Testimonials

At Blackrock Yachting and Network Yacht Brokers Brighton & Chichester we offer unrivalled customer service and expertise every step of the way whether you’re buying or selling, but don’t take our word for it, here are just a few recent thank you’s we’ve received from our customers:

Dear Simon,
Boue Dessous has probably exceeded our expectations!  We managed to put her together with only a few errors.  I have already had two short single handed sails in the river as well as our first passage, with Julie, to St. Mawes  for lunch on Saturday and double reefed off Manacle Point (SW wind!) on Sunday on F 4 with gusts to F5 ( another friend’s yacht reported!).  In the lee of the Lizard of course but only a couple of waves over the foredeck and nothing in the cockpit.  On both days had the lee rails just under so am glad I can now easily reef her.  In light airs she is handier than our Mirror only faster and infinitely more comfortable, no bent back and wet feet!  The engine works perfectly.  She really is lovely and very well looked after by Keith and Sue, we only hope that we can continue to care for her as well.

All in all, we feel very fortunate, not only to have acquired a well found and, for the time, being particularly suitable craft for our situation but having had such a remarkably painless “purchasing experience”.  This particularly after our aborted and expensive attempt to buy a larger craft three years ago through a very large broker!  With grateful thanks to you Simon and Matt as well as Boue dessous previous owners, Keith and Sue, for making the process so painless and pleasurable.

Hi Simon,
sorry I missed you last week before we set sail.
Arrived home on the Clyde on Monday evening after an eventful journey, seriously high winds in the channel on Friday afternoon saw the boat contend with F8 touching 9 winds without sustaining any damage other than the loss of the transom seat which washed overboard, a bit hairy at times but fun……. I think?

I would like to thank you again for all your help in resolving the unforeseen issues that cropped both during and after the sale, it made life so much easier for me and it was greatly appreciated.

Good luck for the future,

Alan

Simon,
It has been a pleasure working with you, your company is lucky to have you. We hope to keep in touch

Best Wishes
Nigel & Liz

Hi Bob

We both had an excellent day yesterday and thanks once again for making the whole experience of buying a boat so enjoyable and pain-free.   Richard was really helpful too and we have swapped details in case we have any questions and just to keep in touch.  Thank you also for your offer of help should we have any problems or questions in the future.  We “played” with Sagitaire for the rest of the afternoon very happily and see much “messing around in boats” ahead.

We look forward to seeing you around the marina and will drop in say “hi”.

Kind Regards,
Anne and Peter
