Customer Comments

On contacting Samantha at Portsmouth Boatshed I was immediately impressed by her attitude and professionalism. This continued throughout the advertising and sale of my boat. She was completely honest and realistic about the price and condition and was thorough in producing videos and pictures for the advert. I was abroad for most of the process so she took care of visiting the boat with prospective buyers, arranging a scrub, the test sail and the lift out for the survey. This made my life a lot easier and simpler. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha to friends and club members.

"Thank you for bring this one to a successful sale and I hope that the buyer enjoys sailing her. In the meantime, I would also like to say how much easier it is to sell a boat through a broker such as yourselves as you have handled all the appropriate paperwork on my behalf! I would also like to thank you for the time spent in ensuring that the sale was kept on track and advising me at every step of the way. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future."

- Mrs J Davies | Boatshed Hayling Island

Thanks so much Graham. We are excited for our first day out and about. Thank you for all of your assistance yesterday! We would definitely recommend you as a broker

In July this year my husband & I, with much sadness, took the decision to sell our much treasured sailing boat. We were initially going to put her on the market ourselves because we didn’t want to pay brokers fees but were unsure of current prices and the legal side of things. A friend recommend that we contact Sam at Boatshed. We never looked back, from the moment Sam walked on board I knew we had done the right thing. She was able to advise us on the current market prices & was very sensitive to the fact that we were very sad at having to sell our boat. Sam made a brilliant video and took lots of pictures, the good and the bad. She found us a buyer in about 2 weeks and arranged all the viewings, survey & test sail at times convenient to us & the prospective buyer. We also felt very protected as there was never any contact between us & the buyer without it going through Sam, also the brokers fees were not as much as we expected. I can only say that if you are wanting to sell your boat contact Sam, you won’t regret it.

- Mr T Green | Boatshed Hayling Island

I have recently sold my boat through Boatshed and I was impressed with their user friendly set up and supportive help in promoting and finally achieving a sale. The local representative Tim Kingston was very helpful throughout, and together with the main office support and ability to promote the boat to a large number of prospective buyers I found the Boatshed process to be something I can highly recommend. " I am also impressed that Tim (Boatshed) has continued in touch regarding the progress with my latest boat.

Samantha Cassell was delightful to deal with. From the early email enquiries, to greeting me in person on the Quay, with a cheery smile, the whole process was quick, and smooth. I was impressed with her willingness to work for the best deal for both parties and her commitment to her work. At every stage she acted with the upmost professionalism, yet being totally accommodating to my needs and busy schedule. The end result is I now have a beautiful boat!
