Customer Comments

Samantha kept me informed every step of the way during the purchase of my yacht. She was very prompt in returning my calls and emails. She had a good understanding of the yacht she was selling. Highly recommended.

Samantha assisted us through a very complicated sale process that took over 2 months to complete. Few of the other yacht brokers I encountered during the search for my new boat would have been able to complete this process and her reward for doing so is no doubt very much deserved.

Great experience with Sam, the journey to find our boat was very smooth and communication was always on top. Sam is always very responsive and available for any questions. I highly recommend getting in touch with Sam if you are thinking of buying or selling a boat. Thank you, Sam.

Many thanks to Samantha Cassell of Boatshed Portsmouth for the successful sale of my Dehler last week. The market over the last last year and a half has been very slow in the particular price bracket and I applaud her persistence in following up any possible interest. She is very capable and knowledgeable and doesn't suffer fools gladly, moving swiftly on with the time wasters. Correct pricing is the key and her advice proved valuable. Thanks again Sam!

IT’S NOT LIKE SELLING A CAR. When I made the difficult decision to sell my boat, after 11 happy years of ownership, I started the essential job of researching boat sales brokers in the Solent area. Truly only one stood out above all others and that was Boatshed and in particular this was due to Samantha. The reviews that previous clients of hers had left were all so positive and in the main described her as having provided an exemplary service. She gave me such good advice and metaphorically held my hand throughout the selling process. Her negotiation skills helped me through many a difficult situation and in the end she secured a good and fair price for the boat. She helped me make the right decisions in a timely manner to keep the process moving whilst resisting pressures put forward by the prospective purchaser. Thank you Sam and I wish you all the best for the future.

Sam did a brilliant job and made the sale of my boat effortless on my part. Strongly recommended

- Nigel, May 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha was extremely helpful and kept us posted. The boat did not sell herself and needed more attention than we could give her. Samantha very much helped us in that respect and sold her and kept our stress levels down. Thank you

- John, May 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

We initially tried to sell our boat privately but it proved very time consuming and unsuccessful . I contacted Sam who was professional and helped us with all aspects of our sale . We secured a buyer relatively soon after signing up with Boatshed and Sam helped us through each stage of the sale process . We are very grateful for the expert care and support we received . Thank you Sam . Highly recommend .

Selling my boat has been a somewhat arduous process, firstly privately and then through brokers. Sam came good in the end and the sale of my Hardy went through smoothly and swiftly when a serious buyer came along to view it. Boatshed Portsmouth did what they said they would do and completed the sale and took the pressure off me, well done Sam!

- Dave, Aug 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Sam, what a lady! She was honest, fair and so helpful! She made the process of buying my 'forever home' so easy and, not that I want to do it again, very easy! Thanks Sam!

- Rachael, April 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha kept me informed about the prospective buyers and their comments on the boat. She did all the viewings and gave me tips to make the boat more presentable. When i got an offer it all went through ok and did the negotiating. The completion process was pain free and smooth! Recommended!

- Adrian, April 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha was brilliant to deal with, very knowledgeable, helpful, practical, trustworthy and very fair in negotiations. She walked me through the process of purchasing my first boat and made the process very easy. On my search of a boat I meet a number of brokers and Samantha was 1 in 1000, I would highly recommend her and Boatshed Portsmouth.

- Mark, March 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

In more than 50 years of maritime experience, I have never met a broker as professional as Samantha and Boathed. She was integral, impartial, and honest in providing information, and advocated for the interests of both buyer and seller. As a new client, I am very satisfied and have no concerns about working with this company and this broker.
