Customer Comments

We have recently completed the successful purchase of a Yacht through Boatshed.Com. The service we received from Sam Cassell was second to non! Responsive, prompt and efficient- Many thanks

- Ian, Dec 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha managed to sell my Sea Ray 215 Express Cruiser where the market conditions aren’t great for selling boats at the moment. The whole process was seamless and communication throughout was great. I would definitely recommend using Boatshed Portsmouth to buy or sell your boat, I certainly intend to purchase another boat when I enter my retirement years and I will use Boatshed. Thank you Samantha for all your support, was very much appreciated.

Absolutely over the moon with the purchase of my new Maxum 2700scr. It was a very pleasant experience from start to finish. Had to travel over 160 miles to get the right boat, and so glad I made the choice to use Boatshed Portsmouth. Samantha was very helpful along the way, with my many questions, providing answers and advice even out of office hours. Great service, great broker, great experience. Hope it to be buying a new boat anytime soon though.

I can recommend Sam Cassell and her work with Boatshed agency. She has worked quietly behind the scene and brought a purchaser to my yacht, steering the sale expertly. With her experience I can recommend her for any yacht sales.

With our recent purchase we're also very pleased how it all went thru, specially with the continuing support from Boatshed regarding insurance and the new registration formalities.

Jayne from Boatshed Essex was a very pleasant person. Talked me through every step, kept me up to date on everything and was a pleasure to deal with

- Owner (12/2025) | Boatshed Essex

Jayne is a phenomenon. She was friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the sale of my boat. She dealt with a multitude of small issues (and back and forth) between myself and the buyer to ensure everything went smoothly with the sale of my boat. Nothing was too much. I wouldn’t use anyone else to sell a boat again in the future. I would highly recommend Jayne to anyone looking to sell or buy a boat.

Apart from her extensive knowledge of the market, with many useful contacts, Sam has a really pleasant manner. I was kept well informed throughout, which made the sale of my boat very relaxed. She will be my first port of call when looking for a replacement. Thank you

Sam took also the hassle out of selling and was there with advice as needed.

- Tim, August 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

First time yacht buyer - Sam made the whole process easy to understand and to complete. Her communication was excellent - talking thru the process and was very helpful. The whole buying process felt seamless. Thank you!

- Simon, August 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Sam at Boatshed Portsmouth did a brilliant job in selling our boat. Selling a boat is not as simple as selling a car, & her expertise took us through every stage effortlessly, I could not recommend her totally customer centric support more.

- Tom, August 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

As a buyer I was attracted by the very good presentation of the Boat for sale with 40 plus very good photographs which allowed me to see what I wanted. A viewing was arranged quickly with the seller and the whole process to completion took less than a week (we were both local to the area) and I am now the happy owner of a very nicely presented vesse

- Dennis, August 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

I handed over ownership of my boat this week ,with the support of Samantha. The market was slow but her persistence and professionalism ensured a sale at a fair price. She liaised with the buyers during difficult circumstances , but the final sale went smoothly and successfully. Thank you Samantha.

- Roy, August 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha kept me informed every step of the way during the purchase of my yacht. She was very prompt in returning my calls and emails. She had a good understanding of the yacht she was selling. Highly recommended.

- Chris, August 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha assisted us through a very complicated sale process that took over 2 months to complete. Few of the other yacht brokers I encountered during the search for my new boat would have been able to complete this process and her reward for doing so is no doubt very much deserved.
