Customer Comments

After having our boat on the market with another broker for almost 2 years, we discovered Boatshed. We were so glad we did - after moving to them our boat sold within 2 weeks. The presentation of our boat on their web site was exceptional. We cannot rate Boatshed highly enough, true experts in their field, energetic and highly professional, they always kept us fully informed and provided regular updates. We would recommend Tim and the crew to anyone.

I have no hesitation. In recommending Boatshed of Gosport run by Sam Cassell who acted in the purchase by me of a Westerly Griffon. Nothing was too much trouble and she was immediately active in sorting out the few issues that arose with the vessel. All in all a very professional company. New Westerly owner!

Sam was key to the successful sale of my Dehler 35. I was looking for a premium price for my highly-specified, well-maintained and lightly-used yacht. She made me renew some features, I wrote the web site details, she conducted some viewings, and I conducted others. I always felt it was likely to sell to an international buyer, and so it proved. One buyer committed to purchase subject to viewing, but subsequently was unable to come to the UK due to lockdown. Sam then introduced another foreign buyer, who offered an improved price. At the last minute, they also could not come to the UK due to COVID. But Sam set up a video viewing for me to ‘show’ the yacht to the buyers. They liked what they saw enough to complete the sale without actually seeing the yacht. Selling internationally is complex, but Sam really knew how to close and cement a deal that is comfortable and safe for both sides. She is committed, tenacious, good fun to work with, and highly recommended. Well done Sam!

Samantha at Boatshed Portsmouth made the selling of my boat simple. After filling in the details about the boat on a form, Boatshed did the rest, and within a matter of weeks the sale was agreed.

From the first contact with Boatshed, and in Particular, Tim, I was impressed with his professionalism, and speed of response. After having my boat listed for a number of years with several different brokers, Tim sold our vessel within 3 months. If you want results and to work with a professional, then get in touch with Tim.

This was a very old yacht but in excellent condition. Other brokers had ignored it. But these guys sold it in a matter of weeks at a good price and supported the purchaser - new to sailing- through the sale and beyond. First class service!

I would just like to say what a wonderful experience it was buying my yacht from Tim. He was very professional and caring. He kept in touch throughout the maiden voyage and as a rookie that meant allot. Pleased to say he is now a friend of mine.

Tim Kingston did a terrific job of selling my dear, departed, father's much loved boat. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he was a joy to work with from start to finish. I honestly can't praise him highly enough and if you are looking to buy or sell a boat, or even want to talk to someone incredibly knowledgeable if you're thinking of putting a toe in the boating water - Tim is your man!

- Kenton, September 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

These guys are the best in Sussex and I can't thank Mike enough for all his help, genuine experience and real honest advice, he was absolutely brilliant!! Thank you Boatshed Brighton ????????????

- Georgie, August 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

Tim from Boatshed was extremely helpful from start to finish. Making the process of buying a boat very easy even during lockdown. Would highly recommend Boatshed.

- Charlotte, September 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

My yacht was not the easiest prospect to sell as it is possibly the only one of its class in the country and not a "household name" . However thanks to the well presented details, the powerful reach of the website and the dedication and persistence of Samantha and colleagues, a buyer was found. I received sound and sensible advice from experienced brokers and was kept informed throughout of all developments very promptly. To summarise a very professional service.
