Customer Comments

Having spent a couple of weeks dealing with Boatshed Yorkshire via their excellent representative (Paul), I have only good things to report. Paul is amazing, in that he is responsive, ultraprofessional, friendly and a total credit to the organisation. I am not a "virgin" buyer and have been in or around boats most of my life. This guy deserves all the plaudits he should receive. Oh, and by the way , yes of course I bought the boat. As far as I am concerned when considering a boat purchase Paul is a good first point of call. Thanks Paul.

I approached Ian Welsh of Boatshed Poole in August 2014 to sell my Rib. With the guidance offered from Ian Welsh and the Boatshed Poole Team I found the initial paperwork and required information very easy to compile. I was also given valuable assistance to establish an accurate asking price for the Rib. The viewings were conducted efficiently and I was always given comprehensive feedback from the comments made by the prospective buyers. I was given an accurate assessment on the best course of action to take concerning the adjustment of the price and the offers subsequently made by the prospective buyers. Eventually, the Rib sold in early May 2015. I was pleased with the figure it realised and the final documentation required by the buyer was compiled and completed efficiently by Jane Wilkins of Boatshed Poole. Overall, I found the sale of my Rib a very painless process due entirely to the efforts of the team at Boatshed Poole and I would thoroughly recommend other boat owners in the vicinity, who wish to sell their boats, to engage the services of the Boatshed Poole.

- Stephen | Boatshed Medway

Just a note to thank you for the successful and commendably quick sale of my boat. I feared that she might be difficult to place, but you seem to have managed remarkably well! May the rest of your business be equally fortunate.

- Aidan | Boatshed Poole

I just wished to take a few moments to be able to thank your team in its professional way that it has handled the sale of my boat. Anthony was extremely hands on, being generous with his time and offers to buy coffee. All in all what matters is that I sold my boat for the amount that I wanted, in which the Boatshed provided a service that I required and sold my boat for the price that I wanted. Anyone could not want more from a service, and one that I would definitely use in the future. Thanks again

- Simon | Boatshed Poole

I would not hesitate to recommend Boatshed Poole when selling a boat. I found them efficient, professional & friendly. They gave a good presentation of my boat. The communication throughout was up to date, very good & informative.

- Ted | Boatshed Poole

Just a brief note to extend a big thank you for your assistance in my recent purchase of the Etap 30. Negotiations could have been a difficult due to the owner now living abroad but I was delighted with the way you were able to overcome the communication issues and effect a speedy and trouble free purchase on my behalf. I also appreciated your personable and professional manner and the help given by Jane in the office. If in the future I need a brokerage service I will certainly be knocking on the door of Boatshed Poole, once again my grateful thanks.

- David | Boatshed Poole

Thanks for all your help in the sale of our Hunter Ranger 265 – things seemed to start moving when you took over. I always felt I knew exactly what was happening from the way you provided updates etc and I really appreciated your advice on level of pricing to push forward the sales process which saw positive enquiries and viewings begin to happen. I felt a lot of confidence in the whole process because of the professional and knowledgeable manner in which you handled the sale.

Jeanneau Leader 705 Purchase As a relative newbie to boating, Ian at Boatshed Poole helped simplify every step of my purchase, helping to arrange basics such as a survey & sea trial, but also going the extra mile by filling with fuel for my trip home and arranging for a local fisherman to guide me out of a potentially hazardous marina on an early tide. Always quick to reply to calls & mails and having a 'can do' attitude, I would have no hesitation in recommending.

- Darren | Boatshed Poole

I have just purchased a superb fast fishing boat, a Seafox 256 using Boatshed Poole, the service of Jane and Ian was very good, not just arranging viewings but handling the organisation of a survey and all the financial transaction. The details of the boat advertised on line were very accurate and the photographs did not portray anything but the facts. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable from start to finish, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Boatshed Poole again. Alex, Chef and now catching my own fish

In October 2014 I contacted BoatShedPoole regarding a Cornish Crabber Yawl, they had for sale on their site. I rapidly arranged a viewing of the boat with Ian Welsh. He was very helpful and thoroughly professional. Regarding a couple of my questions he did not know the answers to he quickly found out the answers. Jane Wilkins has also been a point of email contact, she too has been very helpful throughout the process. Both Jane and Ian were easy to contact and responded very quickly. I seem to recall I made an offer on the same day as viewing the boat. From my point of view an excellent price was agreed with the vendor, negotiated by Ian, within a short space of time. The sale was subject to survey. All the arrangements for the surveyor were handled efficiently. Ian negotiated a reduction in the price to my satisfaction, based on the survey. He then was very helpful in advising and supporting me to arrange the stepping of the masts, securing her for transport to North Devon etc. I would thoroughly recommend BoatShedPoole to other people looking to buy a boat.
