About Neil Chapman

Boatshed Neil: Founder

  • Neil is a lifelong sailor. Many of Boatshed’s systems are shaped by time spent on the water, not in a boardroom.
  • He founded Boatshed in 1999 to bring transparency to the marine sector and to use technology to support better brokerage.
  • The platform is now franchised and licensed across 16 countries.
  • Boatshed is privately owned and has never taken outside investment.
  • Small UK and USA based teams run clear, standardised processes, supported by disciplined use of technology and AI.
  • Technology carries the operational load. Experience, judgement and professional skill close the gap.
  • BoatshedLabs.com is where the next 25 years are being built.

A Lifelong Passion for Sailing
Neil's love for sailing and boats was not just a pastime but a defining part of his life. His sailing adventures began in 1994 with "Kymouthoe," an old plywood 21-foot sloop. (see picture above). Despite its age and quirks, this boat was Neil's gateway to numerous voyages along the UK and Irish coasts.
In 1996, he upgraded to "Supertaff," a 1976 Rebel 41 ketch. He still owns and sails Supertaff today.
