I have owned boats for over 50 years and have bought and sold six different boats. My recent boat was a Selene 40 Archer (Plan B). I met Jack when we purchased the boat in Pensacola; he was not with Denison, but had a flair for people and boats. As time passed, Jack introduced himself as a salesperson for Denison and asked me to keep him in mind if we ever thought of selling. Well, the time came to sell and we interviewed Jack and Denison. My experience with Jack was superb.

Jack understood how to value the boat in today's market, he was spot on.
When it came time for pictures, Jack arranged for an aerial as well as interior photos. His knowledge of boats and what is really important produced a great set of sales tools. Along with the Denison website, I feel we got great market exposure.

When the inquiries came in, Jack did a great job of qualifying potential buyers and separating the lookers from serious buyers. Jack was a dual representative for both the sellers and buyers. During the entire sales process from offer, to survey, to closing, Jack was fair to both parties. Yes, we did need to fix some things, but Jack also explained to the buyer that some things were 20 years old but still operational.

Denison did a great job of closing. They requested documents and completed the transaction without any problems.

Overall, the sales experience was the most professional and best of my 50 years of boating.

I work in the service industry providing legal services to others as an attorney and I feel it is most noteworthy to bring Mr Erdmann's performance to your attention. He really went above and beyond in every single respect. My husband Ryan and I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Erdmann for the last two years as we navigated the boat-buying process–to a successful end. We are now the proud and happy owners of a 2012 Leopard 46, named MORADO.

Throughout the undeniably stressful process from finding a broker to closing the deal, Jeff was the most amazing support and source of knowledge for us. Even at points in time when we were about to give up, he stayed strong and steady, giving us options and other ideas to consider. We truly believe he was the most instrumental part in making this dream come true for us and our family.

Jeff was ethical, prompt, and reliable. He gave us his honest opinion in situations where he could have held back to make a deal, and this quality, above all, makes him shine because we felt he really cared for our well-being and that we were not just another sale to him. He had solid referrals and his historical knowledge and experience made us feel comfortable relying on him and his advice in making one of the biggest purchases of our life.

I wanted to write this to express my sincerest appreciation for what he has done for us.

Remarkable service and unbelievable communication! Michael is the gold standard of boat brokers.

I've worked with at least a dozen brokers over the past ten years; working with Michael Johnson was the most enjoyable and refreshing experience by far.

Michael was there for every step of the journey, answering on weekends, holidays, and after hours.

Michael was not only on top of every detail, large and small, but he continued to follow up with me several days after the closing to be certain my experience with our new boat was going well and answering all questions I had about the new systems that we were using for the first time.

I'd feel 110% confident referring anyone to work with Michael on a purchase of any vessel and can rest well knowing they would be very well taken care of.

This outstanding guy even sent me pictures of my family and me on the boat during our sea trial, checked on her mooring in our absence, confirmed the security of the dockage after close and before possession, negotiated with the dock master to keep her put, researched to find maintenance personnel, and many other small but important elements that are above and beyond his duty, without ever complaining when things got sticky.

When it's time to upgrade this boat, Michael is the only broker I'm going to call, and that makes me feel secure that my next purchase will be a breeze and a pleasure.

Call Michael today, you'll see for yourself the personal attention that goes into your deal.

I recently had the pleasure of completing a sales transaction for the SUZANNE E, a 44’ Pacific Seacraft sailboat, using Denison Yacht Sales and Scott LaCroix (broker) and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

From start to finish, the process was seamless and filled with professionalism, making it a truly positive and memorable event.
Throughout the sales transaction, Scott demonstrated a high level of knowledge and expertise in all aspects of the sales transaction. They were responsive to my inquiries and provided detailed information about the boat's history, maintenance records, and any upgrades or modifications that had been made. His transparency and boating knowledge along with his willingness to address all my concerns instilled confidence in the boat's condition and the transaction as a whole.

The seller and broker also went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and secure transaction including making the boat available to me 2+ weeks. They facilitated the necessary paperwork, including the transfer of ownership and any required inspections, making the process hassle-free for both parties. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident at every step, making me feel reassured and comfortable throughout the entire process.

Although I did not get a chance to meet the seller in person, she and Scott made the boat available to me for a full week prior to the offer, allowing me to inspect every nook, bin, and storage hole on the boat. Scott also arranged for the boat to remain in the club slip until my departure.

Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of the sales transaction for the SUZANNE E. The boat itself far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend using Denison Yacht Sales and, moreover, Scott LaCroix to anyone in search of a quality sailboat and a seamless sales process.

Our journey has almost come to an end, now that our new boat has arrived at her new home in Croatia, starting from your base in the South of France. I want to thank Florent one more time for this extremely nice experience with him and the Denison team.

From the first contact and shortly after that first visit, I already had a good feeling about this transaction. For still being quite young, I was surprised about his professionalism and file knowledge. There was not one single question not being answered, whether it was about the history or technical side of the boat, or about the procedure to finish the deal.

I felt his procedure was straightforward, very clear and transparent, and safe. I did not doubt for one second making deposits and full payment later on. Even after full payment, the after-sales service stayed intact until the very last missing document. We have purchased several boats in our life, but this purchase has been absolutely my smoothest boat deal ever.

Thanks for everything and all the best in Florent's future career!
