Garet Wohl: 15/02/2022 (Contessa 32) It gives me great pleasure to recommend Elliot Jago of Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth for their competence and professional service. Not only was he very helpful during the purchase of my sailboat a few years ago, but he has since earned my renewed respect for providing valuable information. I would not hesitate to use his services again.
Jerome Satterthwaite: 04/01/2022 (Sadler 26) I first contacted Elliott Jago at Network, Plymouth, on 10 November asking him if he would sell our boat. He visited the boat a day or two later and inspected it carefully, taking notes and photographs which presented the boat accurately and in detail in a way that struck me would be very useful to potential buyers. Within days the description of the boat was on the Network pages; and almost at once, there were potential buyers showing genuine interest. 56 days later the boat has been sold, and the paperwork completed. Our experience of relying on Elliott at Network has been wholly satisfactory and also pleasant, friendly and helpful throughout. Thank you, Elliott and Network.
Neville Foster: 09/11/2021 (Hallberg Rassy 312) Sold a boat via Elliott very good service. Gave sound advice and achieved a full asking price offer. Best broker I’ve used by a long way.
Stephen Watkins: 15/06/2021 (Westerly Konsort) Fantastic service from start to finish, always helpful at every stage of the buying process. Elliot in particular guided me through each aspect of the buying process and nothing was too much trouble. Buying a boat can be a daunting experience but I cannot praise the service I received highly enough, many thanks.
Graham Scott: 23/09/2020 (Westerly Oceanlord 41) In 2009, I purchased ‘Nouchette’ a Westerly Oceanlord from Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth, Richmond Walk, Plymouth. Because of the friendly, efficient and professional manner with which my purchase was handled, I decided to use the company again to handle the sale of the vessel this year, 2020. Ill health and distance prevented me from being involved in the day to day management of the sale and the preparations/repairs that were necessary for the sale to go through. The object of this testimonial is to acknowledge the efforts of the staff at NYB, Mayflower Marina in finding a buyer and successfully completing the sale. In particular, I would like to thank Elliott who consistently went the extra mile in resolving the many issues involved in securing the sale. I honestly think that if it were not for his efforts ‘beyond the call’ in dealing with buyers and repairers; the sale would have been much more difficult, and may not have happened at all. Good luck to all at NYB, I wish you all the best for the future.
Ben Dodwell: 23/09/2020 (Bavaria 30 Cruiser) I can’t believe how quickly Elliott from Network yacht brokers sold our boat, after trying to sell our boat ourselves without much luck I gave it to Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth and they sold her within 4 weeks. I can’t thank them enough as it has given us the opportunity to move into a bigger boat now. Once again Thank you Elliott and the team at Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth for your excellent service, we shall be using you again!
Mrs Verity Hill: 29/08/2020 (Jeanneau Merry Fisher 755) We were looking for a specific type of vessel and spotted one at NYB Plymouth. We met with Elliott and he spent time showing us the boat and we knew it was for us. Elliott was really helpful and we couldn’t have wished for better assistance during the process. He was either at the end of the phone or responded to messages in a timely manner. In terms of arranging the lift for the survey and the lift to transport the vessel, Elliott organised all of that and liaised with the transport company when the boat was picked up. This is our first purchase of a vessel and Elliott really helped make it a good experience for us. We are delighted with the set NYB Plymouth gave us and special mention to Elliott for his part in the successful purchase and transfer of our Merry Fisher.
Major John Rooke: May 2017 (Prout Quest 33) Many thanks for your services in the sale of Busca. I wish the various agencies handling the sale of my cottage were as efficient.
I believe the Coopers will take care of the boat, which is almost as important as the money generated by the sale. I think the target price was realistic in the current financial climate.
To summarize; your advice on price was spot on., you found a buyer and the sale went through quickly so a job well done! Now all you need to do is find me a nice day boat for between £12 to £15k. If you catch me at Jolly Jacks I must buy you a drink.
Kestas Strakaus: November 2016 (Catalina Capri 26) I bought my yacht through Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth as my first introductory boat. I felt the sales process was dealt with very well and the staff were hugely important to help make this as easy as possible, so much so that now three years later we asked Network Plymouth to sell our boat for us. I can honestly say that the service was every bit as good if not better than when we purchased the boat. Thank you Elliott & Marcus for making this process as simple as possible, we will be looking for our next boat using you guys again. Thank you!
Tim Butler: October 2016 (Dufour 365 Grand Large) A wholeheartedly thank you to Elliott, you gave great service to me & my family who were selling our cherished yacht that we bought from new. It was a hard decision to let her go but you made this as painless as possible and despite the boat being moored on the River Yam you were able to take care of viewing etc as promptly as ever. If we decide to dip our toe in the water again in the future we know who to come and see.
Des & Russ: October 2016 (Dufour 365 Grand Large) We would like to thank Network Plymouth for helping us purchase our yacht, despite us being in Cardiff & the boat being on a river mooring you accommodated us very well, you were very informative and had an excellent knowledge of the boat, which certainly put our minds at rest with some queries that we had. We are very happy and cannot wait to get the boat back to Cardiff with the skipper that you recommended.
Maureen Hemingsley August 2016 (Broom 37) A big thank you to Elliott, you were very reliable and kept me up to date throughout the different stages when selling my boat.
I asked that it be given more prominence and this was done without delay. I also asked for the price to be reduced and this was also done.
There were several prospective buyers all of whom turned out to be time-wasters. However, Elliott kept me informed throughout and worked hard to secure a sale.
Elliott also offered to start the engine and generally check on the boat as I found it difficult to get to Plymouth. I gratefully accepted this offer.
A buyer was found and I was grateful to the efforts of Network who secured the sale in a professional manner thank you Elliott.
Mr Adrian Long 12th January Purchaser (Cornish Shrimper 19)
“Dear Elliott, a short note to thank you for your attention and help in our purchase of the Cornish Shrimper, your response to my original enquiry was extremely prompt and attentive, and generally you ensured our purchase process went smoothly despite the distance we had to travel to conclude. Many thanks for all your help and we look forward to enjoying our new boat.”
Mr Jeremy Langton 06th January Vendor (Cornish Shrimper 19)
Mr John Taylor 07th January Vendor (Moody Eclipse 33)
Mr & Mrs O’Connor 20th August Vendor (Dufour 2800)
“Thank you Elliott.
This was the sale of a small boat towards the bottom of the market being sold because of my failing health. Despite this NYB handled the sale with the same attention that they might have paid to a much larger transaction. The fact that a sale was made midseason in the middle of a recession speaks for itself. Elliott even went the extra mile to ensure a post-survey figure was fair to both sides.
Mr & Mrs Williams 22nd August 2013 Purchaser (Moody 30)
Mr & Mrs Edwards 15th July 2013 Vendor (Moody 30)
“We were very impressed with your website which helped to sell the boat in the current recession. Thank you for all the advice given, and a very smooth transfer”.
Gary Duff 31st May 2013 Vendor (Tamar 2000)

