E-mail received 30/04/2022 

I feel that the kindness of Brian & Jason of your sales department should be noted. In early March traveling in narrowboat "JOLLIE" from Tattenhall Marina to New Mills Marina, in rather dreadfull weather. The centerline splice parted, & on the muddy towpath, falling I sustained a shoulder injury. Unable to proceed down through the lock to rest up, my companion elicited help from Venetian, the two gentlemen noted agreed to help after their shift ended. This they did, refusing to accept any remuneration. Now back in the U.S. I must express my sincere thanks.   Kind Regards,

Received from the owner of N/B Pegasus

01/03/2022

The owners of Pegasus contacted our office for a free no obligation valuation, after taking some initial details, Zoe, visited the boat and offered both a cash and brokerage valuation. The owners opted for our no hassle, quick turn around cash option and within a week the deal was concluded. Read below for their feedback:

Morning Zoe,

You made a very emotional and difficult time for us as a family very smooth.
We thank you so much for your smooth and efficient service during this difficult time. You communicated with us all the way through the process. 
Everybody i spoke to were friendly and helpful.
I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking to sell or purchase a boat in the future.

Thank you for making this emotional journey so smooth.

Look forward to visiting the marina on our travels.  

Kind regards  
Jackie

Bryan Hi!  

I'm just getting over a hectic couple of weeks and reflecting on all that's happened.

In particular, of course, is letting go of 'Adagio'. 

Thanks very much for your straightforward, up front manner in outlining my options; allowing me time to consider them; and the prompt settlement once I decided to sell to Venetian Marina.  I really appreciate not having  been pressured and your assistance during the final clear out.  

With best wishes,  

John Mawson

Vendor of N/B Thorin

I decided to sell my narrowboat , moored at Whixall , in January as I didn't use it enough. I contacted Venetian Marina and Zoe came and met me at Grindley Brook to value it for me. However before I had a chance to move it the Covid curse struck! I eventually got it to Venetian on June 18th, a prospective buyer had it surveyed on August 20th and within the week the sale was completed. An excellent service under extremely testing circumstances.

Thanks to all at Venetian especially Zoe Sandland.

“Spring Dew Testimonial for Venetian Marina   We are very pleased to recommend Venetian Marina brokerage to future customers. It was clear from the outset that VM knew what they were about, from the initial valuation by Zoe right up to the point of sale. In our case we were selling a syndicate boat but VM had the experience to handle it.  Thom and other  staff always responded promptly to our enquiries and kept us informed of progress. In our case our boat was placed on brokerage in late November and was sold -for a good price - by early February . Our cheque was in the bank almost immediately.VM commission was very reasonable.  All in all a very smooth and successful business.  Thanks!

Good morning everyone.

I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent advice and support helping us through the selling process of our boat.

Please give the new owners Summer of 82 our best wishes for many happy years sailing. Also, we would like to say that if we are ever asked, we will definitely recommend Venetian Marina and it’s staff.  

Kind regards to you all and all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

6th August 2019  Sale of brokerage boat  Jonadab

From: Chris & Joan Dearnley

"We have been delighted at the speed with which our boat has been sold by Venetian Marina. The ability to track the activity on-line, was a real eye-opener and demonstrated to us the professional nature of your operation. By the end of the process, 3238 emails emails had been sent to matching customers, the boat’s details had been viewed on-line 2978 times and there had been 14 actual visits to the boat! Had we decided to sell the boat privately, we could not possibly have approached these levels. By the end of the first week we had a buyer and through a number of telephone calls with Ben, we quickly arrived at an agreed price. Quite amazing!"

Cash purchase of N/B Days of Elijah

From: David Brennand
To:Zoe Sandland

Dear Zoe,

It's a pleasure to send you personally an email to say thanks for, not just the deal we made with you recently but the manner of it's making.As you know, you turned up at our marina where "Days of Elijah " was moored, on time and on date. You got straight on with examining the boat, asked all the questions that needed to be asked. You kept your promise to get back in touch later that day with a valuation of the boat if you handled the sale and a cash offer if that was our preference. By the time we allowed for brokerage costs, CTC licence refund, insurance refund, mooring costs, costs of moving the boat to you, it became a no-brainer for us. Within a mere ten days from first meeting you to money in full into our bank, the deal was complete and the worry of a lovely boat that we couldn't now properly care for was over to you.

Well done, Zoe and Venetian marina. 

Every Blessing and good wishes from David and Carole Brennand

13th October 2018 Sale of brokerage boat Delamere 

From: Martin & Ruth Daly
To: Venetian Marina Sales

We have recently sold a Narrow Boat and purchased a larger replacement boat through Venetian Brokerage. We cannot recommend Venetian highly enough. They offered a professional service as we sold and bought, but at the same time were personable, welcoming and always willing and available to offer advice and support as needed. They even provided a lift back to our home Marina when we delivered our first boat to them to go on sale! We are looking forward to many years cruising on our new boat, but if the time ever comes to sell again we would return to Venetian without fail.

2nd December 2016 Narrowboat 'Aurthora' 

We decided to sell our 55ft narrow boat ’Aurthora’  in September 2016. Within several days of contacting Venetian Marina they came to inspect and at the same time give us a valuation of our boat. We were happy with the outcome and decided to give them the brokerage to sell our boat, and we delivered it to their Marina in seven days. They inserted it on their web page and before they had even printed the detail sheets, an offer of the asking price had been made and excepted by us. There was a slight delay waiting for a slot in the dry dock for a survey, but understandably nothing can be done about that. Within two days of the purchaser receiving the surveyors report he had transferred his funds to the Marina and in turn a day later we received our money into our bank. We were very impressed by a most satisfactory, stress free and smooth professional sale by the staff at Venetian Marina.   R.W.Hughes.

Hi there,  

Can i just say a Thank you to you all for putting up with us for the past few months whilst you had our boat on brokerage.   We would like to thank all of the Sales team for everything that they have done, David, Zoe and especially Lee who went out of his way on several occasions to help ourselves out when we struggled to get across.   At all times professional, accommodating and friendly and being able to have a laugh and a joke with clients and customers, which is a very hard balance to strike, but you all managed it. But never managed to get David his water wings!   You are all a testament to the saying 'perseverance pays off'   You are also a credit to your company and the boating community. in general.   I just hope we will have the money from the sale soon!   Take care chaps and unfortunately we will not see you soon as our boating days are now over.   You can edit this if you wish to display it in your sales office!  

Thank you all once again and take care.    

Kind Regards   Gary Sutton, Tracey Adams

Great Customer Testimonial from a Narrowboat PurchaserSince starting our brokerage in April 2012 at Venetian Marina in Cheshire (expanding from  Whilton Marina in Northamptonshire) we have sold 35 Narrowboats and counting! We have had many pleased customers and lots of letters, cards, chocolates and biscuits to say thank you! 

One of our cards and chocolates were from a Laurence and Franze who purchased Canal Boat 'Little Gem' in July 2012.  See a picture of the chocolates and card that they sent us.



In the card they wrote to us at the end of October 2012 saying this:

''Dear David and the team at Venitian Marine,A big thanks to you for being very helpful and professional.  CRT has now re instated the licence for little Gem and this is due to your very well detailed e-mail.  It has been a pleasure to buy 'Little Gem' at your marina and perhaps we will have the opportunity to come back.  For sure we will recommend you around.Very best wishes

Kind regards,

Laurence and Franze''
