“Working with Williams & Smithells was an absolute pleasure in the purchase of my boat in Greece.  Buying a boat so far from my home base in California could have been a daunting experience, but their knowledge, professionalism and commitment to everyone understanding the reality of a purchase in a foreign country was invaluable. I would not hesitate for a moment to work with Williams & Smithells again” Ron Moler

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Williams and Smithells.  I received a truly professional service from start to finish despite the very modest purchase price of the vessel. The Yacht was purchased whilst I was overseas with work and the assistance provided in coordinating surveys, lift outs and other requirements was very refreshing indeed. I would recommend Williams and Smithells to anybody looking to buy or sell a yacht and will certainly make them my first port of call when looking to upgrade in the future. Adam & Katherine Mercieca

Dear Mark, Stephen and Jonty    I would like to thank and congratulate you all in selling the boat in what was a remarkably short space of time, especially given the economic woes of the world and Greece. A great job. Feel free to use me as a reference if you wish.   Best regards     Michael Curlewis

I used Williams & Smithells to register my (new to me) yacht in the UK, and I found them to be quick, efficient, and honest.  Being an overseas customer I had to rely 100% on their expertise. They handled all matters with great professionalism, and I won’t hesitate to use their services again in the future.

We just wanted to put in writing to you Stephen and thank you for all your help with finding our new home.  The time and advice you have given to us has been invaluable.  Nothing is too much trouble, all our questions and queries have been answered immediately and it has been a friendly and pleasurable experience buying our boat with your help.  And it continues after the sale with both you and Marks help with our SSR and insurance.

Thank you both very much for your efforts in getting us on the water as soon as possible.  Best wishes

I would like to express my appreciation of the manner in which Williams and Smithells handled the marketing and sale of my boat a Formosa 51.

The web site presentation was impressive and the marketing advice given was sound.

I  would particularly like to thank Mark Ellyatt for his efforts during sales negotiations.  His prompt response to queries was appreciated both by myself and the buyer, and rapidly established a feeling of mutual trust which had a direct bearing on the speedy conclusion of the sale.

I have no hesitation in recommending Williams and Smithells to any prospective buyer or seller of a yacht, and look forward to their assistance in the future for the purchase of a smaller replacement boat.

Thanks for all your help Mark.

I researched how to sell my yacht which is currently located in Greece and chose Williams and Smithells to be my agent in Greece for a number of reasons.

They are British based with a long history and good reputation. All dealings and contracts on the sale of the yacht are under British law. I was also impressed by your thoroughness in checking out my documentation on Alfresco and her specifications. I realised that this thoroughness reflects well on your organisation and would be of great comfort to any buyer of Alfresco.

Thank you again for your help.

Thank you all very much for your time and patience on this one. I appreciate the fact you had to work  harder to get this one to move with re-marketing, but we got there in the end. Very good news and she is now in the hands of a good new owner.

Thanks once again and all the best for the future.

Kind regards,  Patrick

Happy customers from 2006 would like to congratulate Williams & Smithells on a very nice looking, easy to navigate, and comprehensive website. Well done.  Per 2011

Hello Mark,

Your service has been first class and well beyond the call of duty in the promptitude of your responses – I could not have wished for more in dealing with my sometimes excessive requests for information, answered always promptly and courteously.

In short, you successfully achieved what I thought may have been a difficult task, because of my location, with clear and friendly information that reassured me enormously.

I am active on a number of sailing fora, especially on registration themes due to my dissatisfaction with what. I shall have no hesitation in recommending your services when continuing to contribute to any threads on that subject.

Kind regards, Brian.
