Our Clients Aren't Trophies, They're
Friends We've Met On Our Journey

I wanted to take a minute and let you know what a pleasure it was working with Steve Palazzo. Steve was the listing agent on the boat and as the buyer I chose to work direct with him. I have to say his expertise and advice worked well for both myself and the seller. Steve was able to assist both of us in order to close the deal. Being a West Coast buyer and having to fly in…

Grant goes above and beyond for his clients and he really cares. He’s also a captain and a prior service manager who always has time for me if I’m confused about something or need something for my boat. He’s never not replied to a text or email. You should buy your boats from Grant!…

Our Denison yacht broker, Grant Ninneman, was invaluable in helping us purchase our Nautitech 44 catamaran in Martinique. Purchasing a boat in a foreign country, dealing with documents in a foreign language, foreign currency, and unfamiliar laws can be extremely daunting. Grant held our hands through the whole process. His efforts made a huge differenc…

Grant has an easy style to make you feel welcome and comfortable. That helps when you are learning to pilot a yacht which can be intimidating. It is also clear he possesses boat systems experience to help someone make a good choice in purchasing a vessel.…

I was looking to purchase a  boat on the east coast and then ship it back to our home port in Ventura, CA. I needed an experienced yacht broker, someone I could trust and preferably a licensed captain. In other words, someone who really understands vessel capabilities and operating systems and could spot potential problems, I was introduced to Grant Ninnema…

Jeff Sorgen assisted me every step of the way in the purchase of my 1998 Sea Ray 56 Sedan Bridge. He met me promptly for the initial viewing and was candid and informative. We had numerous conversations about the boat prior to my offer and he guided me through each step. Jeff was the consummate professional at every step of the process. His guidance and knowledge…

We recently worked with Chad Robertson in buying our 2014 Princess 56 Fly, and we wanted to share our feedback on the experience with you.  We have been boating for many years, and we have owned five boats before the Princess. So we think it is fair to say that we have some comparative experience with how these transactions can go. Our experience with Chad has b…

Blake’s knowledge, dedication and perseverance was outstanding during a long process (due to the pandemic) from my offer to closing. I simply would not be the owner without Blake’s experienced and patient guidance. When I first saw a listing for a Beneteau Swift 52 trawler, I knew I had to act quickly since this model is rarely on the market in the U.S. My resea…

Tom, Again, congratulations on the deal closing. You achieved an excellent price in a very short time period. Bryn and I know we selected the right person to sell our Back Cove 37. Thank you!…

I wanted to reach out to say how happy we were with our yacht broker, Jake Garber. We have used other yacht brokers in the past and were so impressed with his professionalism and kindness. Jake was the perfect combination of aggressive without being pushy. He was so responsive to any concerns we had and we worked together to make the best decisions. It was such a p…

I am usually not a “review” type of person but I would like take the time to share with you my experience of buying my new Sunseeker with your company and particularly with my yacht broker, Jason Walton. A few months ago my husband and I decided to purchase a yacht, I started my research online, looked for boats in Puerto Rico and couldn’t find a perfect fit so I expa…

In mid 2020, my wife and I began searching for a boat. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, we traveled to look at boats all over the Bay Area, the Delta, Stockton and even Sacramento. Not finding anything to our liking, we continued our search online. It was through our online search that we connected with Kim Dumas and Denison Yacht Sales in San Diego. Kim was a d…
