Former owner of the 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition.
We sat down with owner of the 6000 Sport yacht Paul, to discuss his experience with the management we provided him previously here at Boating Partnerships.
“Overall, my experience with Boating partnerships comes down to two main aspects.
Firstly, I’m a relatively inexperienced boat owner so this was my first venture into the world of big boats, therefore I was fairly apprehensive about it all. However, I wanted this venture to be made purely from a lifestyle perspective. From that it was so great and handy for me to have Boating Partnerships on call whenever I needed. They answered all my questions such as “what does this button or light mean” or “wheres a good place to go on this day, in this wind”. To have that ability to make a call and be given an answer straight away, that for me was really critical.
The second aspect is regarding the fact that I lead a pretty busy lifestyle and don’t have a lot of spare time, so to be able to have the boat looked after constantly and consistently like it was one of their own boats, brought me a great sense of comfort.
Due to the relationships with contractors, every issue was fixed in the most efficient and beneficial way. For example, one of the main batteries failed, and it would take me on my own about a month to sort it out but Boating Partnerships sorted it out within 4 hours. The local knowledge and guidance provided to me also heightened my experience as they advised me on places to eat and the best fish to get ect. Had I been on my own, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my boat or the experience nearly enough as I have been with Boating Partnerships.
As well as that, the cleaning was also always very regular. No complaints, only praise. I never felt that we were overspending on things. The team always had my backing by running the whole service.
I asked early on in the process what the management fee was and I was told, trust me that is the best part of the whole experience. That it gave me the right to call you at any time of the day. The greatest example of this was on my sons boat you weren’t even managing My wife was having some trouble while I was away and you were down there in 20 minutes to take care of it without any issues. That was the moment I knew you guys ran a very special business, very bespoke, always focused on the customer, you deserve every success that you get. That’s simply how I feel about it.”
