Customer Comments

Samantha assisted us through a very complicated sale process that took over 2 months to complete. Few of the other yacht brokers I encountered during the search for my new boat would have been able to complete this process and her reward for doing so is no doubt very much deserved.

Great experience with Sam, the journey to find our boat was very smooth and communication was always on top. Sam is always very responsive and available for any questions. I highly recommend getting in touch with Sam if you are thinking of buying or selling a boat. Thank you, Sam.

Many thanks to Samantha Cassell of Boatshed Portsmouth for the successful sale of my Dehler last week. The market over the last last year and a half has been very slow in the particular price bracket and I applaud her persistence in following up any possible interest. She is very capable and knowledgeable and doesn't suffer fools gladly, moving swiftly on with the time wasters. Correct pricing is the key and her advice proved valuable. Thanks again Sam!

IT’S NOT LIKE SELLING A CAR. When I made the difficult decision to sell my boat, after 11 happy years of ownership, I started the essential job of researching boat sales brokers in the Solent area. Truly only one stood out above all others and that was Boatshed and in particular this was due to Samantha. The reviews that previous clients of hers had left were all so positive and in the main described her as having provided an exemplary service. She gave me such good advice and metaphorically held my hand throughout the selling process. Her negotiation skills helped me through many a difficult situation and in the end she secured a good and fair price for the boat. She helped me make the right decisions in a timely manner to keep the process moving whilst resisting pressures put forward by the prospective purchaser. Thank you Sam and I wish you all the best for the future.

Sam did a brilliant job and made the sale of my boat effortless on my part. Strongly recommended

- Nigel, May 2025 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha was extremely helpful and kept us posted. The boat did not sell herself and needed more attention than we could give her. Samantha very much helped us in that respect and sold her and kept our stress levels down. Thank you

We initially tried to sell our boat privately but it proved very time consuming and unsuccessful . I contacted Sam who was professional and helped us with all aspects of our sale . We secured a buyer relatively soon after signing up with Boatshed and Sam helped us through each stage of the sale process . We are very grateful for the expert care and support we received . Thank you Sam . Highly recommend .

This is the second time of using Boatshed Essex and would recommend them to anyone who requires the services of a yacht broker. I've found them to be honest, efficient and pleasant to deal with. I will be back when the time comes to sell my current boat.

- Owner (08/2025) | Boatshed Essex

Selling my boat has been a somewhat arduous process, firstly privately and then through brokers. Sam came good in the end and the sale of my Hardy went through smoothly and swiftly when a serious buyer came along to view it. Boatshed Portsmouth did what they said they would do and completed the sale and took the pressure off me, well done Sam!

“Exceptional Service from Start to Finish Jayne was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always ready to answer any questions both before and after the sale went through and made everything completely stress-free. She was always one step ahead, making sure nothing was overlooked, and kept me updated every step of the way.

I’ve just watched on X's phone the video you took when you were in XXX and … I must say …. I am very impressed … I am extremely happy with your video … I cannot imagine anybody doing such a great job. Also the photos are fantastic. So I’m very grateful that you travelled all the way to Chichester to do this…even though you’re so busy.
