Hi Boatshed Seattle, Thank you for the update. I'm impressed with the Boatshed system. As you probably already know, the first people who looked at the boat the weekend Scott picked it up from us purchased it. The sale closed today. It all happened so fast! We will be in the market for a boat when we get to Florida, so we'll definitely consult the Boatshed site once we have settled in.

Dear Scott (Boatshed Seattle), I am writing this letter to show my appreciation for a job well done. I cannot thank you enough for all of the help you provided me this past fall with the purchase of my boat, Coast Guard 44364, through your company Waterline Boats. This was a rather complex transaction being that I live in Ohio and the boat was located in Seattle. If it were not for your understanding broker skills I would not have been able to purchase this boat and get it transported to Ohio. I learned a great deal from watching you see this deal through to the very last detail including personally seeing to it that the boat was properly loaded on the transport truck as it prepared for its journey to its new home in Sandusky, Ohio. The boat is now in dry dock in Sandusky, winterized, and waiting for the spring to have the hull sandblasted and repainted in its traditional Coast Guard white. The boat should be ready to go by the end of May to participate in local Memorial Day Events. There has been a great deal of interest in the 44364 since its arrival in Sandusky and it was featured in a local newspaper, the _Sandusky Register,_ on November 28, 2011. I was pleased to see that the reporter contacted you to provide details on how we actually got the boat transported to Sandusky. I have enclosed the newspaper article for you. Again, thank you so much for helping me realize my dream of owning this boat and I wish you and Lisa all the best this upcoming holiday season and in the new year. Respectfully

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.

Ben offered a brilliant friendly and informative service from start to finish when selling our boat.

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.

- Roger, June 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth

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.

- Chris, July 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth

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"

Excellent service from Sam who really knows her business. Sold my boat in less than a week. Highly recommended!

- Barry, August 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha has made the whole process painless, with valuable advice at the critical stags of the sale. Cannot recommend her more highly - two very happy customers.

- Roger, August 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth

Samantha was so helpful, very friendly. Keeping me up to date all the time. Nothing was too much trouble, even though I was difficult to contact at times! Highly recommended.

- Brenda, September 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth

From start to finish Samantha was professional, very efficient and had a wealth of knowledge regarding the marine industry. After owning our catamaran for twenty-four years and having to retire from boating due to mobility issues Samantha made what was a difficult time flow without any issues. She was always on time for appointments and ready and willing to offer advice on the sale process. We cannot recommend Boatshed highly enough. Thank you Samantha!

- Derrick and Linda, September 2024 | Boatshed Portsmouth

I bought my first boat in December 2022. Had lots of fun since but sadly due to medical reasons I have had to sell it. Samantha Cassell who is in charge of Boatshed Portsmouth took command of the sale and has acted with super energy and achieved a sale today. I am most grateful for her professionalism. She has become a family friend!

The service at Boatshed Essex was unbeatable. It was a difficult period to sell and took a while, however the staff at Boatshed were proactive the entire time, re-photographing, following up with interested parties and making suggestions as to how best to position the boat and how to encourage interest. Thank you for all your work!

- Marc K, October 2024 | Boatshed Essex

You have achieved, exactly what you said you would. A stress free sale of my boat. You have been nothing but both helpful and professional. A good business model for sure. I am in touch with the buyer, and may even get another sail on the Hunter yet. We will see. All monies received safely to their respective accounts. Thank you again.

It has been a pleasure working with Paul Watson of Boatshed Yorkshire selling my boat. Paul has a good understanding of the market and is very realistic as to what sales can be achieved.

- Eric Goodall, Oct 2024 | Boatshed Yorkshire

Excellent service all round. Jayne the Boatshed sales rep was first class, helped us in all areas of selling our boat. We couldn't have asked for a better service.

- Owners, October 2024 | Boatshed Essex

Ben was an amazing broker for us throughout our purchase of our new Narrowboat! Always had time to answer questions and has so much insight into Narrowboats as a whole! Would definitely recommend going through Boatshed to anyone interested in viewing and purchasing a boat!
