Customer Comments

I have just purchased a beautiful narrow boat with the help of John Stokes. John explained and informed me through every step of buying the boat from the first viewing, the survey and to the transportation. He has also been a great help giving me advice on my very first narrow boat. Well done John I say! I would and will strongly recommend him and boatshed in the future. Thank you again for the support and help

Just wanted to say a big thank you. Buying a boat can sometimes be as traumatic as owning one and I'd like to thank you for breaking the mould and making this one a real pleasure. I'm not sure you could have done any more and you certainly made the experience smooth and very painless. If I could ever afford another one I'd certainly be asking you to find it for me. Thanks again, it really was much appreciated.

After wasting over a year and then all summer with other boat yards and advertising ourselves to try to sell we did not expect the level of sales and service that we received when we handed our sports cruiser over to the Boatshed Bristol based at Portishead to sell for us in the winter missing the season and thinking it would just sit there at least until next summer. They actively compared the market with other boats to find it's true value and actually sold our boat for us within a couple of months for a fair price, two days before Xmas day and then contacted us and paid us our money immediately. What a nice Xmas present and what a great service.

Exceptional service. I would highly recommend Boatshed for the sale or purchase of a boat. They made it stress free from start to finish and continually updated on the current status. I wish I had found them earlier! They gave 100% attention. Thank you Tim

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!

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!

Please leave a short quote/testimonial about your experience with Boatshed: A lot of information was shared on the boat with honest opinions. A great deal off support was offered during and after hand-over. For the sale I was dealing Dan King and Tim Kingston, both were very helpful. Dan shared a lot of information on the boat during the purchase and also helped me get acquainted with the location and facilities in Eastbourne Sovereign Marina after I took ownership. Is there anything we could have done better? When I had electronically signed the sale and purchase agreement and paid the deposit, the status of the boat on the website took a few days to change to under offer, I would have expected this to be immediate. Any other comments? It was a warming experience dealing with the Boatshed crew, I definitely recommend this service and will certainly look to Boatshed again in case I decide to upgrade in the future. I am very pleased with the boat, she is all that I expected and maybe more. There is some work to do which I know about and reflects the final price. Boatshed helped me understand what I will need to do after taking ownership to bring the boat up to top spec and this helped me make a decision to buy her.

Samantha was brilliant to deal with, very knowledgeable, helpful, practical, trustworthy and very fair in negotiations.
