Can't fault John Chambers of Boatshed Lincoln on the exceptional service he gave us, he has been very helpful both in obtaining information and providing assistance in getting our boat delivered safely to us.

Dear Sirs, We have just purchased our first narrowboat from Mr Phil Bassett (Grand Union) and felt we had to send you our feedback. From our initial inquiry Phil was courteous, informative and quick to respond to making our first viewing appointment. We had two viewings in total and I cannot praise Phil enough for his salesmanship. He took every question we had seriously, following up each inquiry quickly, sometimes having to liaise with the owner. He obviously has a good professional working relationship with the marina that the boat is moored at which made our purchase even easier with any further questions. We originally had a one twelfth share in a narrow boat for four years in total but always knew we would purchase our own, visiting a number of brokers within a radius of about 80 miles. Initial response from many was flimsy with hardly any followup and the quality of the boats at times was questionable for the price and we had doubts as to whether offers were in fact relayed to the owner! How refreshing to find Phil at Boatshed Grand Union who instilled confidence in us and made our buying experience so pleasurable, a feather in your cap.

My partner Michael Kelly and I have just bought a boat from Boatshed in Costa Brava, Empuriabrava. Paul and Steve the guy's that we dealt with we're absolutely fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. They even helped organise our moorings for the year, they are a credit to your organisation and we just wanted to show some kind of recognition for all their hard work. It has been a pleasure doing business and we are going to keep in touch with them as we will be going back to the boat in March time. Again well done on a good organisation.

I purchased Romar. I can recommend the broker, Graham Wharmby at Boatshed Bourgogne, who did a fabulous job for the seller and for me.

Hello Stephen (Boatshed Plymouth), We landed yesterday in Saint Pabu, Aber Benoit after a great sail from Plymouth. Everything went perfectly, Sea Devil sailed pretty fast the passage at a average speed of 5.5 knots, 22 hours harbour to harbour. We had to slow her down at the end to be able to land with daylight. wearing half the main and a small triangle forward, she would still sail at 5 knots. I wouldn't say the weather was my favorite, with a sloppy short sea and quite breezy, but at least the sun was up and we were going in the direction we wanted.It has been a nice adventure and I am really happy to see her on the mooring ball, she is a good little boat!I have to thanks you again for everything you did for us, wich made our stay in Plymouth and the boat preparation a pleasure. Too bad we couldn't sail more on the Cornwall coast despite of a poor weather to do so. But , I am sure we will come back for more exploration in the near future.Don't hesitate to tell me if you come to France, we will be happy to see you.

Hi Stephen (Boatshed Plymouth), "Heather Pam" arrived safely, where she drew lots of admiring glances from loads of folk who turned up to see he arrive. Thank you ever so much for all your help, much appreciated. The transport driver Guy Owen was brilliant and the boat yard were impressed too and took his details for further work.

I and my wife Julia, would like to pass on our thanks on to Keith for making the purchase of our first boat, Volare, an absolute pleasure. Keith arranged everything from the first viewing to completion of the sale, including transportation from Gt Yarmouth to Windsor. We were unable to be present to take delivery of Volare after completion, so after he arranged for the hauliers to pick up the boat, Keith was also on hand to ensure she was lifted onto the transport at Gt Yarmouth and sent safely on her way to us. We are still in touch with Keith (Boatshed Norfolk) who is always available to answer any questions which have cropped up since we took delivery of her last Month. If Keith is the yardstick for the rest of your brokers then I would recommend anyone thinking of buying a boat to use Boatshed. Kind regards
