Testimonials

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 still contact Ancasta for any help / advice after we sailed was away, again very reassuring.With our thanks to Ancasta.

Excellent team effort. Lots of good advice and guidance through the sale process

Hi Veronika and TeamThank you for a fantastic day on Friday. Everything was perfect and ran like clockwork! We’re delighted with the boat and very pleased we chose the GT41 - it’s going to be perfect for us. We were also very touched by the gifts - a really kind gesture!The trip down to Plymouth went very smoothly and was a real experience, at about 20-24 knots most of the way, and we’re now safely moored in Plymouth for the year. Tim Ball was brilliant.Thank you all for helping us through the purchase process from start to finish - we’re really pleased we bought our new boat from Ancasta.All the best

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, minor faults highlighted and extra pictures provided on request. Communications with Ancasta have been excellent, the boat was very well presented for inspection and after sales Ancasta remained interested to ensure my experience was positive. I wouldn't hesitate going to Ancasta for another purchase and if you are thinking of selling a boat, consider using Ancasta, you will get better service and value for money than many other brokers out there. And as a buying customer I would feel confident buying through them so you would be more likely to sell to me!

Bonjour à tous Un carton plein (mais pas rouge) pour le courtier d'Ancasta Benoit SIZUN. Professionnel , présent quand il le faut, de bon conseil, à l'écoute, un suivi parfait...le top!Hello everyone A solid card (but not red) for Ancasta broker Benoit SIZUN. Professional, present when needed, good advice, attentive, perfect follow-up...the best!

The Ancaster team at Dartmouth have gone above and beyond in assisting with a somewhat less than straight forward international sale and they have managed to keep their professionalism and attention to detail at the forefront throughout. A BigThank you to you guys

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

Excellent work completed at a competitive price. Staff went the extra mile arranging sail laundering in a edition to the servicing and routine maintenance work

I thought that I would drop you a line to say how very pleased we were with the help and support we got from Kostas and Josiane in Ancasta Badalona. We always felt that they were working for us, not just to make a sale. In particular Kostas was able to help and advise on some of the little touches to make Ione look a little better for sale – replacing a rusty heads jubilee clip, acid cleaning around some seacocks etc. In addition he went well beyond the call of duty in taking me to his chiropractor when I wrecked my back cleaning in lockers! We are now mourning being boatless for the first time in over 40 years. Best wishes.

Ancasta were able to quickly source a replacement hatch for me and arrange for despatch the same day. The service was excellent.

The Ancasters team, particularly Nick and Jennifer, are totally professional and they greatly reduce the headache involved in selling a boat. They are very knowledgeable and kept me informed of progress all the way through the process.

I recently bought and sold yachts through Ancasta.  In terms of our purchase, Ancasta were the only broker to actively engage with us during our year long search, despite contacting most of the leading brokers.  Lewis at Ancasta Dartmouth was particularly helpful in this regard, and brought a number of yachts to our attention.The sale, through Andy at Ancasta Salcombe, was seamlessly achieved, at full asking price.  We were kept fully informed throughout and were impressed by the professionalism and energy brought to the process.

Ship Registration getting it right.

If you are contemplating buying a boat overseas, understanding the minefield of flag registration can be daunting.

Unless you are dealing with flag registration daily, understanding your legal position as a boat owner can be confusing. Normally a boat owner never fully understands the limit of a particular flag registration. Get free advice from a Network Yacht Broker on avoiding registration problems.

Boats For Sale After Brexit

Changes To VAT Rules

Change to VAT rules happened when we left Europe. Most of the changes do not affect cruising holidays. However, If you are one of the lucky individuals who now live outside the EU but keeps a boat inside the EU, things have changed slightly. Understanding local interpretations is something your Network Yacht Broker can offer practical advice on.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...

“We have recently used Ross at Red Ensign, Plymouth for our boat sale. We had initially thought to use one of the larger brokerage operators but having discussed it with Ross we decided to go for his more personal approach.

We were not disappointed with a buyer being found and sale concluded in less than a month. Throughout Ross was incredibly attentive and always contactable. As we live someway from the boat he was always on hand to check on the boat and adjust warps fenders etc during gales. Ross is incredibly well networked in the marine industry and was able to give us the benefit of his experience and contacts to assist us in the next step of our sailing journey.

We have bought and sold many yachts over the years but this has been the best experience so far. We would wholeheartedly recommend his services.”

