; we hope that everyone will be able to make these catalogues last for a couple of years. That does mean that prices and some products may become out of date, but the tool will remain. And the latest prices, offers, and products are all available on our website whenever you’re ready.

If you would like to receive a catalogue in 2026, please fill out the form, found here:

A limited number of catalogues will be available to collect for free in any of our stores, and you’ll be able to add one to your website basket as part of an order, or have it shipped to your invoice address, for the price of postage.

New in 2026!

A digital version of the catalogue will be available for the first time; it’s a great experience on a tablet, not bad on a large modern smartphone, and good on a desktop computer. It’s downloadable, shareable, and searchable, and always there; it will link through to the products on the website. And it’s free. You can even print your own copy if you choose to.

If you’ve made it this far, I hope it’s been of interest. We’re all very excited to get going on the new catalogue and the changes to the website. Thank you for your custom, and let’s hope there are still more opportunities for getting out on the water for the rest of the year.

Happy Boating,
Lawrence Parr
