“The Waterside Marine Sales team of James and Lynne, provided me an excellent service during this procedure, I'd not experienced before. James suggested he knew nothing about yachts, more a motor cruiser salesman, but having sold me one, and then sold one for me, he demonstrated a convincing knowledge and understanding of the yacht world. Thanks again, Nick Poole.”
