Customer Comments

You're the best boat broker I've ever worked with!

- Russell, May 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

A few years ago Tim Kingston of Brighton Boat Shed assisted us with the sale of our Nicolson 48. We came back to him again recently to purchase our beautiful Westerly Seahawk 35 from. The selling and buying process was seamless as Tim is personable, engaging, knowledgeable and incredibly customer focused. Thank you Tim for all your help and assistance past and present.

We took the difficult decision to sell our boat as we were able to get out on her as much as we would have liked. The next decision was do we try and sell her ourselves or use a broker? Fortunately for us we sought advice from our Yacht club who recommend Tim at Boatshed Brighton. They have worked together for several years and we are so glad we engaged Boatshed to market our boat. To do so ourselves would have been very time consuming - added to the fact we are relative novices to sailing and we doubt we’d have been able to sell her as quickly – if at all! We meet Tim whilst we anti-fouled her prior to offering her for sale. Tim gave us great confidence in his knowledge and ability to attract potential buyers and we were very excited when we viewed the video’s he had taken on board. It wasn’t long before we were seeing interest and then a viewing – again Tim arranged and conducted this for us, and an offer followed! He ensured all the relevant paperwork was in order and dealt with any enquiries from our buyers. All in all we can’t recommend Tim at Boatshed Brighton highly enough. Well done and thank you Tim.

"Many thanks for a smooth exchange of ownership of 'Grey Wolf'. Boatshed Hayling Island were a pleasure to deal with being very helpful and professional".

- Tim and Sally. | Boatshed Hayling Island

"Great service from yourself & Boatshed, easy to contact at anytime & kept fully informed. All paperwork was quick & easy, a very comprehensive service throughout"

- 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"

- Mike and Jane Doxat - Pratt | Boatshed Hayling Island

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your superb brokerage skills in selling Golly. As you know we have bought and sold many boats over the years and this has by far been the most stress free and pleasurable experience.

- Nick Teale - May 2019 | Boatshed IOW

I must compliment you on the transaction, you are without doubt the best broker I’ve met during my search and I will happily refer my friends to you. Thank you once again for arranging everything so seamlessly!

- Glen Kessels - May 2019 | Boatshed IOW

Just had to 5star Tim from Boatshed Brighton who sold my boat for me, it was a very traumatic time for me personally so to have Tim deal with everything professionally took the stress out of the whole experience. I would thoroughly recommend Boatshed Brighton if you want your boat sold faster than any other broker. Tim really knows and understands the market well.

- JP, May 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

5 stars for Tim’s customer services; excellent communication and knowledge.

- Paul, May 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

Just bought a Sadler 29 through Boatshed Brighton. The process has been so easy and effortless I am immensely grateful to Tim who has so skilfully helped me and the previous owner to a successful conclusion sale and purchase. I am delighted and Tim continues to be of help in so many ways. Thanks Tim

Very professional service with good communication and professional approach. Very knowledgeable and easy to deal with.

- Angela, April 2019 | Boatshed Brighton

I was very pleased with the service that Boatshed provided in the sale of my IOR racing yacht. My transaction was handled very efficiently by Samantha Cassell, and all stages from producing the advert details, to taking prospective purchasers over my boat, and finally closing out the sale with all paperwork in place were dealt with by Boatshed in a very professional manner. The service was good value for money and I would recommend Boatshed to others.
