Boatshed Port Solent.com has just “come of age” with the addition of a superb Atlantis 50 to their comprehensive collection of boats and yachts for sale. For sale at €599,950 she is the highest value yacht that the office has taken to the market since it was established in the spring of 2008.

“This yacht is the ultimate in luxurious refinement, with a pedigree performance to match” says Ian Dawes, Boatshed Port Solent.com owner.

The Atlantis 50 Ian is marketing has the largest engine option - Volvo Penta D12 775hp diesels, making her a top performer, capable of 30 knots plus, but allowing comfortable cruising on the plane at around the 20 knot mark. This particular yacht exudes class – from the teak cockpit floor to the stainless steel galley, from the beautifully finished en-suite heads compartments complete with curved shower cubicles and ultra modern bathroom fittings, to the truly massive electric sliding sun-roof.

“She is a little different from the first boat I sold – a 1968 Seadog ketch! I remember that boat very well indeed, she was a classic of her time, and of the 140 built there are still well over 100 in the owners association.”

The Boatshed Port Solent’s portfolio has included a very broad range of boats from the sale of a little old Trident 24 at £2100 to a rather smart twin-screw Hardy Commodore 36 which sold for over £100k!

Other boats currently for sale with Boatshed Port Solent include a nearly-new Bavaria 31 Cruiser and an immaculate ex-boat show twin-engined Falcon 27; 17 years old and still looking like new. Boatshedportsolent.com also has a Williams 285 Jet Rib for sale, a very convenient sports boat as there is no propeller or outboard to mess about with!

“One of my favourite sales through Boatshed Port Solent was a Bayliner 3388 which went to Norway.” comments Ian. “We had the systems and know-how to make the purchase and export as easy as it could be for the customer, who bought the boat without physically seeing it – he relied on our experience and integrity throughout, and he got himself a great boat!”

Ian goes on to echo the views of other Boatshed International Yacht Brokers –the market is lively and all offices are doing brisk business. He feels that the Boatshed philosophy is paying dividends – owners want their boats marketed pro-actively by agents and brokers who work hard on their behalf and our website showing up to 70 photographs and plenty of technical detail is only half the story. All viewings are accompanied by the broker who is a specialist in selling used boats. Owners and buyers know that we at Boatshed.com “tell it like it is” and all potential customers are treated on a personal level to the very best of service.

Mark, who recently sold his boat through Boatshed Port Solent, describes Ian as a very personable chap who works hard to get the sale through. He found selling his boat simple easy and convenient.

And a last word from Ian on the Atlantis 50; “I am immensely proud that Boatshed Port Solent have been asked to market this beauty – she represents the very best in our industry, and every time I step aboard I am reminded of why I love this job. It’s not a job, it’s a privilege!”
