Ancasta Dartmouth Boat Sales

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.

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.

Truly excellent service from Nick and Tim selling our Cornish Crabber 26 - they went the extra mile to satisfy the most demanding of buyers and got the sale through on time and on target.

A great service from Nick and Tim for our purchase of a Malo 36 whilst in lockdown. Great advice on various local surveyors and Nick kept everyone informed as to what we could do and when. The purchase was straight forward and Nick kept us up to date with how the purchase was progressing. Unfortunately we were unable to collect the boat to move to Totnes, so Nick and Tim got up in the middle of the night to take the boat up river for lift out at 7.00am for onward travel overland. This is well beyond what we expected but Nick and Tim have developed ways for keeping their customers very happy whilst we are still in lockdown. Thanks

A very responsive and helpful team, who provided support and information through a challenging time. They pursued opportunities and closed a sale whilst dealing with the challenges of lockdown, for which we are very grateful.

Nick and Tim both did an excellent job finding a buyer for my boat. They continued to use their best endeavours to seek a purchaser through the lockdown and difficult market. As I was abroad when the new owner was found, they spent a great deal of time liaising with the surveyor and sorting out problems . I would without hesitation recommend them to any body wanting to sell a boat in Devon

This was the first time we have purchased a boat , and it was a complicated boat to survey and understand given her size and her age, Nick Bishop and Tim Barlow at Ancasta Dartmouth guided and helped us through the process with an incredible level of detail and support, providing a level of customer service I haven't seen in a long time, absolutely fantastic. I would happily recommend this business and especially those two gentlemen if you are considering buying or selling a boat
