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.

BEST BROKERAGE AROUND....Tim and his team did an amazing job creating an excellent description with lots of photos. The website displays all the information a buyer could ask for, and there are regular updates with statistics, including how many buyers have viewed the boat and how often. Tim found a number of interested buyers and worked with them, asking me to provide more detailed information to help progress the sale. His professional and enthusiastic advice ensured a successful sale to a very satisfied new owner. Did a perfect job.....Can't ask for more.!!!!

Thanks again for the excellent professional service you provided, it made the purchase of our boat such a hassle free experience. It is refreshing to deal with professionals that look after the interest of both buyer and vendor with such transparent, helpful negotiation. So smooth! I would highly recommend your team to anyone looking to buy or sell a vessel.

We were able to view the boat at our leisure, getting answers to any questions we had. Nothing seemed to be a problem. We couldn't have been more pleased with Paul's patience and informative feedback! Thank you to Paul we hope to do business with you again.

Mike, you are a cracking guy! You made the whole purchasing process simple. Very happy with the deal you were able to seal for us. And a cracking boat she is too!

We recently purchased a boat from Mike at Boatshed Wales and couldn’t thank him enough. After viewing the boat online and contacting Mike directly for extra information and additional photographs, Mike could not have been more helpful. Everything went smoothly with the viewing with everything in order as discussed by telephone. Mike went above and beyond when it came to coming up with a solution to help us get the boat home. We were traveling quite a distance to look at this boat and Mike was more than helpful providing us with all the information we asked for in order to make an informed decision about whether to make the trip. He helped us make sure everything was secured and ready for the long journey home. Cannot recommend highly enough the pre-sales information, the customer service on the day and the help in preparing the boat for transport behind our own vehicle. Thanks again Mike!

Excellent service from James and Mike when both buying and selling a yacht with them. Very knowledgeable and professional. I would not hesitate before using them again.

Ben and Calvin have been extremely nice and a welcome change from the sharky vibes of other boat brokers. They have given us valuable advice on how to start our life as boat owners and have been both responsive and flexible at the negotiation stage.

We can only recommend Boatshed Portsmouth. Sam was an absolute pleasure to deal with when buying our new boat. Everything was dealt with very professionally and with a smile. The whole buying process was very clear and easy and Sam is so knowledgeable. It was a breeze. Thanks Sam.

I would like to thank Sam for her help and expertise in guiding me through the process of selling my boat. A job well done, and a pleasure to deal with.

Samantha has held our hand throughout all aspects of our boat sale in a very professional manner. She has handled difficult negotiations in a very calm way and has kept us fully appraised throughout. I can thoroughly recommend her to others.
- Michale, August 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth
Samantha was positive and helpful throughout the whole sale process in what was a very flat market around the time of the General Election. Her advice on sale pricing to catch what interest there was around was realistic and did the trick. Once our buyer had been found she held the line regarding the price. Several timewasters were weeded out early! The "photo record" was excellent and I am sure did much to attract interest. All the administration was dealt with very promptly and professionally and turning the final agreed offer into cash went without hassle. As one might say "A pleasure to do business with"
- Tom, August 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth
Excellent service from Sam who really knows her business. Sold my boat in less than a week. Highly recommended!
- Barry, August 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth
