Customer Comments

"Thank you for bring this one to a successful sale and I hope that the buyer enjoys sailing her. In the meantime, I would also like to say how much easier it is to sell a boat through a broker such as yourselves as you have handled all the appropriate paperwork on my behalf! I would also like to thank you for the time spent in ensuring that the sale was kept on track and advising me at every step of the way. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future."

- Mrs J Davies | Boatshed Hayling Island

Thanks so much Graham. We are excited for our first day out and about. Thank you for all of your assistance yesterday! We would definitely recommend you as a broker

- Tim & Lori (buyers) | Boatshed Bourgogne

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.

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!

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.

- Karin & Rudolf S. | Boatshed Bourgogne

"Thank you Boatshed Hayling Island for your assistance in selling Camrose. This was effectively a probate sale which created many challenges. Boatshed Hayling Island was very helpful in overcoming the difficulties encountered and even though the sale took longer than originally thought, persevered until the end"

- Mrs C Hall | Boatshed Hayling Island

"I am pleased to say we had a very good trip home on Reverie making good time arriving on our new mooring at 19.45 on Tuesday. I would like to thank you very much for helping to make the purchase of Reverie as smooth as it was. Your help liaising with the gentleman selling the boat and in putting us in touch with the right people to enable us to have the boat ready to sail home in such a short time was invaluable. Thank you too for the bottle of bubbles which you may not be surprised to hear was consumed en route home! Many thanks again for your help"

- Ms T Mawson | Boatshed Hayling Island

"A good, friendly service. Good pictures and good listing, plenty of coverage"

- Mr J Monk | Boatshed Hayling Island

"I bought my first boat with boatshed Hayling island. I can't thank Boatshed Hayling team enough for guiding me through the process and their patience. The team supported me until I was absolutely happy and were very efficient. Without doubt I would visit them again when buying my next boat"

- Mr S Dale - Molloy | Boatshed Hayling Island

" Thank you for your efforts in enabling us to buy Camrose. Your assistance was helpful in enabling us to overcome the sellers limitations and restrictions which were impeding progress, and in negotiating a final price once tests had been completed. Now we have corrected or made allowance for necessary works we look forward to many happy years sailing in her"

- Mr J Noble | Boatshed Hayling Island

Dear Mike I wanted to thank you for the excellent brokerage service you provided in selling my RIB. Not only did you do an excellent valet on the boat but you photographed it to a high standard and sold it within 7 days. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone trying to sell their boat.
