Hi Darcy - just a brief note to say thank you for your help in selling the boat.

I really appreciated your calm and professional approach to the process. You kept me informed at every step of the way and made sure I could input when necessary whilst really taking the lead on pushing the sale through and taking all the practical steps needed to secure the sale.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I’d have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ancasta to anyone considering selling their boat

Very best regards.

I have been dealing with Lewis at Ancasta Dartmouth on purchasing a used boat. Lewis's service has been exceptional (along with Nick Bishop) from my initial enquiry through to the sea trial, sale completion and aftersales.Lewis has been accommodating and has gone above and beyond in making the sales and aftersales process a pleasant and enjoyable experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Lewis, Nick and Ancasta Dartmouth for anyone considering buying a used boat.

Dear GeraintThank you for the confirmation.May I take this opportunity to say how pleased we both are with your service.Your skill and experience have been crucial to the success of this transaction.You have been efficient in all your actions, and precise and clear in all communications.When there was a hiccup, such as the engineering work required for the shaft, your contact with Marc Godden at Black Gang Marine was critical to getting the work carried out quickly and correctly.We are both very grateful to you and to Ancasta.Regards

"Excellent Company to Deal With "In early September I decided to sell my 2006 Monterey 250CR and after some good recommendations I decided to try ancasta boat brokerage in Port Solent I was greeted by a very friendly guy called Geraint who sat me down with a coffee and explained the whole process to me from start to finish which made me feel very at ease. As promised Geraint turned up a couple of days later photographed the boat and it was put on their website for sale the next day. Before I knew it I had a phone call from them and they had a buyer for the boat, we agreed a price and the deal was done, I was extremely happy. I would recommend Ancasta to anyone, they are a very professional company, and I would certainly use them again when buying or selling my next boat.

I thought I would drop you a line as Little Nell is now in Brixham, with Spinnaker now tested and Hilary has sorted the soft furnishings! She really is a fantastic boat and anyone who has sailed her falls in love with the experience so again many thanks for helping the dream come true! We are loving it! Keep in touch and if you are every in the West Country it would be good to have a beer!

Thanks again for getting the asking price, in a very short time. Your help in selling my boat was very appreciated.

I came to Ancasta Chichester to enquire about an Island Packet 485. As the deal progressed it became increasingly complicated due to factors from the survey and a sadly departed owner. Without much knowledge of the intricacies of the boat and the probability of an extensive project, it was certainly difficult. But thankfully, due to the level of professionalism, knowledge and attentiveness to both parties from Jamie and Darcy, the deal came to fruition. The real value of using a broker is not always evident but when things go badly, they are priceless. Thanks, guys. We are convinced that the sale was only successful due to your hard work and professionalism.When the time comes, Jamie and Darcy will certainly be my first port of call.

‘When we went to Ancasta Chichester to enquire about a pre-owned boat it was akin to being reacquainted with some old friends. I was with my family and we were made to feel very welcome.

Both Jamie and Darcy knew the boats history and had clearly had in depth conversations with the then current owner. The presentation photographs and inventory were spot on. Subsequent viewing and the presentation of the boat was a pleasure and we were confident to proceed with the purchase and survey.

Jamie and Darcy kept communication flowing and coordinated the lift out and dates with my selected surveyor. The entire process was directed by the office and we had a fantastic handover experience.

This is the second positive experience and yacht we have purchased from Ancasta. It is not all about the boat, as the prep, the detail and the documentation are super important and this will stand you in good stead when you wish to sell and/or replace. All in all, we could not have asked for anything to be different; it was perfect thank you Ancasta and in particular Jamie and Darcy.’
