I recently purchased an NC9. I spoke to Mark White…at all times Mark was, factual, courteous and knowledgeable. he gave me the distinct impression of an honest customer-orientated broker, a rare commodity these days I am sad to say…I was very demanding…but Mark found the answer to every question without exception. I just wanted to say Mark made spending my money a pleasure! In business, it’s what I used to call the ‘Hot Chocolate’ feeling.
Dear After Sales Team, Just over 1 year ago I took delivery of my Merry Fisher 1095 ( 3 boats in 2 years from Sea Ventures), during which time she performed flawlessly. Nothing is too small for the team to maintain their exemplary service.
I’d just like to thank you for seeing us right through from the excitement of ordering and taking delivery of Zebedee nearly 7 years ago to providing a quick and smooth sale of her today. It has always been a pleasure to deal with you.
You have made our entry into the world of boat owning a lot simpler and far more enjoyable than I could ever of imagined possible. When we upgrade as no doubt we will be doing at some point, I would have no hesitation in renewing our relationship.
It was a fabulous day. Thanks for Tim and the Sea Ventures team, we are loving our Excess 11. (Post- attending the Excess Factory Tour Day 2024)
Hi Mark, you have done your industry proud. I have to say the professionalism shown by you and the firm has been exemplary and very much a pleasant surprise in a world where little effort and mediocrity is the norm. Thank you for all your hard work.

This was my first boat purchase, and Mark and Rob at Sea Ventures could not have been more helpful guiding me through the whole process, from initial viewings, through co-ordinating the survey and sea-trial, to being a very proud owner of a lovely motorboat (including a very thorough, and incredibly helpful, boat handover). A five-star experience throughout.
I purchased a used boat from Tom and the team 3 years ago and they made the process very smooth and were very knowledgeable and friendly, even going so far as to respond to a request 3 years later for some documentation.
Having purchased my boat through Sea Ventures it was the easy option to sell the boat through them. Chris and the team were totalky professional , the whole process was straight forward, would recommend
We reached out to Sea Ventures for input and assistance in changing our boat and found their extensive experience and product knowledge invaluable. From initial discussions and throughout all subsequent viewings, final boat selection, purchase, detailed handover and after sales they were patiently on hand at every point, providing all the help and support we needed. Their guidance as we finessed our requirements and eventually realised our objectives was invaluable. Our grateful thanks go out to Chris, Mark and Rob!Whether you are buying or selling, do speak to them as you'll NOT be disappointed!
I was interested in a boat for sale through Sea Ventures. I thought they handled the discussions excellently - even though I didn't buy the boat.When I came to sell mine I felt their expertise and professionalism would stand me in good stead and that proved to be the case.The boat was sesnibly priced, the negotiaitions well handled and they lost no time in settling the account and sending the balance. 'Great work all round...
We both purchased and sold through Sea Ventures and dealt entirely with Mark White. We were so impressed with the company and his handling of our purchase that we transported our vessel from Plymouth to Southampton because we knew Mark would get the sale deal done. Communication and attention to detail were second to none. It’s a shame I can’t give 6 stars.
A first rate business specialising in Jeanneau yachts. Last year they sold my Sun Odyssey within one day of its listing. This year I have purchased a Merry Fisher 855 through them. Although this time they were acting for the seller, they could not have been more efficient. Mark White their broker was especially helpful after my purchase in getting jobs done locally in Swanwick and in assisting with onward shipment. I recommend them highly.
Really happy with my experience of SeaVentures/Atlantic Yachts as both a buyer and seller. I bought my used Merry Fisher 795 from them in 2018 and they sold it for me recently. Both times the service has been very professional and personal, no hiccups, nothing unexpected, and a good outcome both times. I think they are price competitive and worth spending the money as a seller to do a professional job of marketing the boat and dealing with potential buyers.We dealt with Mark White in Hamble on the purchase and Chris Atterton in Dartmouth on the sale - both of them were excellent.
Found the recent purchase of our Merry Fisher extremely straight forward. Chris was very helpful and communication was superb from start to finish.
Very efficient and honest assistance with boat purchase, thanks to Nick and the rest of the team!
I had a couple of issues with my nearly new Merry Fisher 795 Series II that I had recently purchased. The service I received from Sea Ventures was superb. I would highly recommend them. Special thanks to Andy in the warranty department.
Tim and all the Seaventures team are excellent - best in the business. I've been a customer since 2014 and in all our dealings they've been very efficient, professional and always willing to go that extra distance to help. Thanks again Seaventures!
Sea Ventures has been fantastic. Special thanks to Tim Harley for ensuring that the whole process including comissioning, sea trials, some aftermarket additions and registration was all seamless.
We have been very impressed with the professional service provided by Sea Ventures / Atlantic Yachts, and Chris at Noss Marina, Dartmouth, in particular. He couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.
Purchased an Excess 11 Catamaran from Tim at Sea Ventures in spring 2024. At no time felt pressured in any way. We took our time considering the many options. Was able to speak to a couple of Excess owners in person who had purchased their boats from Sea Ventures who could not have been more positive about their experiences. In the end we were looking at a used vs new boat and was pleasantly surprised to be able to move forward with our purchase of a new boat, after a little friendly negotiation.After sales service has been impeccable, with nothing too much trouble to ensure the boat is 100%. I have no conflict of interest, however am happy to be a reference.
Fantastic Journey from a Genuine Person.I recently purchased a new 895 through Kier at Sea Ventures. I cannot recommend him highly enough the whole process was smooth and easy.I've spent the past 12-18 months looking to buy a new boat and met countless "arrogant sales types". When I first met Kier the interaction was completely different it felt genuine from the moment I arrived at the boat show. He took the time to discuss the models, options and find find what would be the best fit for us. We agreed the deal late on a Sunday (sorry about keeping you late).Normally sales people fall over at this point and move onto the new customer.The experience couldn't have been any different I was kept thoroughly up to date with all developments and pictures along the preparation journey. He even gave up his morning to coat the boat with me before the big launch day.Following the sale he's been there every step of the way. We've had teething issues and he has personally been liasing with the team to make sure they are resolved quickly and with minimal interruption.If you are in the market for a boat the experience and integrity from Kier is second to none.
