Boat Sale Testimonials

“MG 335 Amigos - Spring Sale”

Just completed purchase of Amigos from Andy at Foundry Reach and for the first time in many boat purchases had a hassle and stress free buying experience.

When you deal with Andy you get ‘what it says on the tin’, a personal and effective service that above all delivers, a rare occurrence in today’s world.

Having dealt with many brokerages over the years I found that I usually ended up doing most of the chasing, not so with Foundry Reach where timely updates were regularly provided on the purchase process.

My recommendation is that whether you are buying or selling, contacting Andy at Foundry Reach will probably pay dividends in terms of getting a result for your boating needs.

I will certainly be using him again!

“Sale of Vivacity 650 to Thailand”

Andy Ladds at Foundry Reach was recommended to me by a friend who has also sold and bought his boats through Andy and Foundry Reach.  Andy came to see my boat promptly and gave me useful advice on how to show it off to it's best potential.  Andy gave me a clear and reassuring account of how he will market my boat and be the in-between man between buyers and me.  Andy put my advert on the Foundry Reach and other advertising websites quickly and within a few months the boat was sold.  Andy took charge of everything, which was very reassuring.  Foundry Reach's help and service was fantastic and I am very glad I had my boat placed with them.
Many thanks.
 
 
Thank you Andy,

Maddy

Sale of the Maurice Griffiths Tidewater 30, 'Tidewitch'

I would like to recommend Andy Ladds at Foundry Reach. Andy recently handled the sale of my father’s Maurice Griffiths Tidewater on behalf of his estate.

Andy’s enthusiasm for the yacht was evident from our first meeting and his confident and knowledgeable approach helped set a realistic price point and ensured a swift sale toward the end of the season.

All paperwork was dealt with swiftly and efficiently and funds transferred promptly.I have no hesitation in recommending Foundry Reach and welcomed their advice and guidance.

“Friendly, Professional and Knowledgeable Approach”

We first met Andy Ladds in 2010 when we purchased a yacht through a brokerage where Andy freelanced. He then sailed it back to Felixstowe with us.

My wife and I were very impressed by Andy's friendly, professional and knowledgeable approach in handling the necessary paperwork and also his excellent sailing ability! We were therefore very pleased to hear that he started his own brokerage around the time that we were looking to sell our yacht and purchase something larger.

We had no hesitation in letting Andy handle the sale for us - his experience and sensible advice resulted in a purchaser being found without delay, Andy handled the sale very efficiently, taking care of everything whilst keeping us fully informed at all times.  

We have no hesitation in recommending the services of Foundry Reach.

“His common sense advice paid dividends in that a buyer was quickly found”

When I bought Baruch (a She 27) through Andy a couple of seasons ago I was impressed with his honest approach to the business of selling boats. It was clear that he knew what he was talking about and that gave me the confidence to buy. When it was time to sell the boat I didn’t need any persuading to contact him to discuss not only the price but the all too important matter of how the boat should be presented to achieve a sale within the shortest timeframe. His common sense advice paid dividends in that a buyer was quickly found, Andy nurtured the buyer’s interest and a fair price agreed which led to a swift sale. I thoroughly recommend Andy to all those contemplating a boat sale.

“You won't get a better, more personal service”

I have used Andy Ladds services for both the sale and purchase of sailing yachts. Andy sailed my Trapper 501 up from Eastbourne to Walton on the Naze, Essex, undertook various hull treatments at a reasonable cost and quickly sold the boat - both the new owner and seller were very pleased with the service. Andy also sold me a Dufour 30 and project managed various tasks including hull copper treatment, re-rigging, engine maintenance etc. The service provided has been exemplary - very much a can do service, Andy keeps things straight forward and makes problems go away, costs are fair and reasonable. I would recommend Foundry Reach - you won't get a better more personal service.
