Sad as it was to sell her, I must say that you made the whole process quick and painless so many thanks for your input.

Re my recent boat purchase though Boatshed at Poole I would just like to commend the team that handled the Purchase. As I am based in China the whole proceedings had to be handled by E mail which adds an additional complication to the procedure, but the whole transaction was dealt with in a very professional & friendly way by Mr. West & later by Jane. This gave me the confidence to proceed without actually viewing the boat.

Many thanks for your email confirming the purchase of the Rival 32. I am very pleased with her and I would like to thank Richard for a very straightforward transaction and you for the very easy contract completion.

I actually have always insured my boats through Navigator and General and while I was waiting on them to respond back, I clicked on your Boatshed Insurance Link. Upshot is they were as impressive as you and I ended up using them instead. Fast and efficient service. Overall out of all the boats over the years I’ve bought this by far has been the least problematic so I can’t praise you or Boatshed enough for handling all this.

I would highly recommend the services of Boatshed Poole. Open, honest and transparent a pleasure to deal with. Both Lloyd and Jane made my first purchase an easy one, with very useful advice and guidance along with introductions to local contacts who will help ongoing (including Lloyd hopefully if I don't plague him too much) All told I'm very pleased they were handling the sale of the boat I wanted. Thanks

I recently used the services of Boatshed, who under took the sale of our Westerly Centaur. It was very satisfying that the process conducted by Ian was quick, stress free and dignified, and concluded with all parties being pleased with the transaction. Thank you

I was recently involved in negotiation, with owners of a boat that was advertised on Boatshed website, that was in the Norfolk area. Though in the end, I did not purchase the vessel, I must express my thanks to Gary from Norfolk Boatshed, who was dealing with the transaction. At the very professional way that it was all carried out, especially the very prompt manner in which my deposit was returned, when I had decided not to purchase the vessel in the end.

Not having a specific boat in mind I scanned crafts available on the net and came across one that started to tick a few boxes. On contacting Boatshed Poole I spoke to an Ian Welsh and a Jane Wilkins and over the next few weeks they were exceptionally helpful with my tentative questions. They then forwarded an extensive range of photographs graphically showing in detail all points of importance that we require when contemplating the purchase of a boat, plus their very helpful expert individual knowledge. As it was a 400mile round trip to Poole and back I had the peace of mind and confidence in Ian, Jane and Boatshed to drive to Poole and trail the trailersailer back home. The boat lived up to the information given and ticked all the boxes. There’s not many companies you can completely rely on when making a purchase . . . with Boatshed you can!!! . . .

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the professional and proactive manner with which Boasted Poole dealt with my recent purchase of a yacht they were selling. In particular, the broker I dealt with (Will West) went above and beyond the level of service one would normally expect he kept me constantly updated, worked tirelessly (often outside of the working day) and went to great lengths to resolve all my questions and obtained information from the vendor who was not always readily contactable. In my view, Will is a great credit to your company and I would not hesitate to recommend Boatshed to my colleagues if this is the standard of service your company provides.

- Mark - September 2015 | Boatshed Poole

Thank you for dealing with this proposed purchase in such a professional and friendly manner. Will always be happy to recommend you.

- Stephen | Boatshed Brighton

Having spent a couple of weeks dealing with Boatshed Yorkshire via their excellent representative (Paul), I have only good things to report. Paul is amazing, in that he is responsive, ultraprofessional, friendly and a total credit to the organisation. I am not a "virgin" buyer and have been in or around boats most of my life. This guy deserves all the plaudits he should receive. Oh, and by the way , yes of course I bought the boat. As far as I am concerned when considering a boat purchase Paul is a good first point of call. Thanks Paul.

- Berni - July 2015 | Boatshed Yorkshire

Thank you very much once again for your excellent service in selling my boat, I will be back again if and when I decide to sell another.

- Paul | Boatshed Torbay

- Alida | Boatshed Croatia

My opinion of the service from Boatshed Poole. First class service not pushy very realistic and prepared to listen and reason, and also Ian is a man of his word. Would gladly deal with him again and also Jane in the office who was also first rate. Happy satisfied customer.

I approached Ian Welsh of Boatshed Poole in August 2014 to sell my Rib. With the guidance offered from Ian Welsh and the Boatshed Poole Team I found the initial paperwork and required information very easy to compile. I was also given valuable assistance to establish an accurate asking price for the Rib. The viewings were conducted efficiently and I was always given comprehensive feedback from the comments made by the prospective buyers. I was given an accurate assessment on the best course of action to take concerning the adjustment of the price and the offers subsequently made by the prospective buyers. Eventually, the Rib sold in early May 2015. I was pleased with the figure it realised and the final documentation required by the buyer was compiled and completed efficiently by Jane Wilkins of Boatshed Poole. Overall, I found the sale of my Rib a very painless process due entirely to the efforts of the team at Boatshed Poole and I would thoroughly recommend other boat owners in the vicinity, who wish to sell their boats, to engage the services of the Boatshed Poole.
