Call Boatshed Yorkshire with your enquiries on the contact details below.
This is me! I am the Boatshed Yorkshire broker - my name is Andrew Holmes - and I have had a lifelong interest in boats, the water and sailing.
I built a wooden sailing dinghy when I was 15 and managed to source the materials through my school woodwork class and I have never looked back. As a child, holidays were spent on the Norfolk broads, a part of the country I keep a close association with.
My business experience includes retail and internet commerce and I look forward to putting my knowledge into helping people buy and sell boats. The Boatshed Yorkshire office is part of the hugely successful Boatshed network and we are the only yacht brokers to personally visit and photograph every boat that we list. This gives confidence to both buyers and sellers that what they see is what they are going to get - no hidden surprises after making the 100 mile visit to see a vessel. I have over 50 boats for sale in Yorkshire-Hull, York, Whitby, Scarborough and Goole for example-and there are around 3000 available across the Boatshed network.
Please get in touch even if you are not sure what you are looking for or have a vague idea that you might want to sell your boat and despite the so called economic crisis we are selling record numbers of boats. I am always happy to talk through pros and cons of any craft and may well have some suggestions regarding possible solutions. And please take a look at the boats we have got listed - you didn't know you wanted a Converted Tugboat did you?!
Andrew Holmes - Boatshed Yorkshire
Despite the economic conditions boats are still selling well and if anything I am short of boats to sell. So if you are considering selling your boat please get in touch, it may be worth more than you think!
Most of my own boating is done in Yorkshire Belle, a Broom 32 moored on the Broads. We occasionally have a trip down the coast too from Yarmouth to Lowestoft which shortens the journey to Oulton Broad. I also race in the River Cruiser Class there, but have an Enterprise based at Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club where I did a fair amount of sail training this year.
In the Autumn I sailed on a Bavaria 40 from St Katherine's Dock to Hull via Felixtowe, Southwold and Lowestoft.
