I decided this spring/summer that I would sell my Bavaria 38 sailing yacht. Ancasta has a good name so I went into their Kingsweir/Dartmouth office to discuss it. There I met Nick Bishop and Lewis Horne, the resident team. I never looked back. I live in Wales so the sale was at arms length, through the agents with an absent owner. Their help and advice was invaluable and geared to cover all problems. I have nothing but admiration for the service provided and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

I wish to place on record my thanks to Nick and Lewis for the way they handled the sale of our much loved yacht. From the start of the process their professionalism was clear. Nick spent time to ensure the yacht was presented in the best possible way for the photos and video walkthrough and the resulting advert was excellent. Ancaster’s reach and knowledge of the market achieved a lot of interest and viewings and ensured that we achieved a very acceptable final sale price. Ancaster Dartmouth are highly recommend.

I wanted to give a huge thank you to the whole Ancasta Lymington team and in particular Tracey and Charles for their help and guidance during the purchase of our Beneteau Oceanis 373. Right from the start Tracey was so willing to accommodate us with timings and generously gave up so much time to answer all our questions and help with the start of the boat purchase, Tracey's knowledge shown through with aplomb. At all times I felt in friendly and helpful hands. During the negotiations Charles was incredibly helpful and professional in dealing with all parties involved and all of the intricacies involved. I was incredibly impressed by the Ancasta team during this time. Post our purchase of the yacht the Ancasta team yet again showed how very helpful they could be by assisting with contact details of all the required people and services required to move the boat to its new home. During this time we had to make some last minute changes and again the team showed how accommodating they could be in light of us being rather awkward. All in all the Ancasta team have demonstrated to me what truly brilliant customer service and focus looks like. They have set a new high bar for their professionalism and ability to help. I'm so very impressed with Charles, Tracey and the whole Ancasta team. I would rate them 10 out of 10 or higher as a yacht broker with bonus marks for making me feel comfortable and confident in all the service that they offered. A massive, massive thank you from us for making our purchase so facile and enabling us to enjoy our new yacht as quickly as possible. Simply fabulous!

I really appreciate the speedy and efficient way in which this issue was handled by Ancasta.

I am semi retired and received an offer to return to work Overseas so I decided to sell my Nimbus 280, which I had purchased Sept 2221.I discussed the potential sale with Jamie Allwork and decided to go head, the advice was true, non pressured and professional and I felt well advised and in good hands.Along with his colleague Darcy my boat was put on the Market during May 22.My boat was sold in under a week, the price exceeded what I had paid for it six months ago further which indicated the valuation in current market was correct. The handling of the sale by your two employees was totally professional and seamless.Thank you Ancasta [Chichester Office] 

We have just completed on the purchase of a yacht sold through Ancasta Port Solent. From the beginning Oliver was excellent. He kept in touch throughout the process and made the whole experience stress free and above all enjoyable.

I met the best broker one could wish.  You were not lazy, you were not bad informed, you didn’t try to sell yachts you sold already or that were also advertised by others, your ego was not more important than the sale, you were not dishonest about the quality of the yacht. Thank you for your cooperation.

Finally took delivery of our Lagoon 50. I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Ancasta! What a great team. I can thoroughly recommend this team, exceptionally friendly, helpful, professional and efficient in very trying times!