“I used Red Ensign to sell my boat and the service they gave was outstanding. They went way above and beyond what other brokers would do. The team are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and always on hand to give feedback or advice. They sold the boat quickly, got a great price and managed the sale process smoothly. I would not go anywhere else in future – just great professional guys!”

“Excellent service from start to finish. I have sold, and brought a yacht using this very professional company. Very knowledgeable, hard working, honest guys. Highly recommended, hassle free”

We bought our (new to us) boat from the team at Clipper in Swanwick. Ben and Steve couldn’t have been more helpful and thorough if they had tried. All the jobs identified on survey were done to a great standard and at a fair price. We took delivery of her yesterday, 2 days early, so have the weekend to get used to her and move our belongings on ready to sail away. Fantastic service from start to finish, this is our 8th boat and I cant recommend the team highly enough!!!

Well done Clipper and thanks again to Ben and Steve for making it so easy!

I have been dealing with Ben from Clipper Marine for several years and I must say I have never been disappointed with the results he brings. I placed a boat on the market with him recently and it was sold within a week with no input from myself, I thank you very much for this Ben. 100 % Satisfaction guaranteed

I have Just bought a Bavaria moored in Mallorca through Ben at Clipper Marine. Ben was very professional, helpful, friendly and made the whole process smooth. Big thank you to Clipper Marine. I thoroughly recommend them.

We have had a very positive experience selling our boat through Steve Gunn at Clipper Marine. He was calm, efficient and thoroughly professional. We’re very pleased with the outcome.

11 years after purchasing our Bavaria Cruiser 40 from Steve at Clipper we returned to sell her. Steve was extremely helpful, offered great advice and helped us sell our boat for an excellent price in a swift and stress free process. Can’t rate the service highly enough and would definitely recommend using Clipper Marine for your brokerage needs.

Really nice experience. The team at Clipper were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend them.

She is a beautiful boat, is now on her maiden cruise around Ireland and is admired by all. I can recommend all the Team at Clipper Marine as utterly professional, trustworthy and conscientious. There have been a number of snag issues which one expects with a new boat but James in Clipper has looked after each and every issue.

Have just sold our 2014 Bavaria 41 ‘Indulgence’ through clipper marine. Special thanks to Steve Gunn who handled the whole process effortlessly and professionally. Would recommend clipper marine to any prospective seller!

Barney Sandeman: A yacht broker’s view of yacht sales

Five grand and a tender: The yacht broker Barney Sandeman discusses his love of classics, and the way of yacht sales.

About barney.

If you didn’t know who Barney was, you’d mistake him for a surfer, with his long blonde hair, blue eyes, tan and laid-back apparel. If you’ve been around classics long enough, you’ll have come across him somewhere, either in Britain or at the big regattas, as he’s trodden the waterfronts of many a far-flung location, like the Antigua classic   or the French ‘voiles’. Despite the surfer looks, he’s a pretty big name in boat brokerage, and has sold hundreds of classics over the years, including some of the most famous yachts in the world, like Fife’s schooner Altair. His brokerage, Sandeman Yacht Company, is based in the pretty old part of Poole in Dorset, just a few hundred yards from the sea, and from the front, it looks like a nice, well-kept old shop. It’s home to Barney (literally – he lives above), and, in working hours, to his partner in crime, Iain McAllister, a yacht-obsessed Scotsman whose great grandfather raced in the America’s Cup in 1887 aboard Thistle .

Barney grew up in Dorset, racing Cadets, Lasers and more in Poole Harbour. Although not “tactically astute enough” (he smiles here) to race in the Olympics, he was in the squad once, and has won national and European championships. After A Levels in the early 80s, he “ran away to sea” as a deckhand on a large Swan and was in St Martin when Bob Dylan’s schooner Water Pearl sailed in. This was an era just before the classics scene had got going, and seeing “something natural” like that sail in made a real impression. And before that, his mother was friends with the then-owners of the Fred Parker motor yacht Caramba (recently restored and featured in this magazine), and to this day, Barney refuses to sneer at a motorboat – “if it’s a lovely boat, then you’re out on a lovely boat” is his take. After a spell working in his father’s advertising company, Barney decided that if he was going to sell something, it had better be something he loved, and this brought him back to sailing, and after five or six years as a yacht broker, he set up Sandeman Yacht Company in 2004, specifically to sell classic yachts .

