Boatshed - Whats makes them tick

 

We thought we'd better tell you a little bit about ourselves and why we are different.

 
1)    We're big
We have offices all over the world
(over 70 at the last count)
We have registered users all over the world
(250,000 when we last looked)
and we have boats lying all over the world
(2,750 and counting)
2)    We only sell used boats

Which means we are not trying to sell you a newer version of the boat you have set your heart on. 
It also means that we can give you unbiaised advice, we have no conflict of interest and we are experts in our field.  And that's the way it is going to stay.


3)    No sale no fee
The deal is that you as a seller have nothing to loose. We charge a competitive commission rate on the boats we do sell. 
As a buyer, register on our site (for FREE) to see up to 70 photos of each boat on our books.  You can also be confident that a Boatshed broker has personally visited, evaluated and photographed every boat that we sell.
4)    Customer service is very important to us
Everybody says that don't they?  So to us, everybody we come into contact with becomes our friends.
We make friends with everyone so that we can give all of our friends the benefit of our experience with everything from selling boats to finding transport, sail makers, anti-fouling companies or insurance brokers.
5)    We are committed to communication
Whether that is with our customers, the seller, our offices, our friends or our contacts we make sure we keep in touch. This extends to every bit of the boat selling process including accompanying prospective buyers on viewings, keeping all parties up to speed with developments and even being there when the surveyor turns up. 
We are also able, at any moment, to inform everybody in the group about something ground breaking just as we are able to choose the exact person we know is going to be really excited about the latest Sunseeker coming on to our books.
 
6)    We have been established since 1999
Which means in the traditional yacht brokerage world we are new. 

Our technologies are new, our approach is new and our systems are new.  But they have all been tested rigorously and they work. 
In a changing market place we keep ahead because we are evolving faster than the world in which we work. 

All good news for anyone buying or selling a boat because it means we keep ahead of the competition.

 
7)    We have local offices with global reach
Or to put it the other way around, we have a global company with localised knowledge. 

Both ways sound good and both ways mean that we are unique.  We can assist with yacht sales on a local and personal level backed up by a wide-reaching global support structure with regards to security, paperwork, title, money handling and problem solving. 
On a global level we oversee changes in the industry, we market, we attend international boat shows and we make sure that every local office benefits from our fact-finding.
