Boatshed Anmeldelser 

I made an offer for a boat and had good responce from Mike saying he had spoken to the owner and got the price close to my offer.
I emailed back to say I will come and view on Satuday and if happy with the boat would pay and take away but no responce back. I knew Boatshed Wales opening times were 10am to 1pm on Saturdays so went on down after a 1and a half hour drive arrived at 10.30 to find it all locked up went for a look at the boats in Neyland and then went back stull locked up very dissapointed they have now lost a sale.

I bought a yacht through boatshed Scotland , nearly every component on the boat had to be re-new the garmin plotter advertise as new , was not, the stern gland advertised recently renew , let in an average of 2.5 builders buckets every 3-4 days. The radio transmitted but did not receive messages, New radio arial and coxial cable installed, The engine head had to be removed injectors and valves refurbished, The boat was also sold to me with a carriage block on the reefing system jamming , so in a 18 plus knot wind i have to go to the mast belay the reef tack then i go to clew on leech and attach the reef to end of boom, of course the autohelm is only reliable in moderate winds .new starter motor needed , when i had the boat lifted the owner had anti fouled it before i got there , when i got the boat lifted and pressure wash it peel back like a world map. IF YOUR BUYING A BOAT MAKE SURE TO CHECK ALL THE WORKING COMPONENTS DO NOT TAKE THE BROKERS , VENDERS or Advert word for it

Samantha helped us to sell our much lovely family Westerly Conway. She was brilliant from start to finish and always at the end of the phone. Would recommend without a doubt, thanks Samantha!

Magnificent! Corinne at Boatshed Isle of Wight could not have been better, not just during the sale process but afterwards, she went far beyond what I had expected, I honestly dont think I could have asked for more and I am aware I wasnt an easy customer and I still got exceptional service. Thank you.

Just like to praise Samantha Cassell for her tenacity and patience in finding a purchaser for our boat in these difficult times. 18 months have gone by and viewings have been disappointing.
Samantha has continued to stay in touch and keep us positive.
We were so happy and grateful to hear that the sale is now finalised!
Very many thanks

Bought a boat through Boatshed Gibraltar. I'm happy with the boat and the price, but dealing with Boatshed Gibraltar was like dealing with slippery eels. Poor communication, poor management and they run a mile at the slightest request for any responsibility. So, yes, buy your boat through them.... but you'd have to be crazy to sell it through them. Personally, I dislike them immensely.

I attempted to buy a canal boat through Boatshed London but, after 3 months of misleading communications and error-riddled processes, all I'm left with is the relief that it's finally over.

The boat was advertised as being sold with a "highly attractive mooring", which contributed to half of the advertised price - unfortunately the mooring was neither for sale nor in any way transferable, and a separate 1-year lease needed to be negotiated with the landowner. The final agreement, once seen, explicitly stated that canal boats were not permitted to be moored at the location.

Later, after being reassured that mooring the vessel in violation of the mooring agreement wouldn't be an issue, and making an offer on the boat regardless, I was sent a payment request for £15k less than the agreed final price - an error that was not noticed until after they attempted to complete the sale.

I say attempted, because when I received the bill of sale, the vessel that it referenced was for a completely different boat than the one I'd agreed to purchase! Further discussion revealed that they did not have the boat's HIN to put on the bill, and were unwilling to do anything in the way of investigation to reconstruct the HIN from the boat's documentation, or locate the 2-3 bills-of-sale that made up its ownership history before me.

After requesting to withdraw my offer until such documentation could be found, Boatshed opted to ignore my request and attempted to cajole me into continuing with the purchase regardless of the above. After further insisting that they return my money, they instead found the motivation to locate the HIN as originally requested - but made no acknowledgement whatsoever of my request to return my funds while this process took place.

Having completely lost trust in both the ability and integrity of Boatshed London, I explicitly demanded that they acknowledge and fulfil the request to return my money, and stated that I no longer wanted to proceed with the sale under any circumstances - to which I received a somewhat snarky response, and instructions to fill out an unnecessary Declaration of Non-Interest (I had not bought the boat, and was not in possession of a valid Bill of Sale, after all) before they would release my funds. Just wanting this clown show to be over, at this point, I dutifully signed the declaration and awaited the return of my money.

In one final show of incompetence, and despite Boatshed already holding my details on-file, the next day I received a request to enter my bank details...to begin the process of returning only ~my holding deposit~

One more sharply-worded but unacknowledged email later, I finally found my money had been returned via a manual transfer and no further action from me.

I don't know whether this endless cavalcade of errors was down to incompetence, impatience, or part of some ineffectual sales tactic, but I find myself walking away from this experience with the strong intention never to interact with Boatshed again if I can help it.

The only reason they don't get 1-star is because, ultimately, after a lot of insistence, I was able to get my money back.

Needless to say: I don't recommend buying or selling from Boatshed if you hope to keep your cortisol levels at a healthy level.

James agreed terms to sell boat, dealt with things in a professional manner and in a tough market to sell offered good advise.

DO NOT SELL YOUR BOAT WITH ANYONE ELSE! SAM IS BRILLIANT!
In a fairly slow market, Sam @ Boatshed Portsmouth, managed to sell my 36ft Westerly within a short period of time, through sheer perseverance & determination, and she managed to match boat with new owner, rather like a dating agency!
Seemless as always and very painless!

