Customer Comments

From our initial enquiry to the completion of the sale the whole process has been handled professionally and efficiently. Samantha has substantial knowledge of boats and the boating industry. Her experience has enabled us to sell our boat quickly and with minimum effort from ourselves.

I recently put my boat for sale with Samantha Cassel of Boatshed. From setting a price, preparing and advertising the boat I was well advised and given a very professional service. The boat was under offer and sold very quickly and again I received an excellent service from both Samantha and the Head Office. I would have no qualms about recommending Samantha and Boatshed to either a buyer or a seller. Excellent service, thank you.

Sam at Boatshed Portsmouth was instrumental in helping sell my boat in a very short timeframe and for the price I wanted. She made the process painless and kept me updated every step of the way and also assisted in negotiating a higher offer with the eventually buyer. I would highly recommend her services.

From the beginning Sam was excellent in helping me get my boat into great shape to sell. She provided all the contacts I needed to make my boat look it’s best and it worked so well that I wanted to keep it. Thanks Sam for all your hard work and I can’t recommend Boatshed Portsmouth highly enough!

Thank you to Sam who was proactive in introducing our buyer to the boat before she came to the market making for a swift and transaction. We hope the new owner enjoys her as much as we did.

Purchasing a boat for the first time can be a stressful time but I needn't have worried. Samantha at Boatshed Portsmouth was terrific at taking me through the process, course correcting where required and ironing out a deal to the satisfaction of all parties. Boatshed's systems made the purchase slick with Samantha being a joy to deal with. Would not hesitate to recommend!

- Andrew. Dec 2021 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Absolutely faultless. From seeing the boat to completion of the sale Samantha organised everything from meeting the owners to sorting out the survey and paperwork. All done within 2 weeks and totally hassle free.

- Albo. Jan 2022 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Sam met all our expectations throughout the whole process of selling our boat, especially keeping us informed at every step of the way. She fielded all queries from prospective buyer in a very calm and measured way, taking away a lot of the stress from our shoulders. She is very personable and was keen to know the history of the boat and our ‘sailing story’, to maximise every selling point. Thankyou Sam for doing an excellent job and we will certainly recommend you. Underneath your friendly bubbley positive manner, lies a very determined negotiator…..for which we were truly greatful!

- Trevor. Jan 2022 | Boatshed Portsmouth

It was great to have Sam as my boat agent. She was very good and really worked for me. Living abroad is not easy when you put your boat for sale but Sam and her team made it very easy. Thank you Sam and Boatshed

- SR. Feb 2022 | Boatshed Portsmouth

- Mrs P. March 2022 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Hi Samantha, I just wanted to say a big thank you for your help throughout the transaction. It was a such a brilliant experience to get our dream boat. I was wondering if you could let Steve know that we got her back to Weymouth safely (I have attached some photos for you both). The anti fouling went to plan which was brilliant! The staff at Trafalgar Wharf were absolutely fantastic. Their service was impeccable and were there to give us a hand when needed. Thank you all so so much for assisting us. Take care,

- Megan, Aug 2021 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha had successfully sold our previous yacht during a much more difficult market, in 2016, so she was a natural choice to sell our flybridge motor boat. We also knew that a local broker is a major advantage. We had a partnership with Samantha, we cleaned and presented the boat to the highest standard and she took care of the advertising and selling. The boat was sold only a few days after listing. She had a very busy weekend conducting viewings and handling multiple offers. The boat was sold to a buyer who could not view, so he based his purchase on the excellent photos and videos that Samantha provided and a detailed specification, supported by our engine service and boat history. She even filmed the engines being started from cold. She then organised getting the boat ready for transport, by road, to Scotland.
