"My boating partner and I purchased a Trawler Yacht marketed through BoatShed and brokered by David of Boatshed Hayling Island. The transaction was expertly and sensitively handled by David from start to finish. Problems that arose were handled as challenges with equanimity and wisdom. In short, a most agreeable experience after which David richly deserves our unqualified endorsement.”

- Mr S Farrington | Boatshed Hayling Island

Dear Sam, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you and Lyse for another swift and hassle free sale. This is the second boat we have sold through Boatshed.com and eight years on from the last sale we made the right choice again to list and sell through you. You and your team are true professionals and make what can be a very complex and stressful process very straightforward. After now doing this twice I cannot imagine why anyone would buy and sell a boat without Boasted.com taking the helm.

- Best regards Steve and Chris | Boatshed Portsmouth

Very pleased with the help Sam gave me throughout the sale process of our Westerly Oceanquest. She was proactive in recommending suppliers to repair things to make the boat as presentable as possible, providing good recommendations at all times, and the whole administrative process was smooth throughout. I would thoroughly recommend Boatshed Portsmouth to any prospective seller.

- Thanks again! | Boatshed Portsmouth

Just a little thank you to say how pleased I am with my purchase of My Contessa 28, I was very impressed with your service from the start, escorting me down in the rain and strong winds to see it in the first instance and your help and support up to completion just a few days from Christmas Day. Your service was exceptional considering my purchase was for a minimal amount of money. I couldn’t have been more impressed if I was Buying a multi Million Pound super yacht. Boatshed should be very proud of you.

- Many thanks again and good luck for the future | Boatshed Portsmouth

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.
