' Absolutely first class service from Sam Cassell and the team at Boatshed in helping us secure an MG335. The whole process has been executed promptly and I would have no hesitation in recommending Boatshed.

- Thank you.' Bruce Vigar | Boatshed Port Solent

Sam provided great help during the sale of our vessel. Initially guiding us through the Boatshed system and making sure we had a sensible listing and then coordinating various enquiries leading to a successful sale. Sam was patient with us during the whole process and provided us with support (some of which was appropriately robust to ensure correct procedures were followed) during the final sale to reach a satisfactory handover.

- Thank you Gary and thank you for all the help in selling my boats by you and Geoff and Boatshed Kind regards Garry | Boatshed Norfolk

Dear Samantha, Thank you for the good news about completion, and a big thank you for making the whole process of selling my beloved boat so painless. Above all you have been swiftly efficient; I know we got lucky but even so the marketing to find a buyer in Cornwall that quickly was impressive. A big thank you

- Mike, Hornet Sailing Club | Boatshed Portsmouth

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!

Thank you for your assistance. I really appreciate your efforts in selling Azora (part of the family), you did brilliantly! I hope that over the next 6 months you will find me another boat!

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.

Billy, I have much enjoyed our various discussions and I am very impressed with the way you and Jo operate your business. All good fortune to you both and if I hear of anyone looking for a Plymouth based agent you will certainly be recommended.

- Peter, Nicholson 32 Vendor (Oct 2020) | Boatshed Plymouth

All arrived safely. Great boat & great service from you and Boatshed.

- Sid, Beneteau Antares 760 Buyer (Oct 2020) | Boatshed Plymouth

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.

- Graham | Boatshed Port Solent

Many thanks to Boatshed.com and Samantha Cassell for making my first boat purchase such a pleasure. Great website with many boats to see... I highly recommend using this service!

- Thanks again, Stuart. | Boatshed Port Solent

I had given up trying to sell my boat privately due to the Covid19 pandemic situation. I gave Boatshed a try as there is no commitment and they sold it in 4 weeks. Excellent service from Billy and Jo, thoroughly recommended.

- Tony, Trapper 300 Vendor (August 2020) | Boatshed Plymouth

Corinne at Boatshed Isle of Wight has been absolutely professional and flexible in the help and assistance in the process of a potential purchase of a vessel . Unfortunately the boat was not for us but Corinne was an absolute star in dealing with us. Going to keep looking with Boatshed.

- Keith and Suzanne Fisher - August 2020 | Boatshed IOW

Thank you so much for your hard and persistent work on the sale of my boat. I really appreciate your good communication and professionalism throughout this whole process. I engaged Boatshed Essex, aka Jayne and Chris, for the sale of my Prout Event Catamaran. Once they had agreed to act as the broker I was able to completely check out of the selling process. Even in the difficult times of Covid 19 they were determined in their efforts to arrange viewings and orchestrate the sale. Before my midlife crisis of quitting work and going off sailing took hold, I was employed as a middleman and I thought I could sell the boat myself. Despite trying this for six months, the sale didn’t come. Taking action and getting Jayne and Chris involved sealed the deal! So to anyone ‘considering’ employing Jayne and Chris as their boat broker, my advice is to stop considering and just do it! First class service from start to finish. Thank you.

- Mark, T (August, 2020) | Boatshed Essex

I would just like to say thank you for everything you have done you have far and above what is normally expected from a Broker and I appreciate it.
