Geraint Skuse

Geraint is the manager of the busy Port Solent office and having grown up on the River Thames, he has spent most of his life on or near the water. From a very early age helping his father fit-out a 12 metre Dutch steel cruiser through to part-time jobs crewing on passenger boats during the Summer holidays, he knew that his passion for the water was going to turn in to a career. Having graduated from university, he then re-located to the South Coast where he has spent the last 22 years in the marine industry selling new & used luxury sail and motor yachts. He has sold a number of new boat brands in the past including Fairline, Sealine, Bavaria, Beneteau, Prestige and most recently Sunseeker. He has extensive international brokerage experience having sold to a number of countries throughout Europe and beyond. Conversant in French & German and Full ABYA & BRBA membership. When not at work Geraint enjoys spending time with his family, boating, fishing, keeping fit and watching rugby & football.

Daren Howell

Daren has spent most of his career marketing business transformation and IT services to discerning directors and vice presidents of enterprise businesses. His passion for boats started out with a small Pioner 11 and a 2hp Honda motor used on the river Wey in Godalming, Surrey. Daren began level 1 dingy sailing in Chichester, Bosham and then moved on to yacht sailing at Gosport, where he undertook RYA Training to Day Skipper level in a Jeanneau 36. More recently, he became a member of the Speedbird Offshore Yacht Club sailing a Bavaria 37 and a Beneteau 38 in Solent. The combination of marketing and sailing experience ensures customers receive the help and support they need to buy the boat that’s right for them.

Dear Geraint and Rupert, Thank you for effecting the sale of Free Spirit so professionally and smoothly. As you know it was a difficult decision for us to make but having done so, I thank you for making it appear and feel so straightforward. Best regards
Mr W
Rupert and Geraint at Port Solent did an outstanding job securing a sale that went very smoothly. The attention to detail on the documentation and paperwork from the outset ensured that once a buyer had been found, the transaction was able to progress swiftly to a conclusion. This is in stark contrast to my purchase with a different broker where the paperwork and admin were clearly an afterthought despite this being key to any transaction. I would definitely use Ancasta again for a sale or purchase.
Spencer Chase
Great service from Geraint and the rest of the team when selling our yacht. This was a long process requiring patience and diligence, but the whole team pulled together to push the sale though and no stone was left unturned when it came to sorting out unexpected issues. So many thanks for all your hard work - much appreciated.

We found Ancasta, Leo, Rupert and the team at Port Solent office, incredibly helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable. This was our first boat and we uncertain about the process, with their help it was simple, any questions we had, and we had a lot, were answered quickly. Collection of the boat was made simple, all paperwork was provided and importantly, explained to us, the boat was inspected, Leo’s knowledge of the operation and explanations of this boat were helpful and for myself a must. The bottle of champagne he brought for us was so appreciated, this together with the assurance that we could...
Boat Samsara
After several months of looking and two failed surveys, I have just completed the purchase of my first boat, a Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795. As a newcomer to boating I have to admit my first impression of boat brokers was pretty poor (compared to other industries I deal with) - descriptions were definitely on the optimistic side, boats were untidy, dirty and generally poorly presented. No excuses, just very poor sales and I would be careful who to list my boat with in the future. Then I came across Ancasta (Leo Walters) who shone bright like a beacon. The description of the boat was accurate, min...

I was amazed at the outstanding level of support and effectiveness Geraint and the team at Port Solent have provided through the sale of our yacht.  They achieved a very fair price in a short period of time – a far better outcome than my previous yacht sale experiences.  I would gladly recommend using Ancasta for yacht sales to my friends and family. Best
