#BOATS FOR SALE – In spite of the doom and gloom boats are still selling through Afloat and we've had a great testimonial from Crosshaven Boatyard of the Afloat boats for sale site.

 

Here's they're note which maybe of interest to those considering selling over the winter lay up period.

We felt that, we should send you a short note to say, congratulations on your new www.afloat.ie/boats-for-sale website.

We find it is easy, to load our brokerage boats on to your site and appreciate the fact that you also promote our adverts on both twitter and facebook. We also notice that you are working hard on getting excellent placement on Google and other search engines.

We often ask a new inquirer “where did you see the boat for sale?” A high percentage have confirmed, that they first saw the boat on your website. Which is excellent news for both Crosshaven Boatyard and Afloat.ie.

Keep up the good work.

Yours sincerely

Hugh Mockler & Donal McClement
