The team at Boatshed.com are considering rewriting the words to a certain song as they really do like Mondays especially last Monday July 20th when the Boatshed.com Yacht Brokerage Group posted a record 24 boat sales in just one day!
The boats included a wide range of boats from a 16.5m Bruce Roberts Euro 1600 motor boat to a Hunter Duette sailing boat.

Neil Chapman the managing director of Boatshed.com commented " We can't put our finger on exactly why we had good boat sales last Monday, generally we have been very busy since the start of 2009 and we keep breaking our records month on month.

Boatshed.com put the success in part down to the availability online of a detailed description, inventory and upto 70 photos of each used motor boat or sailing yacht they have for sale. These are prepared by a broker or agent local to the boat and ensure that prospective buyers have a very good idea of what to expect before they even call for more information.
As the broker or agent is local to the boat and has been onboard they are able to give detailed, acurate information and also to advise on all aspects of the purchase, from help on finding a surveryor to a sailmaker and from somewhere to eat to someone to take a look at the engine.

Mandy Chapman also mentioned the effectiveness of their new agent scheme which has made it quicker and easier to train agents. "Our online training which won an award from the BMF this year has been a great help in getting agents up and running and this has contributed to the number of used boats we are selling at the moment.

For those wishing to buy a boat don't worry because Boatshed.com are replacing sold boats by listing numerous new ones from a White Shark 225 to sailing boats like a Mystere flyer and a Jeanneau Sun 2500, plus other boats for those who decide to take a couple years for extended sailing to combat the credit crunch they can choose from our numerous blue water cruisers.
