We purchased a boat from Dartmouth, Bertie a Swift Trawler 34.Nick and Tim were very helpful and answered all our silly questions. We couldn’t have had a better service from them. We would highly recommend them to anybody wanting to purchase a boat. Many thanks again. Anne and Hugh

Locomotion is now sold by your excellent team in record time.Communications between us started in late March this year. When we brought the boat from Poole to Lymington Yacht Haven, Tracey was there at the dock to greet us and take our lines. You offered us a prime spot in your onshore sales pitch which undoubtedly gave the boat maximum exposure. Within days Tracey had identified a potential purchaser, an offer was made and accepted. Charles subsequently took over the case and progressed the sale. At every stage we were kept in touch either by phone or email. There were some technical and other problems along the way but between us we methodically sorted them out.After the survey we finally met up with Charles and the client for the sea trial after the boat was launched. At no point was this rushed and Charles was a great asset to have on board with his advice.We’ve had many boats over the years and have always gone to great lengths to offer our boats in best possible condition at a sensible price. Good communication with the broker is  vital and we have been delighted with every aspect your Ancasta team have offered.Overall we are delighted.Thanks so much James, Tracey and Charles.Yours sincerely,JT

We are the new owners of DarkSide, a Beneteau Swift Trawler 44.I asked Nick Hatfield for your contact details as I wanted to let you know how pleased both Vicki and I were with our recent experience in the purchase of our new Boat.Our first contact with Ancasta was with Kevin Macdonald at the Southampton Boat Show last September and from the outset he proved to be an excellent ambassador for both Beneteau and Ancasta. We were at first hesitant 'new boat' purchasers but nothing was too much trouble for him and he patiently and knowledgeably guided us in our decision making. We have bought boats in the past and always felt we were being 'sold to'. In addition many brokers see their role finished once the purchase has been agreed. Neither was not the case with Kevin and we feel we now have a Trawler 'expert' that we can call on in the future. And thoroughly recommend!We should also add that Nick Hatfield provided first class support when problems arose or wheels needed oiling. Again a credit to Ancasta.Finally our thanks must go to the commissioning team ably led by Simon Miles and Judy Fisk of New Boat Administration.

We felt that we had to acknowledge the excellent service we received from you on the handover of Jenny. As you know, we have bought 3 boats from you now and this handover surpassed any other handover we have had. Jez on boat handover and sea trials, Simon the Cummins engineer and JD, giving us a handover on the Raymarine plotter etc were all most informative and went into great detail to ensure that we were up to speed on everything we needed to know. Thanks to them all.Nick, it was good to meet you and your professionalism stood out. Simon....well what can I say, you don’t change and it was a real pleasure to see you again........I will let you know how those anodes hold up without the Galvanic Isolator !!! Esta, my thanks for all the “little touches” and dealing with everything and also for dealing with my last minute requests....and also the photograph. Sorry we didn’t see Judy before we left, but as usual, perfect efficiency. Frederique...it was good to see you again and I hope I don’t need to contact you in the future, on a business basis of course! It goes without saying that all of you were most professional and very kind and we could not fault the day at all. Thank you for lunch and the very thoughtful and kind gifts you gave us.As for Jenny........well what can I say. I am most impressed with her and my most sincere thanks have to go to Rob who took the time (and patience) to sell me Jenny and to come down to Dartmouth with me. He gave me the utmost confidence (which as you know is something I needed) and I only wish that I had gone over to the Swift Trawler before now. She is a truly impressive boat. (Rob, you left your life jacket on board and I have given it to the Marina Office to give to Kevin today. If you need me to send it on elsewhere let me know and I will collect and send on.)Our very best wishes to you all and thanks once again.

We just wanted to thank you and all the Ancasta Team, for a fantastic day on Friday when we took delivery of our boat Holly Shai.We enjoyed the day and the whole Experience of buying our boat with Ancasta from the Southampton boat show to handover.The level of service and attention to detail from the whole team has been excellent, far better that we were expecting.The personal touches added to the boat, Towels, Robes, Flowers etc were very much appreciated.We look forward to many hours of cruising on board.