Buying and selling yachts

By this point, the present day had arrived, and sailing had changed: the marinas, once forests of masts bustling with activity as families would load up their yachts on a Friday night for a long weekend of sailing, had become quiet lowlands of large, white motorboats. But on a brighter note, the classics scene was well underway. In most ways, not much has changed since then. It’s still “heart over mind.” In terms of buyers, Barney doesn’t see many time-wasters, apart from the occasional late-night, wine-fuelled email of enquiry. “You can’t talk someone into buying a classic. You’ve got to want one already – it’s almost like it’s in your genes. There are so many things that can stop someone buying. Circumstances, weather, the ability to afford it… buying a yacht is the ultimate luxury… so it takes a real momentum to get over the line. It takes a pretty special person.” The good news is that this moment of lunacy is seldom regretted. Even the man who, after a quick Day Skipper course and without any ownership experience, bought a 60ft, twin-engined Silver motor yacht from the 1950s and motored it from Livorno to Cyprus with his son – albeit helped by having boatbuilder Will Stirling on board.

Barney is equally moved by those selling what is, for them, a family member. Someone might have owned a yacht for half a century, and when that happens, it’s not the boat they’re selling; it’s the memories. Aside from the history and beauty of the boats and the great zeal of those buying them, there is a standard process to observe, which starts with a first visit to the boat by Barney and the potential buyer. Sandeman Yacht Company is signed up to the Association of Brokers and Yacht Agents ( ABYA ), the standard bearer, whose rules stipulate – among other things – that offers are made subject to survey and sea trial. This was a source of some irritation to the famous Italian character Mario Pirri, who from the 1970s owned the fabulous 70ft, 1930s Fife yawl Latifa. “If you’re sat in a bar and you see a beautiful woman, you don’t ask for a structural survey before you sleep with her,” he appealed. The survey, which took three of four days, was nevertheless completed and the boat was sold. 

It’s not all easy sailing. “Honestly,” Barney sighs with a smile. “If I ever write a book, which no one will read, I’m calling it Five Grand and a Dinghy because every yacht sale seems to come down to the last £5,000 – and the tender!” Is it because the tender is a keepsake of a lost love, you might wonder? “No! It’s usually simpler than that. It’s like the light fittings in a house sale. I’ve had people spending more than £100k on a boat asking whether the outboard is included with the tender! There was one occasion where the owner spirited the tender away to the south of France after the sale. I had it brought back to the rightful owner – the new buyer – in a lorry!” 

If there’s one thing that upsets Barney, it’s the go-faster mania that has infected some classic fleets, particularly those racing under IRC, which frequently sport rules-friendly tall, high-aspect rigs, modern deck gear and sails of dubious colour. “We have a lot to learn from the car world,” he says. “If you turned up to Goodwood Revival in a Healey with a spoiler, you’d be laughed out of town. The irony is that on many of these suped-up yachts, you’ll see an old Beken photo below decks, showing what she looked like when launched. These modernised classics are in danger of losing the magic and just being slow, old boats. Keep them original, or as authentic as possible as they do in the Med under CIM rules, and they will be happier boats. They will sing, and people will be inspired, and stop to gaze when they see them.”

New owners at the helm as director of Island’s oldest shipyard business retires

JERSEY’S oldest shipyard and boat brokerage has been sold to another maritime company hoping to create the Channel Islands’ “premier full-service marine centre”.

South Pier Marine – established in 1926 – has been bought by Reconvene Marine, which has also acquired PC Boat Sales.

After nearly 16 years at the helm, South Pier director Bob Wood is retiring, while his son Nick will be moving to a part-time role with a focus on boat sales after he has returned from his upcoming paternity leave.

Among those leading the new enterprise will be Paul Caunce, who started his career at the shipyard in 1995 and later went on to found PC Boat Sales.

In a statement, the Reconvene Marine said it wants to create “the Channel Islands’ premier full-service marine centre”.

The statement continued: “Paul intends to place the customer experience at the heart of the business as we approach the 100 year anniversary of the South Pier shipyard.

“The team is committed to continuing this legacy and upholding the Island’s proud marine heritage.

“The team of 22 people look forward to welcoming customers old and new at the Barclay’s Jersey Boat Show on 4-6 May where we’ll be displaying over 15 new boats, and the team will be on hand to answer any questions.”
