Customer Comments

"When we decided to sell our boat we approached David at Boatshed Hayling. He came to meet us on the boat and clearly explained how the process worked and once we assured him that we wanted to go ahead with the sale he took several pictures to create a listing on the website. He spent about an hour with us to familiarise himself with the boat. He went back to the boat a few days later to take many more pictures, to add to the listing on the website. This meant that within a few days he already had people interested in viewing the boat. David and Bruce showed the boat to a few interested parties, and within a few weeks of the boat going up for sale David called me to let me know that a very interested couple wanted to go out on a sea trial. Both David and Bruce came along for the sea trial, which went very well, and gave the buyers a chance to ask us any additional questions about the boat. They loved the boat, and took it away the very same day! I was very pleased with how quickly and professionally David handled the sale of our boat. The listing was accurate and the photographs were of a very high standard. The whole process went very smoothly and the boat was sold quicker than I expected"

- Beverley Bonnefoy | Boatshed Hayling Island

"Thanks for everything. Our experience of Boatshed Hayling Island was fantastic. We were kept well informed at all stages, great communication, pleasant and easy to deal with. Buying a boat is a long and stressful process, but the Boatshed service made this as easy as possible. Cheers again,"

- George and Sinead | Boatshed Hayling Island

"We always recognised that Muhuhu could only appeal to a very select marketplace. She was set up for blue water cruising and not weekends “round the cans in the Solent”. She would not be an easy sell! Thanks for finding just the right young couple to take over ownership with such obvious enthusiasm. We enjoyed meeting Sinead and George last Saturday to hand over boat keys and to give them some helpful papers. We wish them every enjoyment – hopefully as much we did in all the many miles, over many years, we sailed Muhuhu and in some “challenging” circumstances. We will always appreciate your brokerage skills and help to find the right buyers and to bring about the sale to a successful conclusion! We’re happy to have now found a good home for our lovely boat"