What a very nice bunch of people. First time coming found very friendly staff made us feel so welcome which I find unusual in the UK
The food was delicious imo. Yesterday had crispy chicken which is usually dry once fried but this was not. Tonight we had a curry mummmmm yummy The pitch is large enough and the toilets very clean considering it’s Easter and lots of children using them

Boat a Boat from Nick at Boatshed Suffolk and unfortunately they never provided the transporter with the keys or paperwork the advert said it had (engine service history). Likewise we didn’t receive the correct paperwork for the boat, just a scrappy a4 bill of sale. No previous Bill of Sales, ownership documents, proof of VAT, engine history. No keys. Very unprofessional.

On top of this the engine ended up having significant faults which somebody would have known about (it had attempted to be repaired) but failed to mention to us, so buyer beware! Do your own checks and do not trust what you are told.

I was very interested in two boats in the Plymouth area,which is hundreds of miles away.one was no problem at all they would " just give us call when you expect to arrive" However this was not the case with boatshed Plymouth who couldn't be bothered to answer the phone even after several attempts and leaving messages, the e-mailed excuse was to busy and no signal - which I don't believe because it rang to long before going to answer phone. I then emailed for an appointment and told diary full except 20th Dec midday which wasn't good for me having to drive hundreds of miles. I really don't think boatshed Plymouth have any interest in selling boats the one I am Interested in has been on the market for years.

I have just bought a Rodman 810 from Boatshed Wales, where the sale was managed throughout by Keith Doust. Keith was well informed about the boat,he was very helpful and answered all my questions honestly. He regularly kept me informed of the sale progress and coordinated the sale very professionally. This is the second boat I have bought from Boatshed Wales and my experience has been positive again. I have no problem recommending the company as a quality broker, and Keith has been excellent throughout.

I sold my boat through Boatshed Norfolk and I have to say it was a pleasure dealing with these guys.
I was constantly updated re viewings and was sent a report monthly showing interest levels compared with other boats they have.
The sales process was easy and I was paid the same day the buyer completed the sale.

NEVER GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS!!

REPLY. Whatever happens you are spammers, you deliberately ask an email to get access to photos then your spamming starts, its the face of who you are, each time i use another email address you spam, after the last time, this time, i refuse too look at any boats you have for sale, l will look elsewhere, you are the only company that does this and after many years you are known for it. My company has never done it to our customers or potential customers, Good bye.

Just had a 2nd go at arranging to see two boats at Boatshed Suffolk. The agent is too busy to show us on a weekend, and gives the impression that he's not interested in our custom. I wouldn't use him to sell my boat!

I am writing this review to express my utmost satisfaction and appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Jayne of Boatshed Essex during my recent purchase of a Hunter Horizon 23 yacht. As a first-time boat owner, I had numerous questions and concerns, and Jayne's assistance and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire process.

From the very beginning, Jayne exhibited a high level of professionalism, diligence, and knowledge. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had all the necessary information to make an informed decision. She patiently guided me through various aspects of boat ownership, including marinas, insurance, rigging, and surveyors. Her comprehensive understanding of the industry and her willingness to share her knowledge were truly remarkable.

I was particularly impressed by Jayne's proactive approach to keeping me updated. She took the initiative to provide regular updates on the progress of the sale, and her timely responses to my queries and correspondence were greatly appreciated. Her attention to detail and promptness in handling all matters demonstrated her commitment to ensuring a smooth and seamless transaction.

During the negotiation stage, Jayne's unbiased approach and mediation skills were instrumental in reaching a mutually acceptable price for both parties. Her ability to navigate the negotiation process with professionalism and fairness was commendable. She truly acted as a trusted intermediary, prioritizing the best interests of both the buyer and the seller.

Moreover, I found Jayne to be not only professional but also empathetic and friendly. She took the time to understand my needs and concerns, and her genuine care and support made the entire experience much more enjoyable. Her personable nature and willingness to go the extra mile created a sense of trust and confidence that is invaluable when engaging in such a significant transaction.

In summary, I am extremely pleased with the service provided by Jayne. Her professionalism, diligence, expertise, empathy, and friendly demeanor were instrumental in making the purchase of my Hunter Horizon 23 yacht a smooth and enjoyable process. I wholeheartedly recommend Jayne to any sellers or buyers in the market, as I am confident that they will receive the same exceptional service that I did.

Andy a Topham …. Senior Broker at Boat Shed St Lucia .
Denise and I cannot say enough about Andy of BOATSHED St Lucia .
Do yourself a favor and listen to EVERYTHING Andy directs you too do in order to sell or buy a boat .
There were times when … Yes…. I got frustrated however it was me nothing to do with Andy . He knows this business like no other and will sell your boat . Or find you one most suitable to what you need . Not what a “ Salesman” wants you to purchase.
Andy sold our boat when we were in a rough predicament. He knew our monohaul was the Best Buy in its price range. He knew that . And he guided the exact right client to the exact boat best for the client which happened to be our VESSELL.
Bottom line is Andy Topham knew how to make everyone happy before , during , and , after the transaction was finalized.
THANKYOU so much BOATSHED St Lucia

Refined stupidity! Alan the only sales agent at Phuket. He lists a boat for sale and leaves of vacation for three weeks. What’s more he takes vacation during the busiest time for boat trading. I called the owner Neil, he sits on a yacht in Key West is a drunk like Alan. These people are drunken fools. Strongly suggest NOT to use BoatShed.

In dealing with Keith during the purchase of my boat I felt he knew what I wanted and was very genuine and knowledgeable! He is a no nonsense guy who knows his stuff. This was quite an emotional purchase as the boat I was buying was my late fathers boat and Keith supported me throughout the process and we were able to conclude a deal in double quick time!

I would highly recommend dealing with Boatshed Wales to anybody taking the journey on buying a boat for the first time or trading up.
