Paul Denton

I had been looking for a boat for a few months before I was introduced to Paul Denton Jr. and I will tell you that I had put all yacht brokers into the same category as a used car salesman. I was so disgusted by the way the first three brokers I was dealing with conducted business that I was just going to have to look for boats that were for sale by owners. Then I was introduced to Paul. Although I still had my doubts, Paul was confident he could earn my business and find the best boat for me. Paul took the time to ask me questions about what I wanted/expected from a new boat and after that conversation, he steered me in a different direction than I was originally looking. Thank goodness this young man not only knows his boats but also knows how to listen and will make suggestions based on his experience. I went from almost buying a 2001 68 Ferretti to actually closing on a 2019 Regal 42 Fly and I am so grateful for Paul. I am a business owner myself and I will tell you, you have a rare breed with Paul–my suggestion is to consider yourself very lucky that he hangs his hat with you. He never once even hesitated to go see a boat, no matter where it was. From South Carolina to Puerto Rico, Paul was ready to go. If you knew me as a person, you would know that I'm a one- or two-sentence response kind of person, but Paul is every bit worth this review. I will buy all my future boats from Paul and will only refer him to any potential buyers I run into.

Thank you, Paul and Denison Yachting, for a great boat-purchasing experience–6 stars out of 5.

Thanks, Paul, for the great boat-buying experience we have just completed! As I sit here tonight on my 66 Hampton in the New River in Fort Lauderdale (and thrilled with my purchase), I am reflecting on 2022 and all the twists and turns to get here tonight. You and I started talking well over a year ago after meeting at the St. Petersburg Boat Show. I can't thank you enough for the perseverance that you have shown during this buying process. You have shown my family and me a very high level of patience and professionalism during the selection process. You have listened and provided great advice and have shown us numerous boats that ultimately helped us understand our true needs in the next vessel. I look forward to a long-term relationship as I am sure "two foot itus" will rear its head in the next few years! We look forward to the next adventure in 2023!

I was really impressed when I walked by this Viking one day and Paul was on the deck doing the teak himself after a vendor did not show up. This is true dedication and speaks highly of Paul's character. Few brokers would dirty their hands.

We are so happy to have had Paul as our broker. Thanks so much for all the help he delivered for finding the right boat for us! We really appreciate all the information and help he put in to make our boat purchase an ease. As I said, this is not the first one and last one we buy and sell. So keep up and take care!

Paul's service was indeed 5-star and he more than delivered on his promise, as we ended up selling the boat for more than we had originally accepted with one buyer which did not pan out.
