I wanted to send you a note of “thanks” for handling the sale of my 2003 Sunseeker Predator. You were very professional on every aspect of the deal. My past experiences with other yacht brokers has not been any where close to the way you handled this deal.
I appreciated the fact that you were interested in not just getting the deal done, but more interested in getting the deal done correctly and professionally. It seems to be harder these days to find a yacht broker who is committed to doing “the right thing”.
Thanks again and I certainly look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

“I have built and run a number of major companies and when I take this kind of dedication to my yachting life I don’t want a bunch of hype, I want to know the facts from somebody that really knows the Yachting Business, inside and out.
I use Bob Offer.”
- Owner of 104′ Destiny Yachts, Sharon Ann
It is with great pleasure that I write you this letter to tell you of my experience with
Denison Yacht Sales and especially your yacht broker Bob Offer. A couple of points to share with you first. I own and operate a commercial laundry business is San Francisco, California with over 300 employees servicing over 100 of the finest hotels. The principal of exceeding customer’s expectations is
what our company is founded on.
So I recognize great service when it happens to me. I have been looking to purchase a 35′ Cabo Express for the past year. Shortly after Christmas I ran across the yacht ad at Denison with the 2005 35′ Cabo Express. I sent an e-mail to inquire more about the deal as the ad read “trades considered” and I had a trade. To my surprise I received a response within 2 hours and a phone call shortly after the e-mail. It was Bob Offer at the other end.
I was hesitant to purchase a boat across the country but figured I would continue a dialogue. Since I wasn’t there I asked Bob if he could take some current pictures so we could decide if we wanted to move forward. He traveled to where the boat was and sent me so many pictures and details of what was behind the picture, condition-wise. It was as if I was there.
We made an offer that was accepted and my wife and I were on our way to see the boat and survey
and sea trial. Bob coordinated all the surveys, mechanic, and captain for us. The way Bob kept me
informed through this whole process was so unbelievable and refreshing. It was truly because of him that we closed on this boat February 7, 2011. Bob even coordinated the prep work to ship my boat to San Francisco for me as well as a few minor projects I wanted done to our complete satisfaction.
I feel I’ve gained a friend in Bob and have shared my happiness about our experience on my boating and fishing web sites. I would be very happy to recommend Denison Yacht Sales and Bob Offer to anyone considering buying a boat.
Thank you for the pleasant experience.

“LuAnn and I would be happy to serve as a reference for you (Bob Offer). You have done an outstanding job for us.”

“I have known Yacht Broker Bob Offer professionally since 1991.
Bob Offer is a Yacht Broker I respect. I know him to be a “straight shooter”, a professional who is honest and has integrity. Bob has always acted in good faith, and is a person of noble values. If I were a Seller of a yacht, I would be very comfortable to have Bob Offer represent me. Bob has values and a depth of knowledge and experience in the large yacht sector of the marine industry.
I am pleased to recommend Bob Offer to anyone seeking an experienced and trustworthy Yacht Broker.”
- Ingo A. Pfotenhauer, Worldwide Megayacht New Construction Manager
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Bob Offer for 15 years and consider him a friend as well as a business associate.
I first met Bob when I was a Captain of Motor Yacht Esprit a 106′ Yacht. As time went on Bob was most helpful in helping me move up to another Yacht of 126′.
He was also extremely helpful in assisting me in managing the yachts I was on and often offered serious seasoned consultation. I know he also went out of the way to help others in the business and is considered one of the major sources of guidance for many in the yachting industry.
I know him to be a tireless worker and is extremely well organized. In addition some of the innovative marketing techniques he started were major trend setters. Bob will be an asset to any program he gets involved with and is always most helpful to all those involved.”
- Captain Randy Haskell
“I was a Captain of Yachts for over 25 years and a Yacht Salesman for 15 years. I represented the German Shipyard Lurssen for 13 years in the USA. I also represented Westship and Baglietto Yachts before working with Lurssen.
I have known Bob Offer for most of my career in the Yachts business and know Bob is one of the most ethical, knowledgeable Yacht Brokers in the USA.
I also know Bob to be innovative and creative, for example Bob inspired the organization of the Miami Beach Yacht and Brokerage Show. Bob’s knowledge of Mega Yachts is very in-depth having much experience working with U.S. and European Shipyards.
Because of his knowledge and integrity I asked him to author the Brokerage Chapter in my best seller book I co-authored called Mega Yacht Wisdom, 2006.
Bob is a person you can trust and goes the extra mile to be sure all details of the projects he is involved with succeed. I would recommend him as a trusted broker and confidant to anyone looking to sell, buy, modify or change their Yacht.”
- Buddy Haack, Megayacht Broker
“I wanted to take the time to drop you this note and thank you very much for the fine work on the sale of the yacht Wheels. When we first discussed marketing with you last August. I could not believe that you would achieve such quick results and would sell “Wheels” in the first week of December.
Your constant attention to every detail, beginning with preparing for the boat show, assisting with mechanical and crew situations on the yacht as well as your knowledge of the marketplace and your assurance to me that the yacht would sell, was superior.
Mr. Offer’s negotiation skills and knowledge o all legal aspects of the sale were also extremely helpful in providing a smooth easy transaction.”
