Customer Comments

Just a brief note to extend a big thank you for your assistance in my recent purchase of the Etap 30. Negotiations could have been a difficult due to the owner now living abroad but I was delighted with the way you were able to overcome the communication issues and effect a speedy and trouble free purchase on my behalf. I also appreciated your personable and professional manner and the help given by Jane in the office. If in the future I need a brokerage service I will certainly be knocking on the door of Boatshed Poole, once again my grateful thanks.

Thanks for all your help in the sale of our Hunter Ranger 265 – things seemed to start moving when you took over. I always felt I knew exactly what was happening from the way you provided updates etc and I really appreciated your advice on level of pricing to push forward the sales process which saw positive enquiries and viewings begin to happen. I felt a lot of confidence in the whole process because of the professional and knowledgeable manner in which you handled the sale.

Jeanneau Leader 705 Purchase As a relative newbie to boating, Ian at Boatshed Poole helped simplify every step of my purchase, helping to arrange basics such as a survey & sea trial, but also going the extra mile by filling with fuel for my trip home and arranging for a local fisherman to guide me out of a potentially hazardous marina on an early tide. Always quick to reply to calls & mails and having a 'can do' attitude, I would have no hesitation in recommending.

I have just purchased a superb fast fishing boat, a Seafox 256 using Boatshed Poole, the service of Jane and Ian was very good, not just arranging viewings but handling the organisation of a survey and all the financial transaction. The details of the boat advertised on line were very accurate and the photographs did not portray anything but the facts. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable from start to finish, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Boatshed Poole again. Alex, Chef and now catching my own fish

In October 2014 I contacted BoatShedPoole regarding a Cornish Crabber Yawl, they had for sale on their site. I rapidly arranged a viewing of the boat with Ian Welsh. He was very helpful and thoroughly professional. Regarding a couple of my questions he did not know the answers to he quickly found out the answers. Jane Wilkins has also been a point of email contact, she too has been very helpful throughout the process. Both Jane and Ian were easy to contact and responded very quickly. I seem to recall I made an offer on the same day as viewing the boat. From my point of view an excellent price was agreed with the vendor, negotiated by Ian, within a short space of time. The sale was subject to survey. All the arrangements for the surveyor were handled efficiently. Ian negotiated a reduction in the price to my satisfaction, based on the survey. He then was very helpful in advising and supporting me to arrange the stepping of the masts, securing her for transport to North Devon etc. I would thoroughly recommend BoatShedPoole to other people looking to buy a boat.

A very big thankyou to Paul of Boatshed for completing the task of selling my rather old Springer. Thoroughly professional approach, smoothing all the bumps alongthe way. I was in Cyprus throughout most of the sale process and was gratefulto Paul for the relatively worry free experience!

Paul A Thoroughly good service" I recently contacted Paul Watson of Boatshed Yorkshire about a Sealine flybridge that he had on brokerage. Paul was very knowledgeable about the particular boat, its specifications and condition, right from the off. He was punctual and in fact early for our meet at the boat, where he spent over half the day looking around the boat with me, making sure that all the bases were covered. On the day we were unable to run the engines sadly, so Paul agreed to make a further visit to the boat in order to video call me and show me the engines running, saving me a five hour drive up. Paul then organised the hoist to transport and made all the arrangement for the boat to leave the yard. I have to say that this has been the smoothest boat purchase that I have made to date, all thanks to Paul.

- thank you for a thoroughly good service! | Boatshed Yorkshire

Following the recent sale I found boatshed very professional well up on all needed information with very frequent updates and very quick to return calls etc Would not hesitate to use them again in the future

- S Dunn | Boatshed

This is the second boat that I have sold in conjunction with Boatshed Cost Brava. I was astonished at both the speed with which Paul & Steve sold my Targa 34 and the short leadtime arranged by Boatshed for both the survey and completion. No messing, no fuss, and the job done efficiently with complete attention to detail. Which is a credit considering that the seller, the buyer and the boat were all in separate countries. Well done Boatshed Costa Brava, and thank you for the extra effort put in to make sure that the final hand over process went smoothly.

- David Turner. Empuriabrava Spain. | Boatshed Costa Brava

We would also like to express our gratitude for all of your efforts and cooperation. Again, thanks for this.

- Jens Ebbinghaus | Boatshed

We can not say enough about the help you have given us with sorting out the boat and subsequent repairs and helping us to achieve a good deal on the purchase. A better and more helpful and professional job would be virtually impossible to find. Thanks

- Pat & Ian | Boatshed

Dear Steve, Many thanks for the excellent cooperation between you and my lawyer.

- Andreas Droege | Boatshed

Although I didn't bought anything from Boatshed, I thought you were a nice crowd to deal with, and your website is very good, so next time I am looking for a boat (probably in a couple of years time:), I'll certainly look you up! (Boatshed Yorkshire)

- Christophe | Boatshed Yorkshire

They say the best day is when you buy your boat and the day you sell your boat. I have used Boatshed for both and have to say that the team were amazing. I had what was not an easy deal and required some negotiation and care. This is why a good yacht broker is required and Noatshed North Wales went over and above the call of duty for me. Thanks again.

- Paul from Derbyshire | Boatshed North Wales

Just to thank yourself and Andy at Boatshed North Wales, for the fantastic service given whilst selling my boat a couple of weeks ago Andy was there every step of the way even to loading the boat on a trailer in a gale and pouring rain and making sure all the paperwork was in order I would certainly recommend you to other boat users who were looking to buy or sell a boat.

- Gordon Evans | Boatshed North Wales

Dear All at Boatshed North Wales I would like to thank you for selling my Van De Stadt Seacracker Pegasus of Mersey on my behalf The sale was completed professionally and stress free I would also like to thank Andy Wood for all his time and effort and patience.

- Graham Wright | Boatshed North Wales

May I take this opportunity to thank you and your team especially Andy Wood ( Boatshed North Wales) for a quick and smooth sale. When I first contacted you in late November less than 12 weeks ago I was resigned to any sale taking several months to complete Instead it s taken less than 3 months especially good considering Christmas and New Year and the foul weather we have had over this period. Well done to you all.
