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

I just closed on a 52 Carver that I bought through my yacht broker, Russ Schafer. After meeting Russ years ago, I knew that if I was to buy a boat through a broker I would do it through him. My wife and I saw the boat with Russ in Fort Myers and a month later we closed. Russ has been the perfect yacht broker, dedicating all the time needed, without being pushy, organizin…

Brian was excellent to work with on my recent boat purchase. He located exactly what I was looking for and crafted a great deal. His experience and knowledge were evident throughout the process. He is a true expert and a priceless advocate to have in your corner. Brian provided every resource along the way (surveyors, insurance, captains, service providers…

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Brian for the outstanding service he provided during the listing and sales process of “Free Bird”. I truly appreciate the professional handling, advice, and always prompt responses to my thoughts and concerns. This is the second transaction I have had through Denison, and am grateful for the positive experience h…

We listed our 1995 55′ Symbol Pilothouse on July 31, 2023 with Bill Mark. The quality of the listing, as presented on the Denison Yachting website, was exceptional. The photo work was beyond reproach. We averaged one showing a week. On September 12, 2023, we had an accepted offer very close to the asking price! Several times I thought that the deal was de…

Michael Johnson was amazing. He made sure the boat was always showing at its best, introduced me to contractors when updates and repairs were needed, and checked in on the boat periodically, particularly after bad weather. He is friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I wholeheartedly recommend him.…

Ricardo P. on Michael J. Johnson

My family and I first met with Erik Mayol when we walked into the Denison Newport Beach office asking about a diesel-powered boat between 40 and 50 feet long. Erik told us about a Sabre 48 SE that was located at the Long Beach marina. Having grown up in Newport Beach, and always having had boats, I had learned to be cautious when dealing with new yacht brokers. Erik…

We recently had the pleasure of working with Erik Mayol and were thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and expertise. From the initial contact to the final transaction, he went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met and all our questions were answered. His extensive knowledge of the market and attention to detail was evident throughout th…

Chris C. on Erik Mayol

Michael is the consummate professional! I highly recommend him. He is proactive and responsive. I was always treated respectfully and honestly.…

Charles R. on Michael J. Johnson

I wanted to pass along a note on how much we enjoyed working with our yacht broker, Russ Schafer, on the purchase of our Hatteras yacht. Russ went overboard on getting us pictures and videos and dealing with the selling broker to get the boat below our price point. Russ helped us get the surveys set up, the marina for haul out, and accommodated us on the day of the su…

Wes W. on Russ Schafer

I just wanted Denison to know how much I love my Broward yacht. She has had such a huge impact in a positive way on my life and I really enjoyed working with Tom on the purchase. Thank you for being part of my journey.…

Tim D. on Tom Hugh-Jones

Just a quick note to compliment my yacht broker Jeff Erdmann’s performance brokering the sale of my Beneteau. Jeff did an outstanding job pulling this deal together that probably would not have been possible otherwise. He excels at relationship building and maintains a high level of professionalism throughout the process. His boating expe…

Mike D. on Jeff Erdmann

My husband and I met Scott LaCroix when purchasing our boat—he was the listing broker and we were so lucky to have the opportunity to work with him! Working with Scott was great. He was professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Though we were in different geographical areas, he effectively liaised with t…
