I am writing in connection with the recent sale of my Bavaria 42 Cruiser at Port Solent. This sale was pro-actively managed by Jamie Swaine. From the start, Jamie had everything organised and a number of prospective purchasers lined up. I believe there were three viewings within a very few days of signing your contract. This resulted in an offer and a full survey, which was completed in short order. The sale was formally completed less than a week later. From start to finish, Jamie was efficient, communicative and extremely polite. In my opinion, you should regard him as a great asset to your organisation.

I would like to thank Jamie and Sam for all their help, support and assistance in our recent boat sale. During a couple of trying times, they maintained their professionalism and were brokers in the truest sense, brokering the sale to its successful conclusion - many thanks!

After a bad experience with a previous broker unable to even get a viewing for my boat in over a year i approached Ancasta with some trepidation. Sam and Jamie straight away viewed my boat and created new selling details that produced immediate interest. Unlike other brokers i have had dealings with Ancasta use a more proactive approach to prospective purchasers and mailed out my details following up enquiries. From initial viewing to sale was just three weeks including a gruelling survey and sea trial. Excellent service by the team in Port Solent and would thoroughly recommend them
Lyn Watkins
Due to C-19 our boat purchase went on for a number of months, so we had lots of conversations and dealings with Sam and latterly Jamie and Alex. Sam kept in regular contact throughout the lockdown period, helping, advising and supporting us throughout. We found all the staff professional, knowledgeable, supportive and above all, friendly and honest throughout our purchasing experience. We have no hesitate in recommending Ancasta. They helped us find, what we hope is, our forever home and boat!!!

James Hutchinson was very helpful in brokering a quick sale and working to fit with our circumstances.

I would like to express my thanks on the professional manner in which you have dealt with the sale of our boat. It is said that the best two days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. I am sure in part that this is due to the painless sale process. There are always a lot of postings on the forums about how using a broker is a waste of time and money, all I can say about this transaction is that your effort was worth every penny!