“I found the whole process stressful due to the problems that we had, but you had no control over these and dealt with them extremely well! You were excellent when resolving the VAT issue which I commend you for, your service and dedication were excellent in difficult circumstances Thank you!
Mr & Mrs Williams 30th November 2012 – Purchaser (Hunter Legend 356)
“Elliott, we were really pleased with the speed at which you communicated with the vendor both at the offer stage and during the transaction, answering questions as and when they arose. You were professional in your dealings with us and did all you could to alleviate our concerns over the potential issues arising from the vendor’s paper title. We found you very personable and went the extra mile in liaising with the boatyard and helping identify potential people who might help us with our project. Would certainly recommend Network Plymouth. Many thanks for your help.”
Mr Gary Stone 17th September 2012 – Vendor (Fairline Mirage 29)

Jon Woolager & Julie Merriman 11th June 2012 – Purchasers (Jeanneau Sun 2000)
“It has been a pleasure purchasing our new boat through Network Yacht Brokers in Plymouth. Elliott took care of all the very many arrangements required between all parties. This included, perhaps most importantly, making sure that all of the paperwork was in order. We were kept informed throughout and this made the whole process easy and stress-free.”
Tim & Anne Whellock 8th June 2012 – Vendors (Jeanneau Sun 2000)
“We experienced a superb service with excellent sales advice. Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth kept us informed at all times, we were very pleased, thank you Charlotte & Elliott.”
Ben Stubbs 27th May 2012 – Purchaser (Omega 46)
“Excellent standard of communication, Elliott & Charlotte held an honest, open manner and were supportive throughout. They always made time for our concerns, we always knew where we were within the process and managed our uncertainties well! We were most impressed by your service which unusually combined a professional and personal approach, a rare thing these days! Gizmo has exceeded our expectations, thank you!”
Julian & Cath Kemp 18th May 2012 – Vendors (Jeanneau Prestige 36)

Trevor Dann 17th November 2011 – Purchaser (Fairline Turbo 36)
“We contacted Network Yacht Brokers who accommodated our viewing request at short notice and allowed us a thorough viewing of the boat. They were very helpful throughout the purchase process, thorough with paperwork and made efforts to assist with getting gear delivered, passing over keys etc. I would suggest Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth’s description and particulars were accurate and our purchase would have been worth the long trip based upon the description, and other brokers could do well to ensure similar honesty in describing boats in the manner Elliott and Charlotte at Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth have done.”
Peter Carter 17th November 2011 – Purchaser (Achillies 9M)
” We cannot thank you enough for your help in securing her, I hope you have many more successes in the boat market, as we were more than satisfied with the deal we struck, Good luck for the future!”
Gavin Crick 18th November 2011 – Purchasers (Aquastar 45)
“We found both Charlotte and Elliott very helpful in all aspects of the purchase. The viewing was professional and as it would be difficult for us to return easily; they gave us plenty of time onboard to view her thoroughly. Result: happy new owners. We are most happy to recommend their services.”
