Jeff Sorgen

It is with great satisfaction that I express my sincere thanks for all of Jeff's assistance with the purchase of my new yacht.

As a lifelong business person, fulfilling functions from salesman to CEO of several companies, I have grown to recognize merit among both colleagues and employees. Should this process have been an examination of integrity, honesty, humility, and professionalism, you would have earned an A+!

Admittedly, it is very rare that I engage in such letters of recommendation, as this comes unsolicited. Moving forward, I am certain there will be questions which will arise, and Jeff will continue to be my “consultant" on such related topics. Further, it will be my pleasure to make personal referrals and introductions of individuals who make inquiry of my experience with both Denison Yachting and Jeff Sorgan!

You will continue to have my support!

As the Irish saying goes, “May the wind be at your back!”

I wanted to thank Jeff for all the great work he did in selling my beautiful boat. He went above and beyond in helping me. Not only did he connect me with great teams of people, but he also found my catamaran dockage while it was being sold. Jeff made selling my boat very easy. His honesty and integrity throughout this were so appreciated and refreshing. If a recommendation is ever needed to sell someone else’s pride and joy as he did mine, I am happy to have them contact me.

Jeff Sorgen assisted me every step of the way in the purchase of my 1998 Sea Ray 56 Sedan Bridge. He met me promptly for the initial viewing and was candid and informative. We had numerous conversations about the boat prior to my offer and he guided me through each step. Jeff was the consummate professional at every step of the process. His guidance and knowledge led me to what I believe is the perfect match for my home and my life. I would not hesitate to utilize Jeff again and highly recommend him to anyone shopping for a new or pre-owned vessel.

Jeff Sorgen was the yacht broker who sold my Catalina MKII, a 40-foot sailboat. He hired a captain to move the boat from Sarasota (where I kept the boat) to Ft. Lauderdale where there are many more buyers for this size boat. Jeff also arranged a private dock close to his office at Denison Yachting where the boat was docked at a third of the cost of keeping the boat at a marina in the area. Although the boat was in good condition and presented itself well, Jeff found some deferred maintenance which he and his contractors eliminated.

After the boat was in marketable condition, he put the boat on the market with a very thorough listing-detailed information and great pictures. He arranged a person to wash the topside and another person to clean the bottom when needed to keep it in marketable condition. Jeff advertised the boat, found the buyer and closed the transaction at a fair price to both the seller and the buyer in a matter of weeks. Jeff knows and loves boats and the business of selling them. He is a knowledgeable, experienced professional. I found Jeff to be an advisor, straight shooter and very responsive. He kept me regularly updated and was very easy to work with. As a truly professional yacht broker, Jeff is the best of the best.

Jeff Sorgen was my yacht broker when I decided to sell my 53’ Amel Super Maramu sailing ketch. This boat is one primarily designed to sail around the world and, consequently, has a limited appeal to the majority of sailboat buyers making it difficult to sell. Jeff brought a wealth of knowledge not just specific to my boat, but to the world of boating in general. Jeff was also extremely helpful in locating a private dock at a reasonable cost where I could leave my boat safely given that I live 3,000 miles away from Fort Lauderdale. Furthermore, he was able to find a maintenance person qualified to look after my boat on a monthly basis. This last item was crucial for me as my boat is loaded with complicated and sophisticated systems that need to be fired up on a frequent basis to ensure they remain operational for prospective buyers. Jeff also arranged to have the boat interior re-arranged to ensure it showed in the best possible light. At one point his team did a video walk-through of the boat which showed it in the best possible light for on-line viewers. Jeff continually highlighted my boat in online advertising to make sure it got maximum exposure to potential buyers. I would highly recommend Jeff if you are looking for a yacht broker to sell your boat. He stayed with my boat and was able to find the perfect buyer for my sailing yacht. I was at one time prepared to advertise a lower price just to get rid of the boat, but Jeff provided guidance on the best pricing to get the best response from potential buyers. I feel confident recommending Jeff as an excellent choice to ensure you get the maximum sale price for your boat. He made the eventual sale a very happy day, indeed
