Customer Comments
This was a private sale with Boatshed being introduced to help formalise the completion late into the cycle. The owner and the buyer were both new to selling and buying boats - and I do not believe we would have reached an agreement without Boatshed’s involvement. On a second hand boat there is none of the certainty related to a new boat purchase. The survey can and did throw a spanner in the works. There are so many aspects to the sale ranging from financial to technical and emotional it is a real skill to bring both parties together and complete. Whilst the broker represented the seller I also felt that my point of view was properly represented and we ended-up with a fair result all round.

Absolutely seamless and pain free experience buying this boat. Thanks very much Sam, it is clear that you have done this before. I would highly recommend.

Having decided to sell my boat I instructed Boatshed to sell the boat for me and was contacted by Sam. Initially I thought it quite expensive but did not have the time to sell the boat myself. The selling of the boat was far from straightforward and a few problems were encountered along the way. Sam dealt with these problems for me and if she could not then she would point me in the right direction. Sam kept me up to date and was brilliant during the whole process. Having looked back, the fee charged by boasted was well worth the money as had I had to sort out the problems myself I would probably still own the boat and would be pulling what little hair I have left out. Cannot recommend Sam enough.

Billy, thank you very much. We have been immensely impressed by the service you have provided and I would whole-heartedly recommend you to any other potential seller or purchaser. I hope not to be in the market for selling in the near future but if we ever are, I will certainly be looking you up.

“A helpful, friendly and knowledgeable team at Boatshed Portsmouth. Despite all the challenges of COVID, lockdown and Christmas! Sam and her team were able to help arrange a smooth, safe and extremely speedy process. From first viewing to handover in under 4 weeks! Quite remarkable when having to contend with Christmas, New Year and Lockdown too ! “

Btw the videos and pics are great on the website, so easy to check everything about the yacht before purchasing it.

Samantha from Boatshed Portsmouth led me through all the processes to sell my boat quickly, was extremely helpful and worked really hard during a difficult time to achieve a good price

We bought our boat through Boatshed Portsmouth and were very happy with the service we received so when we decided to sell the boat, we had no hesitation in using them again. Samantha talked us through both processes every step of the way and always responded quickly to any questions we had. She was always contactable, open, honest and a pleasure to deal with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Boatshed and would certainly use them again. Thanks for all your help and we wish you a happy New Year.

I have just bought my yacht through Boatshed Portsmouth. Despite the ongoing restrictions of COVID, Sam made it an absolute pleasure to do business keeping me updated and informed throughout the process by phone and email. No question was too difficult and she dealt with all aspects from the owner, marina and surveyor through to arranging lift out for inspection. Given difficulty travelling and distance this made sure the whole experience went seamlessly. Definitely 5 stars! I would strongly recommend the excellent service.

Cheerful, positive, helpful, knowledgeable and pragmatic - what more could someone want from a yacht broker. Thanks for your help!

I also want to give a massive thank you to Mike, he has been a wealth of information and such a big help for a first time buyer.

What an amazing yacht brokerage - Tim and his team gave a fantastic service to me as a seller and also to the purchaser. When I sold my previous boat some years ago (with another broker) they were just not interested and it took months and a massive price drop to sell. Tim has put heart and soul into marketing our yacht and achieved close to the asking price, all the while supporting the purchaser. My advice to anyone selling a boat to do so via Tim (and Dan!) on Boatshed- their efficient service is like a breath of fresh air in the industry. I should also recommend them to purchasers- when we bought this yacht 8 years ago, all brokers we visited were dreadful- “here is the yacht for sale, take it or leave it”. Tim and his team gave110% to the prospective purchasers to ensure they knew all about the boat, resulting in a happy seller and a happy purchaser. I should add that their fees are extremely reasonable for the time and effort they put into the sale - thanks Tim.
