"Just wanted to say thank you for the efficient service you provided during the purchase of Egeria. Everything was dealt with in a professional helpful manner and made the whole process stress free. I would recommend Boatshed to any other would be boat buyers out there!"

- Mr D Young - December 2017 | Boatshed Hayling Island

Sam Cassell at Boatshed acted for us selling our Bavaria. We were immediately struck by her knowledge of the market and her in-depth technical understanding. She always offered sound advice and demonstrated shrewd judgement. We particularly appreciated her ability to explain the buyers perspective. She was unfailingly courteous and very prompt in dealing with all matters. Her handling of all the administrative details of the sale was faultless. We would unreservedly recommend Boatshed Portsmouth and Sam.

"Samantha Cassell at Boatshed Portsmouth sold our Westerly Oceanranger in 6 months during last summer, in a difficult market. She was very professional and knowledgeable and was pro-active in working to obtain a sale."

- Bruce | Boatshed Portsmouth

“We would like to thank Sam Cassell and her team for their excellent service selling our Sun Odyssey 32. We always found her efficient and timely in our dealings. Her description of the boat and comprehensive suite of photos ensured the boat was presented in the best possible manner. Her guidance on final improvements to the presentation was much appreciated as was her advice on price for achieving the rapid sale which we required. We valued notice of viewings and the subsequent feedback. We felt Sam has an excellent appreciation of the local market and the speed and dynamics of selling a boat. Well done indeed Boatshed Portsmouth for an excellent job."

- Thérèse and Tony Rice | Boatshed Portsmouth

I would like to thank Sam for all her assistance, knowledge and communication with the purchase my new boat. Sam has been at all times patient, as my purchase took a couple of months, and I have never felt pressured or under informed. Only this week on completion she met me on a cold winters night at around 9pm to hand over the keys you could not wish for more in a broker and she will be my first port of call should I think of selling to upsize.

- Stephen M, Woking | Boatshed Portsmouth

We would like to say how pleased we have been with the efficient service and positive approach that Samantha Cassell of Boatshed has given us. We were provided with good advice when the boat was first put on the market, very good photographs and details were taken and we have always been kept closely informed of prospective purchasers and their views. The sale went through very smoothly and the account settled quickly on completion. Samantha has always been very quick to reply both verbally and by text, which has helped us to keep good momentum in the sale process. I would certainly recommend Boatshed Portsmouth and will use them to purchase my next boat if something suitable becomes available.

Hi Kevin, Just to say I got out on the boat today and absolutely love it! Such a good little boat and very happy. Really glad I bought this from you and not the other one and it really does plane instantly. Thanks again to Boatshed Hayling Island. Andy

- Mr A Griffiths | Boatshed Hayling Island

Portsmouth Boatshed agreed to undertake to sale of our Bavaria 34 in May 17 and Sam Cassell came aboard to take the photos and gather details. She ensured that the photos showed our boat at its best and then discussed the process of the sale. She also instructed us on all the documents she would need to see. The boat went on the website and Sam showed our boat to potential buyers as we lived a long way from Portsmouth. She kept us up-to-date at all times and when she had a positive buyer as we were going on holiday, she prepared all the paperwork she would need to proceed with the sale. Whilst we were on holiday in July 17 she sold the yacht and checked we could deliver the boat when needed. We are very satisfied with how the sale progressed and are happy with Portsmouth Boatshed overall.

"Hi David Firstly thank you for finalising the sale of my boat. This is the first boat I have sold. You made the process far easier than I was expecting. I had been putting it off for some time but if I knew what I know now I wouldn't have. The boat sold far more quickly than I expected it to so thank you. It's clear you are very enthusiastic about your boats and boating which I am sure helps you do what you are doing. I would happily recommend yourself to anyone selling their boat"

- Mr C Sotheron | Boatshed Hayling Island

Hi Gary. Firstly many thanks for the Bill Of Sale re "Sea Melody" Which came last week hopefully all being well the boat is being moved tomorrow back to me here. And in the end I got Richardson's to anti foul and valet the inside and out for me while it was there waiting although I keep asking for the bill and no one seems to send it seems you are all so trusting still down in Norfolk! I also just wanted to thank you personally Gary for all you work and help for me in buying the boat. I'm sure it will bring me much fun I don't think I will be able to open it up on the river but the cockpit will be super to have the family down in the summer we all live in walking distance of the very beautiful and quiet summer mooring here, for the winter I'm going to keep it at a more secure mooring where it will come to tomorrow. So like I say many thanks for you patience and help re the buying.

- Many Sincere thanks for your help | Boatshed Norfolk
