Customer Comments

“Thank you Sam for a job well done. You made the sale of Shimmering Water painless from beginning to end. Communications and keeping me informed at every step of the way was fantastic. I will certainly recommend Boatshed and, in particular yourself, to anyone looking to sell their boat in the Gosport area. Again well done and many thanks”

- Jon | Boatshed Portsmouth

Would just like to thank Sam for helping us buy our first boat she put so much work into helping us at every step of the way with sorting surveys and moorings and most importantly choosing the right boat. Thanks so much Sam

- Kalvin | Boatshed Portsmouth

Hi Sam, Thankyou for your friendly and professional service resulting in the sale of our boat. Thankfully I have found a replacement vessel, also through boatshed, so no sleepless nights for me.

- Regards Phil | Boatshed Portsmouth

“As this was my first experience of buying a yacht I wasn't sure what to expect or indeed how things were done. Sam was very understanding and supportive throughout the whole process. The yacht we sailed away with was the second we put a deposit on, the survey results on the first were unfortunately not up to our expectations. Sam remained entirely professional throughout, with Boatshed returning our deposit very quickly. Sam was very prompt in all her communications even replying late in the evening where I had asked a question by text, not expecting a response until the following day. Sam provided an excellent service, and would not hesitate to recommend Sam and Boatshed Portsmouth.”

- Take care and thanks again, Steve | Boatshed Portsmouth

Hi Sam Very many thanks for selling Badgie Two. I enjoyed liaising with you and thank you for your professional, patient, upbeat approach. I was amazed at the number of hits on the website and the number of viewings that prompted. Your advert was spectacular with photos, excellent description and walk- through video. Your negotiation skills and calm approach won the day. It is unusual in business to meet someone willing to go that extra mile during weekends and late into the evening. Well done to you and to Boatshed. Thank you again

I would just like to say what a pleasure it has been working with you during the purchase of my new yacht trapper 700 thank you for all your hard work from start to finish.

- George Holland delighted new owner | Boatshed Portsmouth

Dear Sam, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you and Lyse for another swift and hassle free sale. This is the second boat we have sold through Boatshed.com and eight years on from the last sale we made the right choice again to list and sell through you. You and your team are true professionals and make what can be a very complex and stressful process very straightforward. After now doing this twice I cannot imagine why anyone would buy and sell a boat without Boasted.com taking the helm.

- Best regards Steve and Chris | Boatshed Portsmouth

Very pleased with the help Sam gave me throughout the sale process of our Westerly Oceanquest. She was proactive in recommending suppliers to repair things to make the boat as presentable as possible, providing good recommendations at all times, and the whole administrative process was smooth throughout. I would thoroughly recommend Boatshed Portsmouth to any prospective seller.

- Thanks again! | Boatshed Portsmouth

Just a little thank you to say how pleased I am with my purchase of My Contessa 28, I was very impressed with your service from the start, escorting me down in the rain and strong winds to see it in the first instance and your help and support up to completion just a few days from Christmas Day. Your service was exceptional considering my purchase was for a minimal amount of money. I couldn’t have been more impressed if I was Buying a multi Million Pound super yacht. Boatshed should be very proud of you.

- Many thanks again and good luck for the future | Boatshed Portsmouth

‘Samantha Cassell responded really quickly to my yacht sale enquiry just before a boat show, and had full details with lots of great photos on her website within 24 hrs. Throughout a 3-month sale process, she proved herself to be very attentive, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and unflustered. I certainly recommend her brokerage.’

- MB, Farnham | Boatshed Portsmouth

Sam Cassell at Boatshed acted for us selling our Bavaria. We were immediately struck by her knowledge of the market and her in-depth technical understanding. She always offered sound advice and demonstrated shrewd judgement. We particularly appreciated her ability to explain the buyers perspective. She was unfailingly courteous and very prompt in dealing with all matters. Her handling of all the administrative details of the sale was faultless. We would unreservedly recommend Boatshed Portsmouth and Sam.

- Bruce | Boatshed Portsmouth

“We would like to thank Sam Cassell and her team for their excellent service selling our Sun Odyssey 32. We always found her efficient and timely in our dealings. Her description of the boat and comprehensive suite of photos ensured the boat was presented in the best possible manner. Her guidance on final improvements to the presentation was much appreciated as was her advice on price for achieving the rapid sale which we required. We valued notice of viewings and the subsequent feedback. We felt Sam has an excellent appreciation of the local market and the speed and dynamics of selling a boat. Well done indeed Boatshed Portsmouth for an excellent job."

- Thérèse and Tony Rice | Boatshed Portsmouth

I would like to thank Sam for all her assistance, knowledge and communication with the purchase my new boat. Sam has been at all times patient, as my purchase took a couple of months, and I have never felt pressured or under informed. Only this week on completion she met me on a cold winters night at around 9pm to hand over the keys you could not wish for more in a broker and she will be my first port of call should I think of selling to upsize.

- Stephen M, Woking | Boatshed Portsmouth

We would like to say how pleased we have been with the efficient service and positive approach that Samantha Cassell of Boatshed has given us. We were provided with good advice when the boat was first put on the market, very good photographs and details were taken and we have always been kept closely informed of prospective purchasers and their views. The sale went through very smoothly and the account settled quickly on completion. Samantha has always been very quick to reply both verbally and by text, which has helped us to keep good momentum in the sale process. I would certainly recommend Boatshed Portsmouth and will use them to purchase my next boat if something suitable becomes available.

- Bryan & Kate | Boatshed Portsmouth

Portsmouth Boatshed agreed to undertake to sale of our Bavaria 34 in May 17 and Sam Cassell came aboard to take the photos and gather details. She ensured that the photos showed our boat at its best and then discussed the process of the sale. She also instructed us on all the documents she would need to see. The boat went on the website and Sam showed our boat to potential buyers as we lived a long way from Portsmouth. She kept us up-to-date at all times and when she had a positive buyer as we were going on holiday, she prepared all the paperwork she would need to proceed with the sale. Whilst we were on holiday in July 17 she sold the yacht and checked we could deliver the boat when needed. We are very satisfied with how the sale progressed and are happy with Portsmouth Boatshed overall.
