Bought Beneteau 50 Helle & Jan, Denmark

Monday, August 15th, 2011

“For almost  1½ year we have been looking for the right boat all over Europe and have send a lot of emails to brokers, but have only had few answers…

W & S did answer fast, honest and seriously, to all our questions.

It’s our first boat and we had our considerations buying a boat in Greece, but without reason.. after our meeting in Lefkas with Stephen from W & S we didn’t doubt that it, he is serious and  very professional broker.

We give our best recommendation to Mark, Jonty and Stephen from Williams & Smithells Ltd.

Sold Moody 425 – Hilde Frank

I chose you in the first place, because you were the  only broker I had contact with who obviously really actively marketed the yacht and did not give me the impression of just waiting until somebody came along to buy just this one and only boat. Your questions and suggestions were clear as well as the answers and always very prompt, within hours actually, which made dealing with you a pleasure. I can only thoroughly recommend your brokerage!

I would like to thank the staff at William and Smithells for their friendly yet professional service. My recent yacht purchase was made pleasant and stress free thanks to the efforts of yourself and Steven.

Sold Tradewind 33 – Bill Morgan

Monday, August 15th, 2011

It was like the breath of spring dealing with Jonty and yourself .   Your set up organisation was excellent and I feel sure that If Ambler had been marketed by Williams and Smithells from the outset she would have sold at a considerably higher price .  The good news about your set up is that you are on the spot in a well established boat yard with first class operators.  Need I say more !!

British Registration Service – Part 1 Registration – Stefano Pontesilli

Monday, August 15th, 2011

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.

Peter Smart & Tricia Geary – Sold 60ft Steel Yacht

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

“Ten years ago Williams & Smithells helped us to find and buy our steel ketch in Greece when we lived in England.  This year we had no hesitation in choosing W&S to sell the boat, now in Turkey while we are based in France, and a sale has been smoothly and speedily achieved.  In both purchase and sale, W&S’s international knowledge and connections have been invaluable.”

We do sincerely thank you, especially Mark, for all your hard work, your cheerful manner and for taking the trouble to telephone us when necessary - and also your patience when negotiating

‘ I have found that dealing with Williams & Smithells both in Greece and Portchester, to be a seamless bordering on enjoyable experience. The staff are warm, friendly and efficient, with every request for advice or help, dealt with promptly, in fact they have completely exceeded my expectations.
This is the first time I have purchased a boat and with Williams & Smithells knowledge and commitment I know that if at anytime in the future I need to buy or sell again where my first port of call will be. Well done.’

I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you for all your support and professionalism to make it happen. You helped me building trust and confidence and your answers to my countless questions were always up to the point.

Additional , I also appreciate that you did take the VAT issue in charge and helped me here as well. Again, a big Thank You for all your support.
