Customer Comments

In July this year my husband & I, with much sadness, took the decision to sell our much treasured sailing boat. We were initially going to put her on the market ourselves because we didn’t want to pay brokers fees but were unsure of current prices and the legal side of things. A friend recommend that we contact Sam at Boatshed. We never looked back, from the moment Sam walked on board I knew we had done the right thing. She was able to advise us on the current market prices & was very sensitive to the fact that we were very sad at having to sell our boat. Sam made a brilliant video and took lots of pictures, the good and the bad. She found us a buyer in about 2 weeks and arranged all the viewings, survey & test sail at times convenient to us & the prospective buyer. We also felt very protected as there was never any contact between us & the buyer without it going through Sam, also the brokers fees were not as much as we expected. I can only say that if you are wanting to sell your boat contact Sam, you won’t regret it.

"Hayling Island Boatshed made it very simple and easy to sell our boat. Incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic communication throughout. Dealt with all the many questions from buyers and handled all aspects of the sale. Many thanks for your all your hard work."

- Mr T Green | Boatshed Hayling Island

I have recently sold my boat through Boatshed and I was impressed with their user friendly set up and supportive help in promoting and finally achieving a sale. The local representative Tim Kingston was very helpful throughout, and together with the main office support and ability to promote the boat to a large number of prospective buyers I found the Boatshed process to be something I can highly recommend. " I am also impressed that Tim (Boatshed) has continued in touch regarding the progress with my latest boat.

Samantha Cassell was delightful to deal with. From the early email enquiries, to greeting me in person on the Quay, with a cheery smile, the whole process was quick, and smooth. I was impressed with her willingness to work for the best deal for both parties and her commitment to her work. At every stage she acted with the upmost professionalism, yet being totally accommodating to my needs and busy schedule. The end result is I now have a beautiful boat!

Cathy, once again thank you for your professionalism. From the moment we met in Vermenton to the close of sale today you have acted in a precise, thorough and friendly manner. Your skills in photographing, describing and presenting our yacht to the market via your excellent website were superb. You achieved the completed sale in a short time of just over 2 months which was much faster than we expected. Karen and I would recommend you to any prospective seller. Well done Cathy!

- Robert, September 2018 | Boatshed Brighton

I've recently bought a very small yacht through Boatshed Suffolk. I have had a great service from start to finish. Peter Thomas has lead my purchase. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty and has helped me with the sale but also with the logistics of transporting her for me and much much more. He has kept me informed throughout and sent me loads of extra photos and information.

- Victoria Richmond | Boatshed Suffolk

We thank you again for the professional handling of the sale. You were a reliable, dedicated and friendly companion for us. All the best and good luck for your future.
