- Andy R July 2025 | Boatshed Hamble

Boatshed Hamble and Southampton provided an excellent service in selling my boat. Nic in particular was fantastic and made the experience stress free and offered good advice throughout. Highly recommend them to anyone else thinking of selling.

- Richard J, January 2025 | Boatshed Hamble

Very professional service. A smooth sale, especially as we were not in the UK for most of the time.

- John H, June 2024 | Boatshed Hamble

Nic Parton set a fair and realistic price for my boat and was thorough in producing a list of her details and specifications. The boat sold for just under the asking price, which I was pleased with. The boat was under offer in less than 3 months from listing. Nic attended the sea trials with the purchaser and me and was present when the boat was surveyed ready to wrap up the deal so the purchasers could take her away the following day. My boat was on a mid stream mooring and Nic was happy to take prospective purchasers out to her. The paperwork was all handled efficiently and the Boatshed system of uploading documents and the contract etc all worked well.

- Simon Butler, November 2023 | Boatshed Hamble

My boat was advertised through Boatshed Hamble in June 2023. Initial interest was shown but most prospective buyers had boats of their own for sale so nothing came of it. July and August are known as 'dead months' so it was not surprising that there was little interest. Once September came and the Southampton Boat Show was on then interest picked up and the sale went through in just over 2 weeks including the survey. This was well organised and I was kept informed as the sale progressed. Well done Nic from Boatshed Hamble.

Nic has been nothing but professional in helping me with the purchase of my new boat. I really do appreciate the time and effort he has gone through in order to complete the purchase. If i was ever in the market to get a new boat, or sell my existing boat, I would most definitely give Nic a call.

- Gavin Perfect 12/2022 | Boatshed Hamble

I would on behalf of all 3 of us like to thank you enormously for your assistance in making the sale/purchase of the vessel smooth and hassle free. You have an excellent approach and are obviously very experienced and professional in your role of negotiation between vendor and purchaser which I imagine can be quite fraught at times!

From my initial contact as a prospective buyer, I found the Boatshed staff to be helpful and professional throughout. The whole process, from viewing, offer, survey to completion was smooth and I knew where I stood at every stage and, as a buyer, I found that reassuring. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Clear and professional website. Very positive helpful broker Nic Parton. Regular feedback on number of website hits and speedy follow up on those more than once. Good advice on sale price asked . Constantly in touch with me during actual selling process. Final Sea trial well handled for both me as seller and the purchaser. Final deal speedily concluded and money transfered to my account. I would strongly recommend Boatshed Southampton for a boat sale. Everything was handled very efficiently and it was a pleasure dealing with them . Very happy with the process Selling a boat does not happen often in life so it was very helpful to have a very clear explanation of every stage of the process at the beginning and to have regular updates through the process.
