Boats For Sale Chichester – Ancasta

We were looking for our next boat and had decided on a three-cabin flybridge. Ancasta Chichester was advertising a 1999 Princess 460 which looked like it could fit the bill, so we made an appointment to view. A long drive from our home in Essex to Chichester Marina to view the boat proved very fruitful, and after a fault-free sea trial and positive survey, we are now the proud owners of that vessel! From the first contact, Sam and Chris at Ancasta Chichester proved themselves to be the ideal intermediaries - well informed, responsive, flexible and friendly. We felt very welcome and supported at all stages of this process, our questions and concerns were addressed quickly, and we feel confident that we have secured a fair deal on an excellent boat. If you’re an owner thinking of selling, or a buyer considering a used boat, I’d be happy to recommend this Ancasta team.

Tansu and I would like to express our appreciation for the very professional manner in which the sale of the yacht was achieved.We look forward to a new adventure and wish you and Darcy every success in your careers. Kind regards.

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 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.’

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]  

Tillie was an absolute delight to work with in selling my boat. I first contacted her on a Wednesday and had an agreed offer by the next Sunday - a remarkable achievement. The whole process went exceptionally smoothly, thanks to her willingness to coordinate the efforts of all those involved, from boatyard to surveyor, as well as the purchaser and myself. Her communication skills and focus on customer satisfaction are exceptional. I would not hesitate in recommending Tillie to anyone considering selling their boat.

Tillie provided an excellent, professional and very helpful service when we bought our first ever boat from Ancasta Chichester. We would thoroughly recommend her and the brokerage. Gingerxela
