Customer Comments

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.

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

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.

Dear Samantha, Boatshed Portsmouth. So "Jazz" has been sold and will be sailing the Seven Seas under a new captain. Just to say "Thank You" for the excellent service provided, by yourself, as regards selling "Jazz". I must say that the buyer having "Jazz" lifted and a survey completed before an offer made is very rare, but thank you for rising to the challenge. It is appreciated that you took the time and effort to contact the boat yard and sort out the little hitches along the way, especially when I reside in land locked Birmingham. And all with in two weeks, from survey, paperwork and hand over of "Jazz". Well done Samantha, and I hope to converse with you again, with the view of purchasing my next vessel.

I would just like to say thank you for your professional and kind service a credit to your company . Thank you

- Tom McCarron | Boatshed Lancashire

We both wanted to write to you to thank you for a superb level of service right from the start of our enquiry up to ensuring the yacht was safely loaded onto the transporter. You were timely in your replies to questions ( normally made outside working hours ) informative, positive and helpful at all times. You took much of the stress of buying a yacht and arranging lifting, transport etc away. It really has been a pleasure dealing with you and I will recommend yourself and Boatshed to anyone buying or selling a boat. Indeed we already have our old yacht on brokerage with Boatshed North Wales. Thanks once again Paul, if ever you find yourself in Holyhead feel free to call in for a pint.

Hello Ian & Jane, I would like to thank you for introducing a buyer and subsequently selling my boat recently. The sale went through without a hitch and I will certainly be recommending 'Boatshed Poole' to any of my friends contemplating selling their boat. Once again thanks very much.

- David Newman - July 2016 | Boatshed Poole

I bought my boat through Boatshed Poole in July 2016. I dealt with Andrea Drew throughout the process and her enthusiasm and help was much appreciated. Initially, I was outbid for the boat but fortunately for me, the higher bidder changed his mind and she immediately got back in touch, answered all my questions and provided the information I needed to go ahead with the purchase. Nothing was too much trouble. I felt I was dealing with a person, not just a company. Excellent personal service. Highly recommended.

- Just a quick word of thanks for all your help in the purchase of the Carver 325She arrived safely at Chichester Marina last Wednesday, and is now secure on her new berth. From first viewing to finalising delivery it has been a seemless and straightforward | Boatshed Norfolk

I was delighted with the professional service that I received from Boatshed Poole. Throughout the buying process their service was outstanding. Both the practical boat buying guidance and efficiency of the office were exceptional. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as an honest and professional broker to anyone.

Thank you Paul, we bought our yacht in March and it was an absolute pleasure working with Boatshed Yorkshire and Paul ... Listened to what we asked and exceeded every request ... Truly better than what it said on the Tin ... 8 weeks in 12 sails and 7 nights on board ... Sell or buy with confidence Paul really knows his stuff and is happy to share it with you ... See in a few years for the upgrade ...

Thanks for all your efforts to bring the sale to a happy conclusion. While you represent the vendor, I think we owe you a drink or two and will get in touch when we are in Phuket. Best regards,

- Ian - June 2016 | Boatshed Phuket

Just wanted to say a big thank you. Buying a boat can sometimes be as traumatic as owning one and I'd like to thank you for breaking the mould and making this one a real pleasure. I'm not sure you could have done any more and you certainly made the experience smooth and very painless. If I could ever afford another one I'd certainly be asking you to find it for me. Thanks again, it really was much appreciated.
