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

This is our 40th powerboat spanning 55+ years of boating and I can honestly say that Mickey made this process enjoyable.

I would like to send you a short note to tell you how much I appreciate the efforts of one of your yacht brokers for the sale of our prior yacht and the purchase of the new one. Mickey Belden was our selling broker on the sale of our Cruisers Yachts and the buying broker on the purchase of our new Sea Ray yacht. In both instances, Mickey’s professionalism, dedication…

We would be happy to recommend our yacht broker, Jeff Phillips, to anyone even thinking about selling their boat.

I’ve been a boater in Chicago for 46 years. A few months ago, my wife and I decided we were done and that it was time to sell our boat. I went to the web and punched in some info about our DeFever trawler on the Denison Yacht Sales web site. Within 2 hours or so I received an email from Jeff Phillips. He began by letting me know that he understood exactly what I was going th…

Jason has become a day by day support, providing feedback and updates during our yacht search phase up to the tours of the boats at the different places, and the evaluation on the boats offered.

I would like to thanks Denison Yachting for the recent purchase of my Sessa Marine 47 Flybridge M/Y. The transaction has been smooth like silk and handled with extreme competence and professionalism by your team. In particular, my experience with my yacht broker, Jason Walton, has been really outstanding. Jason has become a day by day support, providing fe…

Bill helped me find the right price point and he traveled the 40 miles each way to my boat roughly 30 plus times to get this sale done.

A note to express my gratitude for my yacht broker, Bill Mark. Thanks so much for your help with getting my boat listed and then eventually sold by Bill Mark in Washington. After I moved to Thailand I realized my boating days were very limited. Bill helped me find the right price point and he traveled the 40 miles each way to my boat roughly 30 plus times to get this s…

Fred’s patient, thoughtful, and knowledgeable approach helped us immeasurably.

I am grateful to Denison Yachting and, in particular my yacht broker, Fred Schmitt, for his top-to-bottom level support and assistance in our buying our motor yacht. My wife and I had heard about Denison previously but had opted to purchase previous boats on our own, which admittedly had its cumbersome moments. Fred connected with us a few years back and offe…

Having worked with many brokers over the years, I have really come to appreciate Jason’s style.

I had the pleasure of working with Jason for the sale of my 65 Marquis as well as the acquisition of a 72 Marquis. Having worked with many brokers over the years, I have really come to appreciate Jason’s style. Not only has he always displayed the highest degree of integrity, but he is also enthusiastic and persistent while never coming across as pushy.  …

I would recommend his expertise and services to anyone looking to purchase a vessel.

Purchasing a yacht for my wife and I was a very personal and emotional transaction much like buying a home. Jason was very patient with us and showed us as many yachts as it took, answered hundreds of questions, and constantly communicated ideas and options to us. He was never pushy or aggressive and always got the job done in a timely manner with excellent resul…

My wife and I had a very good experience purchasing our sailboat with Jeff Erdmann.

My wife and I had a very good experience purchasing our sailboat with Jeff Erdmann. He was very thorough. Every question we had was answered, including those only indirectly related to the boat sale. Jeff’s communication skills are admirable. He worked diligently messaging between us and the seller to bring the deal to a close. And his after sale follow up ha…

Jeff knows and loves boats and the business of selling them. He is a knowledgeable, experienced professional.

Jeff Sorgen was the yacht broker who sold my Catalina MKII, a 40-foot sailboat. He hired a captain to move the boat from Sarasota (where I kept the boat) to Ft. Lauderdale where there are many more buyers for this size boat. Jeff also arranged a private dock close to his office at Denison Yachting where the boat was docked at a third of the cost of keeping the boat at…

Josh exemplifies sales professionalism and represents your firm well.

I wanted to send you this email to tell you how happy we are with the way Josh Olsen handled the sale of our boat. He is very knowledgeable and gave us clear guidance in setting a realistic asking price. He negotiated with the buyer with our best interests in mind and then steered us through some after survey repairs while my wife and I were 1200 miles north taking ca…
