Customer Comments

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.

I would like to say the service that you provided was "fantastic" this was my first time buying a yacht so i did not understand the procedure and what was involved in the purchase of a yacht. Any questions i had you answered your knowledge of the boat market is "excellent". You helped me every step of the way and i ended up getting a excellent yacht for a very good price. Thank You so much Sam for all your help and i would recommend you to anyone who was thinking of buying a boat.

"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

My father and I were very impressed by your knowledge and understanding, and hopefully next year the right boat will come up and I can learn a new skill!

Hi David Just a quick mail to say thanks to you and your team at Boatshed for selling our boat. I must say I was very impressed with service including the backup from Boatshed head office which obviously helped the speedy efficient sale.

- Mr M Connor - Sept 17 | Boatshed Hayling Island

Dear David, I have found working with you and Boatshed Hayling Island a very pleasurable experience. Purchasing my recent yacht, not something I have done for many years was well managed and co-ordinated by yourself for which I am most grateful. You were kind enough to guide me through the processes and procedures and to assist in negotiating with the owner and boatyard those items on the yacht which required repair or replacement following a full yacht marine survey. Although it took a while for some of the work to be carried out due to schedules and availability of marine engineers and the like, I have peace of mind following the purchase that I hopefully have a sound yacht which will serve me for many years to come. Boatshed’s standard contract was helpful from a purchasers perspective in making clear each parties duties and responsibilities which must minimise the potential for disputes as long as a professional full yacht marine survey is carried out. Once again I would like to thank you for your help, support and guidance throughout this process and would not hesitate to use your services and Boatshed in the future.

- Mr P Dowsett | Boatshed Hayling Island

Many thanks for your help in selling Moo Moo. I had little interest in the boat before using Boatshed, but within only a short period, a successful offer was negotiated and the sale went through promptly. "I can happily say that all the team I dealt with at Boatshed Hayling Island were helpful and knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to turn to them again in the future should the need arise. Many thanks again"

- Mr T Crane | Boatshed Hayling Island

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank for making the purchase of the Sea Ray nice and straightforward and relatively painless (for me at any rate). Also, thank you for arranging completion on a Saturday evening, when I understand everyone has things other thank work that they'd rather be doing!

- Peter Apps | Boatshed Suffolk

David/Kevin, Just wanted to say thanks for your help yesterday strapping the boat down. Looking forward to getting her on the water. I will certainly be recommending your services to my mate who is looking for a RIB and lives in Bosham.

I would highly recommend David of Boatshed Hayling Island , he and the company were excellent in selling my Kruger Delta. My dealings with David, who worked locally, was exceptional.
