I bought a yacht from Boatshed in April and the whole process was managed really professionally by Samantha. I then asked Samantha to deal with selling my old yacht which she also dealt with professionally. I can't recommend both her and Boatshed highly enough. She was always available and kept me unto date. Superb!

We found Samantha and Steve extremely helpful, efficient and provided excellent service with selling our small open boat. Nothing was too much trouble and I would encourage everyone selling a boat to use Boatshed.com

Recently had the pleasure of dealing with Anthony at Lymington Boatshed during the sale of our motorboat. Their commercial partnerships ensured we were visible on all the right websites, so crucially in front of the right buyers and within a handful of days interested parties began viewings. They provided common sense advice around pricing and any 'minor snagging jobs' that helped present our boat professionally to potential buyers. Anthony was always on hand to discuss things and was proactive and a pleasure to deal with throughout. Even towards completion when we hit a few issues with the sale he went over and above his remit to ensure everything went smoothly. Through Boatshed's central office all the paperwork was efficiently processed - it was all seamless. I can't recommend Anthony at the Boatshed team highly enough.

Having now both bought and eventually sold my Sailing Yacht through Boatshed Gosport and then Brixham respectively, I have been highly impressed with their professionalism, helpfulness and friendly support throughout. Jason of Boatshed Brixham was very thorough with the details of the vessel’s listing, the photographs taken were exceptional and I’m sure helped to attract interest and sell her very quickly. Jason also provide helpful guidance through all the paperwork, completion of the sale and handover. Many thanks Jason; I have no hesitation in recommending Boatshed for both the purchase and sale of your vessel.

Hi Gary Thank you for the rapid refund which is most impressive. It’s good to know there are honourable brokers around. We are also most disappointed at what is estimated to be the value of our existing boat. If things change Boatshed will be the first place we will look. Thank you again. Kind regards Leo

Hi Gary, thanks very much. That all seemed surprisingly straightforward! I've discussed with Kathy that I'll arrange to meet her to collect keys and paperwork when I'm next down in a couple of weeks. I will be recommending your firm to anyone I speak to. Regards, Kate

I was recommended to Boatshed by a friend. In these strange times of Covid 19 I needed to place my boat on sale knowing I would be unable to be present due to travel restrictions (My home is in France). Therefore it was important to have full confidence in the agent. I arranged a meeting with Samantha at the boat when she explained terms and conditions and gave a global estimate as to market value and advertising. From there, Samantha created video and PowerPoint presentation and we met once more in the open at the boat yard to sign contracts. Boatshed has made monthly reports of viewing through social media and informed me of people who have made several viewings. The initial six months of contract was ending as was winter. I exchanged emails with Samantha and considered entering Boatshed Auction which in fact did not happen as Samantha informed me of an offer. This was followed through with a survey for the purchaser and an agreed price confirmed between the purchaser and me. Samantha has handled all at distance for me including the bill of sale, and eventual electronic payments direct to my bank account. I can now recommend Samantha and the Boatshed service. My only reservation was the fixed minimum commission which was explained from the outset. This would mean that owners of older and lower valued boats would not find Boatshed’s terms necessarily very attractive.

Anne and John Hello Gary, We were very happy with the way things went yesterday, as you could probably tell at the time; even the drive home was painless. Fleighty is exactly as you described her - which is just what we had hoped for. We can now look forward to the summer !!

The thanks are all mine, the boat would not have been sold without your attention and assistance throughout what has been very strange period of our history.

Just to say thanks for help getting the boat sorted. You were a pleasure and professional to deal with over the rest ! I may tidy up a sell and if I do I'll be back to see you !

I just want to thank you and Rory for all your hard work in getting x sold. Great service and information flow.

Sam has just facilitated the sale of my boat and from start to finish was superb service. I liked her honest approach and that she did the best for both parties to strike a fair deal. I would definitely use her again and would happily recommend her.

This was a private sale with Boatshed being introduced to help formalise the completion late into the cycle. The owner and the buyer were both new to selling and buying boats - and I do not believe we would have reached an agreement without Boatshed’s involvement. On a second hand boat there is none of the certainty related to a new boat purchase. The survey can and did throw a spanner in the works. There are so many aspects to the sale ranging from financial to technical and emotional it is a real skill to bring both parties together and complete. Whilst the broker represented the seller I also felt that my point of view was properly represented and we ended-up with a fair result all round.
