“Thanks to John Keenan at Denison Yacht Sales we had the easiest major purchase of our lives. John found us a terrific boat and then guided through the purchase process.  He was at our side the whole way with gentile reminders, tips and hints that allowed us both to thoroughly enjoy “getting our boat”.

As he gradually put things into place our confidence in him removed any anxiety that usually accompanies major purchases.  We would strongly recommend that if you are looking for a yacht, you talk with John.”

“I would like to take a few minutes which is nothing compared to the many hours you have invested in believing in, marketing, showing, and selling our sailboat, ROOTS.

I have to mention that you always told me, and honestly represented to me and the buyers, about the changing market and the position of ROOTS in that market. You never counted the hours and always took the time to share and motivate myself.

I highly recommend you to any buyer or vendor, and have already referred a buyer to you, Ron Laramee, who has told me he is already very happy with your involvement in his boat search, and the experience you have demonstrated after looking at boats with you.

Yes, they say buying a boat is one of the best moments for a boat owner but I say it will also be a must to sell a boat with you. You were right, and always told me  ‘Michael,  I will sell your boat.’”

"Recently I concluded the purchase of my first personal sailing yacht with the help of Mr. Marek Skubala at Denison Yacht Brokerage of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The entire process was done without ever meeting Marek in person as I am in the West. He was the listing broker on one of the yachts offshore that I was interested in.

I found him to be extraordinarily forthright and forthcoming with all information and advice with regards to all aspects of the yacht purchase. He would often come up with comments, recommendations and conclusions that I had already in mind before I could express them. This gave me great confidence in his neutrality and objectiveness. Never did I feel pressured in anyway at anytime. We worked with me and the previous owner through a number of issues during the process and I thought his approach was always appropriate and thoughtful.

I recommend him highly to anyone seeking an honest, objective advocate in a sometimes complicated and confusing process."

“Being from out of state, I was concerned about using an unknown broker.  However, Justin did a great job.  From the initial showing through the sale, he represented all parties fairly and was very accommodating.

He is knowledgeable about the products and did his best to find answers quickly when he didn’t know them. Even after the sale, he continued to provide assistance and was always very responsive. I would highly recommend Justin Onofrietti for any powerboat sale.”

“Just to let you know that the original relationship building done by Nereus in Marina del Rey, California relay laid out a solid foundation for our business relationship. He is a really good operator and should be commended. A true gentleman and extremely rare in this day and age!

The Denison Yacht Reputation precedes our meeting as it is a solid foundation on which to build. Nevertheless, I have previously had some terribly bad business relationships which have seriously hurt me from companies who have been in business longer than Denison.

I was really glad to come across Nereus by chance and this feeling of trust was compounded when I met you and Justin. Especially in these times of GFC and recession, it can be difficult to initially establish, build and maintain a business relationship. Especially half way around the world.

I am really very happy that we have met and I feel hopeful we will continue to do business for quite some time. I am not sure it will be huge business (The Australian Market is not huge) but it should be enjoyable. Despite one or two setbacks (no one’s fault) Justin has persevered and remain professional and thorough throughout.

Over this time I believe I have developed a friendship with Justin and his efforts are really appreciated.

All I can really say is that you have a great team of professionals of the highest integrity within your organization. I could only wish that when I was in business, I had individuals of the same calibre but they are extremely hard to find.

A simple “Thank You” seems insignificant, yet in today’s world it is often spoken too little. I am really happy I have met you all and look forward to continuing firstly our new found friendship and secondly our business dealings.

It is clear to me that with the team and relationships you guys have, you cannot fail to succeed.”
