Customer Comments

Mike and James were really helpful in providing a market valuation for our refurbished RIB. Absolutely essential for proper insurance value so an extremely useful service. Really quick turnaround and friendly professional attitude. Thanks guys!

- Gareth Evans | Boatshed Wales

Outstanding service from start to finish. Mike was very responsive, helpful and well informed throughout the purchase process. The boat arrived in perfect condition having been meticulously packed by Mike for a long journey, and with all paperwork carefully filed. Highly recommended!

Mike from Boatshed Wales could not have been more helpful and I will definitely be using his services again. I have bought and sold a few boats over the years and I have to say Mike has been the best person to deal with when it comes to buying and selling of boats. He has recently sold a boat for me. He had a look at the boat, he came up with a figure that he thought was achievable. One that I was very happy with, two days later an offer came in that I excepted and Mike took care of the rest. I have also bought a boat through Mike. Again he could not have been more helpful. There were a few niggles that needed fixing before the boat went back into the water, Mike took care of it all, organised the lift, checked the boat fully before handing it over. He could not have done any more or made the process any easier. When I buy and sell any boats in the future, he will be my first choice. Thank you Mike.

I dealt with James from Boatshed. He's helped me source my new yacht. What an extremely pleasant and helpful person. The whole process was run perfectly. In a few years when I upgrade again Boatshed Wales will be the first people I contact. I can't thank James enough. A very, very happy customer!

- Darren Bird | Boatshed Wales

From the get-go, both Mike and James have been superb. Their professionalism, knowledge and deep understanding of the complexities involved in purchasing and exporting a boat to Ireland have been first class. They diligently answered every question I had, making the daunting process of purchasing and exporting a boat much more manageable and less intimidating. The lads at Boatshed Wales went that extra mile in every respect. They were incredibly responsive, patient, and proactive. Their dedication to transparency was evident, and most noteworthy was their personal touch. I felt genuinely valued as a client. I would like to express my utmost gratitude to the boys for their exceptional service and for making the process of purchasing and exporting my new boat to Ireland so straightforward and enjoyable. It's rare to encounter such a dedicated and professional team. If you're considering purchasing and exporting a boat or yacht, I can wholeheartedly recommend Boatshed Wales — you won't be disappointed.

- Jamie Wood | Boatshed Wales

Thanks so much. It could not have gone smoother for us and whilst we had to accept less than we had hoped and we might have done better by hanging on but we are content with the outcome. Both Rachel and you were a pleasure to deal with and your professionalism shone through. We would certainly recommend you to others. With best wishes to you for continued success!

- Geoff and Jacqui. Sept 2023 | Boatshed Port Solent

From the initial contact with Boatshed Isle of Wight, we knew we were in competent hands. Response to questions and requirements were prompt and informed. What is more, once we agreed our purchase, they handled everything including finding and appointing a surveyor, organising lift out and providing relevant insurance advice; In fact, everything an out of area buyer could hope for in a broker. If and when needs be, we wouldn't hesitate using their fine professional services again. Thank you, we are delighted with our new "toy."

- Mark - August 2023 | Boatshed IOW

Cannot recommend highly enough. It has been a pleasure dealing with Corinne, and I really appreciate all the advice and help along the way! Everything went smoothly, with excellent communication & all processed nice and quickly. Thank you so much!

- Shane - September 2023 | Boatshed IOW

Effortless purchase. Corinne from Boatshed IOW has been great. Many thanks.

- Matthew - September 2023 | Boatshed IOW

From the day our Beneteau First 21.7S was put on the Boatshed website, to the day that the sale monies arrived in my bank account, totalled just 24 days! This was entirely due to the amazing dedication of Corinne, the local representative. She produced an excellent video tour + over 50 photos - all really professional. And we should not forget, this was all done whilst coping with a family bereavement, plus a funeral in the middle of the process. To say she went over and above what is usually expected, doesn't even get close. Thank you so much!

My boat was advertised through Boatshed Hamble in June 2023. Initial interest was shown but most prospective buyers had boats of their own for sale so nothing came of it. July and August are known as 'dead months' so it was not surprising that there was little interest. Once September came and the Southampton Boat Show was on then interest picked up and the sale went through in just over 2 weeks including the survey. This was well organised and I was kept informed as the sale progressed. Well done Nic from Boatshed Hamble.

- Colin Burgess, October 2023 | Boatshed Hamble

Great, friendly and prompt service from Mark from the start. We were kept up to date about progress on the sale of our boat at all times (even during Mark's honeymoon!). Everything was handled very smoothly and efficiently. We would recommend Boatshed Essex to anyone.

- Linda and Robin - September 2023 | Boatshed Essex

Jayne from Boatshed Essex was very professional and at the same time very friendly with the purchase of our Sadler 25 we recently purchased. Being a complete novice (at 61) it had always been a itch to learn to sail and no matter how simple my questions were Jayne always put me at ease answering which must have been the most basic questions with enthusiasm. I was always kept up to date with negotiating our purchase and letting me know of relevant documents that needed my attention. The whole experience was great and I'm sure within no time with retirement looming I will out grow my yacht and will be back for something newer and larger.

Paul from Boatshed Barcelona recently sold my Windy 8000. Safe pair of hands from start to finish and completed the sale to my satisfaction in a tricky market - would definitely use again and highly recommended.

- T Garnham - September 2023 | Boatshed Barcelona

Jayne and Chris were extremely helpful in taking delivery of my late husband's boat from France and organising her sale. Jayne communicated with me in a very professional and sympathetic manner throughout, for which I am extremely grateful. I would highly recommend Boatshed Essex.

- Owner - September 2023 | Boatshed Essex

Appreciated David’s professional manner complimented by his friendly and pleasant personality. The introduction, viewing and finally sale completed almost without a hitch.

- B L Old - September 2023 | Boatshed Cornwall

Purchased a Windy 8000 from Paul at Boatshed Barcelona. Very pleasant experience, highly recommend for any boat sales in the Barcelona area!

- Jack & Mike Whiteley - September 2023 | Boatshed Barcelona

A wholehearted thank you to Jayne at Boatshed for selling my boat. The service I received was both friendly and professional and a pleasure throughout.

- John C - September 2023 | Boatshed Essex

Je connais déjà quelques courtiers dans divers domaines. Mais ici, je dois mentionner l'aide exceptionnelle, la compétence et le soutien personnel qui dépassaient leur domaine de compétence. Nous nous sommes sentis à tout moment bien conseillés et entre de bonnes mains. Je tiens à remercier encore une fois Pascal Geatan pour son accompagnement et son soutien exemplaires et pour avoir finalement rendu l'achat possible.

- Stefan H 9/23 | Boatshed Paris

The experience was excellent from first contact through to completion. We would just like to say a big thank you to Graham for all his help and being so friendly and professional.
