When Danielle & I were looking for a boat we turned to Denison Yacht Sales on the internet. When I asked for more info on a specific boat, Brian was the first to respond by phoning me. I explained to him the kind of boat we were looking for and Brian started to look for the boat that would be of interest to us. We also submitted to him our own list of boats that we had seen on the internet and from there he lined up the visits of potential boats for us. He helped us in shortening our list as he was able through his connections and knowledge to eliminate the boats not worth looking at. We submitted a few offers through him and finally one was accepted, he found us very good surveyors and he dealt with all the paperwork. He was a great help also in guiding us when we were looking for a marina and facilities for boat repairs. Brian had the attitude we were looking in a broker. He was attentive to what we wanted and listened to us which made our first experience buying a boat less stressful. We would recommend him or would use him again.
Originally I listed my Beneteau sailboat with the in-house brokerage department of the charter company she was with in the Caribbean with little to no activity for well over a year. I moved the boat to Florida and listed it with Wiley Sharp. Wiley helped me every step of the way with organizing moorage, mechanics and detailers for the boat to get it in top shape to sell at its highest value. He and his team where enormous help to the buyer as well. The result - the boat sold in under 30 days! I give my highest recommendation for Wiley Sharp and his team to anyone seriously looking to sell their boat.
We couldn’t have asked for a better yacht broker than Denise George. I have been working in the marine business for over 30 years and when it came to selling my boat I picked Denise and was not disappointed. Denise’s knowledge and dedication to her profession is exemplary. She took care of every detail of the transaction in the utmost professional manner. It is obvious how much she loves her job and I want her to know how grateful my wife and I were. The only problem I had was that she sold my boat to fast! I will definitely use Denise for any future purchases and sales.
Working with Denise George as our yacht broker was a pleasurable and very smooth experience. We had excellent service from her on both the selling of our existing boat, and the much larger purchase of our new boat. She worked very hard in both scenarios, making it clear that her top priority was in meeting our needs and assuring that we were happy and well advised and informed. Denise proved to be very knowledgeable, professional, personable, trustworthy, patient, and intuitive -- really listening to what we were communicating about what we desired, culling out our mindsets, and meeting those needs.
We depended on Denise and trusted her fully, and she did not disappoint. She eliminated any stresses we may have thought we would have had in the purchase of a sailing yacht by taking care of all the physical arrangements (sea trial, the boatyard, etc.), Coast Guard Documentation, financial and official paperwork, and, most importantly, being available at every step to council and advise us. I would never hesitate to recommend Denise’s broker services to anyone – she is a wonderful partner to have in either your selling or purchasing needs, or both!
