The Directors Sue Reader & Simon Reader lead a team of 10 experienced and dedicated staff who can undertake all types of brokerage, boat repairs, engineering work, osmosis treatment, spraying and general maintenance to a very high standard. For all your boating needs and advice, please visit your friendly boatyard for yourself where there is ample free car parking for all customers.

Our brokerage office is a thriving operation that deals with with a large turnover of previously owned boats. This is an integral and valued part of the service the boatyard gives to members of the public and existing customers alike. When a customer puts their boat for sale with the Retreat Boatyard, they get first class advice and guidance with an experienced broker on hand to guide and advise all the steps of the way.

Our boats for sale are advertised in the yachting press each month and most sell very quickly, especially those presented ashore in the yard in a good clean condition. Bills of Sale, re-registration, finances are all undertaken by the broker acting on behalf of the vendor and we hold a list of surveyors who are registered by the (YBDSA), Yacht Broker, Designers & Surveyors Association.
