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

I am reaching out to express my appreciation for the excellent manner in which the recent sale of my boat Lagniappe was conducted. Peter Obetz is a consummate professional who really does deliver “a little something extra” to the process. Peter not only handled everything efficiently from listing to closing, but he provided val…

I wanted to drop you a line and tell you about our amazing experience with our yacht broker, Steve Palazzo. His service was exceptional… extraordinary, really. Steve and I spoke for a year looking for the “perfect vessel.” My husband and I knew what we were looking for and knew what we liked. Steve found a Tiara for us in Florida (we are in Ohio).. W…

Kelle S. on Steve Palazzo

We’ve been meaning to drop you a note expressing our gratitude for all that you have done in helping us find, acquire and get situated with our “new” Tiara LS 38, Luna B (soon to be LunaSea). You didn’t just sell us a boat, you have helped us with the generator issue, finding captains, a marina, insurance, and so much more. Your follow though has been extremely imp…

Even though my deals haven’t closed yet, I wanted to share my satisfaction with your company and specifically, Max. As a firm you bring back integrity to the yachting community which unfortunately is a rare value to others in your industry. Max follows your high values in his dealings and I can assure you that when the bug bites in the future and my masochistic t…

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…

Paul D. on Grant Ninneman

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.…

John M. on Grant Ninneman

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…
