Unsolicited Testimonial - Boatshed Essex When we decided to put our boat up for sale, a good friend of ours recommended Boatshed - based on his own past experiences. Due to our location, we approached Jayne and Chris at Boatshed Essex and received immediate response. Jayne came to the boat and carried out a lengthy viewing prior to creating a professional and in-depth marketing presentation. The market was tested and a realistic selling price agreed; well in line with our own expectations. The boat sold quickly and without fuss. Jayne and Chris dealt with all arrangements, including considerable assistance to the purchasers, and the sale completed without drama. The cash pay-out to us was made without delay. In consequence, we have absolutely no hesitation in expressing our own recommendations in support of Boatshed Essex. Note: We have no personal connection with Boatshed Essex and/or Chris and Jane other than as completely satisfied customers.

Thanks once again for the excellent service you provide. If I am ever in the market to buy or sell a boat you will be my first port of call and I will continue to recommend your company.

Thank you very much for all you help in selling [my boat]. If we are in a position in the future to purchase another boat then I will be in contact.

Very easy and enjoyable purchase. Boatshed Brighton had a great selection of yachts to chose from. I felt confident I was receiving the right advice when needed without being pressured in taking hasty decisions. I would definitely recommend.

“Samantha Cassell of Boatshed has worked tirelessly to sell my Moody 346. The boat was put on the market in May and was finally sold in February at a reduced price but what the market was prepared to pay. I would recommend Sam and Boatshed to any prospective seller”.

- Mike Finch, Portsmouth Offshore Group | Boatshed Portsmouth

Most people don’t sell a boat very often so don’t know the ropes. Most people aren’t dispassionate enough to price their boat to sell. Most people don’t live close to their mooring so showing people around the boat can be difficult. Most people don’t have marketing skills and an easily found, well thought out website. Most people, if they think it through, would use Boatshed to sell their boat. I did and it worked beautifully. Many thanks to Samantha and her team at Gosport. A job well done!

- M Childs, Portsmouth Offshore Group | Boatshed Portsmouth

Many thanks for everything. You've been fantastic.

- Scott, March 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

I am really pleased I chose Boatshed Portsmouth to sell my sailing yacht, Trouble Maker. Sam was very helpful and professional with frequent updates throughout the sale process. The sale went through within my preferred timescale and I would recommend them to anyone selling their boat.

- Ian, Royal Clarence Marina | Boatshed Portsmouth

If it does go ahead I want to say how grateful I am for your time meeting with me, I left with so much more knowledge not of just what to look for, but also what to expect life to become. Your attitude towards the boats was incredibly infectious and I left telling everyone that I have never met such a helpful and passionate person, I will be forever grateful for that. Thank you again Tim. You honestly helped so much it was unbelievable.

- Adam, February 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

Tim at Boatshed Brighton made the boat buying process easy, simple and enjoyable. He continues to be of help even after the deal was done. Tim remained transparent throughout the buying process. His advice and guidance was very helpful and his knowledge is endless. I would highly recommend Tim. You won't find a better broker on the south coast.

- Veronica, February 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

There is no better person to ask for advice on buying or selling a boat than Tim Kingston from Boatshed Brighton as Tim is not only ex RN but also a current member of the Brighton RNLI Lifeboat crew, so really knows what he is talking about & he is also a very nice man.

- Chris, February 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

I sold my boat through Boatshed in Brighton. I found Tim Kingston to be professional and knowledgeable. I also bought my boat through Boatshed in Plymouth and found the same experience as a buyer. Recommend.

- David, February 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

A successful sale in quite a short time. The whole web based system allows the vendor to if there is any interest. The best bit is at the end, clever software allows exchange of paperwork money and signatures without having to wait for the post. All done and dusted. Hooray.

- Chris W, Haslar Marina | Boatshed Portsmouth

Firstly can we say what a great in depth video you have done for this vessel.

- Lord xxxx, January 2020 | Boatshed Brighton

I absolutely love all your videos. (I even watch the ones on vessels that I will never be able to afford just because they are so good)

- Siobhan, December 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

Bought a boat recently via Boatshed ... great experience, end to end. Knowledgeable broker in their Suffolk area (where my boat was moored) and the admin from head office in Brighton was smooth and efficient. The business model seems to work well for them - light on overheads, with a focus on local knowledge. I'd buy or sell via Boatshed again; and happily recommend them to others. No link with the company, just a happy sailor.

- Roy, December 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

Thanks, Tim. A really positive experience.

- Roy, December 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

I love the format!...This is much better than pictures of an empty cabin. With you standing there it gives a much better idea of the space available. Well done.
