Customer Comments

To Ken, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your assistance with the sale. You provided a really excellent service.

- Deborah - October 2016 | Boatshed Cork

I have been delighted with the service received from Boatshed North Wales in the sale of my yacht. I have previously used 2 other well-known brokers; not only did they not achieve a sale, but there was minimal evidence of any proactive work to do this and their liaison with me during the process was poor. With Chris Tindall, Boatshed met all my expectations – and more: • Immediate response to my enquiry • Sound advice re price and marketing • Prompt and comprehensive sales details and photos • Almost instant introduction of genuine, potential purchasers • Effective sale negotiation • Good tracking of the deal, assistance with survey, etc • Sound administration of the sale process • Speedy and clear completion I would not hesitate to use Boatshed again and would highly recommend them to others needing support with the sale of their boat.

It was quite a change for us, going from sailing yacht to motor cruiser after many years of sailing. Samantha representing Boatshed.com was helpful all the way, from introducing us to the vendors, arranging and keeping appointments on time, keeping in the background for viewing (when necessary), through to dealing with the necessary documents for completion of purchase.

- We are delighted with our new (to us) Hardy motor boat. | Boatshed Portsmouth

Thank you again for the very efficient way you have handled the sale. It has been a long haul but also a pleasure to deal with you and the money has already reached our bank.

- With kind regards and best wishes for the future, Michael and Mary | Boatshed Portsmouth

I would like to thank you and Boatshed for the support in purchasing Zeta. The entire process was very straightforward and efficient. You have shown me several boats and supported me in finding a suitable boat for myself and my family. Your knowledge of the boats, the south coast and sailing in general made it much easier. I really like your website - it is very easy to find what you need/ are looking for. Thank you again and I would not hesitate to recommend Boatshed to another person.

This is the first yacht we have purchase but the staff at Boatshed Portsmouth made the process straight forward and painless. From the initial viewing through to final exchange they support us with time, patience and advice. An example of their support; the surveyor we had decided to use was out of the country when the boat was available to be lifted, Boatshed took charge of the logistics and managed to find another solution. Even after the final exchange they have been very supportive and willing to share local knowledge. An excellent service, would use again!

- Robin | Boatshed Portsmouth

Having spent months looking at various vessels and having lifted and rejecting 2, listed with other brokers, we came across a boat listed with Boatshed Portsmouth. Sam Cassell was excellent, despite the fact that we drove the buying process fairly quickly. She answered our questions very promptly, even replying to calls, texts and emails in the evenings and at weekends. She negotiated a fair price which was both acceptable to us and the seller. The whole deal was brokered within a week The details and photographs listed on the Boatshed website were both detailed and accurate. After purchase Sam was instrumental in helping us find various trades to upgrade the boat. We would have no hesitation in recommending Boatshed Portsmouth to both buyers and sellers alike.

- Hi Gary, all received many thanks for all your hard work Chris | Boatshed Norfolk

A friendly and efficient service - many thanks

- all the best, Tim | Boatshed Portsmouth

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have met Samantha Cassell in our search for a Princess 415 as we live in New Zealand and had to rely on her help and advice from the other side of the world. Samantha has been just great to work with. We found her to be very professional and knowledgeable, and she went out of her way to help us in every way she could in locating a motor yacht that met our requirements. She could not have been more helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any intending purchaser and/or owner looking for a very competent broker and would be delighted to provide a verbal reference to anyone requiring a testimonial on her proficiency.

- Clyde, NZ | Boatshed Portsmouth

The Portsmouth branch of Boatshed was chosen by me to sell my Moody 346. I received personal attention from the beginning from Samantha Cassell who remained my contact throughout. Appointments for photographs, listing and viewings were kept to the minute. The on-line listing was comprehensive and accurate and I was allowed pre-publication viewing to provide any minor corrections. Negotiation with potential purchasers was carried out by Samantha, keeping me informed during the process Detailed negotiation with the actual buyer and all arrangements for the handover of paperwork and equipment was most effectively and timely completed. I am completely satisfied by the way in which Boatshed carried out the listing and sale of my boat and have no hesitation in recommending this brokerage and thank, in particular, the efficient and effective personal service provided by Samantha.

“I am very happy with the service provided by Boatshed Portsmouth during the sale of my yacht. Right from the start I found their broker, Samantha Cassell, to be professional,realistic and active on my behalf. A large number of photos and even a video tour of the boat at deck level, and inside the cabin, were quickly produced and posted on their website and I found encouragement from logging on to their website and seeing how many viewings their had been of my boat details. Once a potential buyer appeared Samantha kept me fully informed of progress and acted with vigour on my behalf. “

I have a busy schedule and wanted somebody to deal with the sale of my boat and have as little hassle as possible with paperwork or time consuming negotiations. Boatshed Portsmouth did the job.

- Cheers, Barry | Boatshed Portsmouth

We can highly recommend Boatshed Gosport to anyone who wishes to sell or buy a boat. The srevice is excellent, informative and everything is explained clearly at all stages. Being kept up to date and aware of proceedings and paperwork is very important and the monthly report of viewings and interest was always a welcome sight. The number of photographs taken and placed on their site gave potential interested people an excellent idea of our vessel before any viewing took place and we are sure this helped enormously to ensure only really serious people arrived to view our vessel. The assistance during the preparation, presentation, notification of possible clients and subsequent sale was efficient and professionally handled. Thank you Boatshed for a well planned and executed service.

- Yours sincerely, Tony and Audrey | Boatshed Portsmouth

We were most impressed by the service rendered by Boatshed. Our Motor Cruiser received wide publicity and throughout the sale process, we were kept fully informed. In particular, the Boatshed website was most useful. The Boatshed Rep. was cheerful, cooperative and attended all viewings.

I placed my 28ft Gib'Sea with Samantha Cassell to sell on my behalf and was delighted with the fast response, attention to detail and very swift sale of the boat. Having spotted a few points on the boat that needed attention, the first viewing was within days of the notice appearing on the web site, an offer was made and accepted by us a week later, and the survey and completion within another week. They say it pays to use experts, and I can certainly confirm that in the service and results delivered by Sam and the Boatshed team

- Nick | Boatshed Portsmouth

Hi Sam I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help in finding my yacht, Cloud Nine. The Boatshed website has a great selection of boat, with lots of photos, which really helped me decide what type of yachts to look for. It is also really straight forward to use. I found your advice really helpful and appriciate all the time you spent sorting everything out so that I was able to take ownership at very short notice. I was grateful for your subsequent visit, with your friend, to assist with the issues I had with the battery charger. Great service all round, thanks!

- Wendy | Boatshed Portsmouth

I purchased my 35 foot Jeanneau Sun Odyssey through Boatshed Portsmouth having only 18 months of previous boat ownership. The approach was totally helpful and I felt that I was buying rather than being sold to. Myself and my wife were showed 5 boats within our price range and Sam Cassell the Boatshed salesperson could not have been more helpful or informative. I still had my old boat to sell which within 2 months of listing her with Sam she was SOLD, yay! I would not hesitate to use Boatshed for my next purchase and they made the entire process both transparent and enjoyable.
