Ondeck, has announced an exclusive partnership with Boatshed, the largest yacht brokerage company in the world.

The relationship, which was announced at the recent Stanford Antigua Sailing Week, will see Boatshed locate its Antiguan business operations in Ondeck’s facilities, and see Ondeck become the company’s official training and boat tuition supplier in Antigua.

Ondeck runs a very successful Antiguan operation and is equipped to take complete beginners to seasoned sailors out on the water. The company is also renowned for its match racing, sail training and cruising charter events.

Commenting on the partnership, Sam Sainsbury, Commercial Manager at Ondeck, said: “We are delighted to be working with Boatshed in Antigua. They are a great, fresh company and we are looking forward to training members of the team and getting Boatshed involved in the many events and regattas we run in Antigua.”

Roger Bailey, Sales and Marketing Director at Boatshed, commented; "We are very excited about partnering with Ondeck and see our two companies as having a similar outlook on the world of boating. Together we can offer customers loads of great boats, training and chartering while continuing to expand our business in Antigua."

Boatshed is the only yacht brokerage company that actually visits and photographs every boat on its books. This "under the skin" approach to selling boats means that all registered users of the website (and there are now 200,000) can view every detail of any boat across the world from the comfort of a computer. With 65 offices across three continents, Boatshed continues to lead the way in technology, yacht sales and personal service.
