Spencer Markatos

We just wanted to reach out about our recent experience with purchasing a yacht through Denison Yacht Sales. Bottom line: it could not have went much better. Your yacht broker, Spencer Markatos, was very helpful throughout the process.

We made contact with Spencer back in January and we started talking about the yacht that we ended up buying. But we also looked at several others not only to compare pricing, but we got the feeling that he wanted to make sure it was the boat was the right one for us.

We would certainly give Denison Yacht Sales a very good recommendation to anyone who might be looking to buy a new yacht. Thank you very much  

I have had the pleasure of knowing Spencer Markatos for over ten years. During this period of time, Spencer has worked with me on the purchase/sale of five boats ranging in size from 16’ to 61’. My wife, Cindy, and I first met Spencer at the Fort Lauderdale boat show. Since our first meeting, Spencer has maintained an ongoing channel of communication without interruption. In my opinion, that is a trait of a professional in any sales related occupation. Spencer is attentive, without being overly aggressive. Our frequent conversations always include questions regarding my satisfaction with my current boats. He wants to be there if and when my needs or desires for a different boat arises. Both My wife and I consider him an excellent sales person as well as a friend. I would not consider purchasing another boat without first consulting with Spencer.

Buying a boat is a special time and a difficult time. Nothing replaces a guy you can trust. It takes someone who has been around boating for a long time and knows the industry. It is so helpful to have a guy that knows what to look for not only in the boat itself but what you need in a boat. If you are an avid fisherman who will put on a lot of hours and needs speed or if you are an occasional cruiser, the right boat for you could be very different and the related cost could be more than you think. Spencer Markatos is a guy I have known in the industry for years and you can count on him. More importantly, you can trust him. Spencer is not there just to sell you a boat. He is there to build a relationship based on trust. He also knows he is not going to sell you every boat, but when he has the right one you can count on the fact that he knows from experience. When it is real estate, it is all about location.  When it comes to a boat, it is all about trust. You can count on Spencer for the trust factor every time!

My buying experience with Spencer Markatos was excellent. This was my first foray into offshore boating so I needed much advice. Spencer educated me, steered me away from some deals that were too good to be true and placed me in a Sabre 38SE that my wife and I are extremely pleased with. If I was trading up, I would go back to Spencer.

For several years, I have bought and sold many boats through Spencer Markatos. His experience, knowledge, persistence, and integrity have always brought successful results. His large network of clients, friends, surveyors, captains, service techs and facilities have always proved to be invaluable. Add to all this a quick wit and a great sense of humor and you have yourself a great experience.
