Dear James, We just wanted to thank you and your team very much for all of your help with the sale of ‘Jessie B’ and the purchase of our new boat. You run a very professional and effective outfit. Much appreciated.

James and the team at Lymington have given a really professional service as ever which we are really grateful for. We have bought and sold three boats through Ancasta and each time have received a really amazing and professional service. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them and will without doubt be using them again.

Just a brief email to let you know what an excellent job James Douch and John Wooldridge in your Lymington office did in handling the sale of my boat Sona Breac. Nothing was too much trouble for them in handling all the paperwork, extolling the merits of the boat, arranging and attending sea trials, coordinating the lift out survey and encouraging the buyers who, I thought, were rather difficult! It was be a superb example of brilliant customer service and an altogether excellent experience. Many thanks.
I must say I couldn't have dreamt of the quality of service and kindness I had from you.

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
