I’ve spent pretty much most of the summer cruising up and down the Thames on 'Feisty' excepting compliments on behalf of the boat. Even when surrounded by some spectacular gin palaces, the PTS still gets the attention, from three lock keepers as well, which has to be the ultimate accolade, I thank you and Statement Marine for that.

BTW the canopy curtains are a brilliant idea, as too the shower.

Happy vendor!

Buying an Andrews slipper launch

Thank you so much for your diligence, care and professionalism in response to my enquiries about an Andrews Slipper.

I enjoyed yesterday very much despite the weather and returned to London much informed of the realities of classic/traditional boat ownership.

Expert advice

Thank you for all your help and expert advice on the boats, it has been a pleasurable education and a battle of heads and hearts. I'm looking forward to getting a boat on the water this year after all.

Peter from Staines-upon-Thames (July 2021)

Thank you!

I just wanted to say how delighted we are with the boat. We've had several super days on the Thames, not going far but really enjoying it. As I think you may have noticed when we first met, I'm not a natural sailor but it's been great. Thanks also for negotiating the mooring.

Perrapin sold too soon !

I’ve been trawling through the year’s emails and discover to my abject horror, that I completely failed to thank you for all your help in conducting the sale of Perrapin for us.

We were heartbroken at parting with her as you know, and were fully expecting to have her for another season at least. But we had to part with her. So although the speed of the sale was a bit upsetting, the manner with which you conducted the sale was anything but. You managed to find in the Beales our ideal buyer. We have been in quite frequent correspondence with Robert and are quite sure Perrapin will go from strength to strength in their hands.

So a very big thank you from Sue and I for everything you did. We especially liked the listing you gave Perrapin on your website for the brief time it was up there.

Thank you for your support and guidance

We took possession of Zephyr on Thursday and had a short one hour trip out on the Broads on Saturday, we are thrilled to bits with her.

Just wanted to thank you, and Gail for your support and guidance through this whole process.

Sale of Carefree mid winter - words from a satisfied vendor

It seems that the funds have cleared already, so all seems to have gone very smoothly.

Thank you so much for making the whole process so easy and for finding such a good buyer!

Great work on marketing and closing the sale !

Firstly, thank you. I’m sure Andy and his wife will make many happy memories on the boat and great work on getting it to market and finding him / closing the deal. You’re fantastic at what you do.

Most impressed with your brokerage yesterday!

And what a pleasure it was. Most impressed with your brokerage yesterday. Not the usual set-up I have encountered, far more personal and good to speak to someone who really knows her product – I can see why you are successful.

Happy brokerage client

Absolutely LOVE the PTS24e !!

Thank you very much indeed. She is beautifully crafted and a fabulous boat. Congratulations to you on the whole team for creating such an incredible and beautiful craft.
