We recently had the pleasure of working with your firm to acquire a Bertram 510 in Jupiter, FL. By luck, when I sent a web inquiry to Denison about a couple of listings of interest a few months ago, Morgan Bertram responded on your behalf. Our experience with Morgan was exceptional, and we will be happy to refer prospective buyers and sellers to him with confidence.
Morgan was very knowledgeable and very accommodating of our needs. He was very helpful in both finding good prospects to evaluate and gathering intelligence to help us make a more-informed decision on our purchase. Of course, as we became very serious in our pursuit of a Bertram, Morgan was a wealth of knowledge and helped us develop even better questions to aide our evaluation and comparisons. Morgan was a joy to work with and I can say with confidence that the process of our purchase exceeded our expectations.
Morgan helped in so many ways, before and after the transaction, and we are very grateful we were able to have him be our representative.
My wife Molly and I just wanted to share with you how pleasant we found our experience with Dennison and Morgan Bertram, and we will definitely seek you both for future transactions and refer you both, confidently, to our friends and others we encounter looking to buy or sell.
My wife and I are blue water sailors from Alaska. We sailed our Ketch around the world from 1998 until the end of 2013. We have lived aboard since 1998 and cruise Alaska 6 months out of the year, 6 months at the dock. I have been watching your operation since you started taking Bitcoin. In Alaska a motor yacht is more practical and as most old sailors we decided to move to a motor yacht.
I contacted your Seattle office and asked Ari Sherr to look for a 50 ft motor yacht for me. He went out of his way to help including traveling out of town to check out boats that I was interested in. He sent videos and his opinion on the condition of the yacht.
I ended up purchasing Sista a 50 ft Ocean Alexander at your dock once I got to Seattle. Ari assisted me in every way possible including taking me to various marine supply stores after the sale. He helped order parts, went over the yachts systems and always offered help in any way. When Ari was away Alla Botvina stepped in to help me. She too went out of her way to assist me. Alla even volunteered to help handle lines while going threw the Ballard locks as I was single-handing. She also has followed up with contacts to make sure all onboard is well as I move Sista to Ketchikan. What a great team you have, including the office staff. I will be listing my Ketch with your firm when I bring it to Seattle this summer.
At present I am in Port McNeal waiting out a storm and going over systems. The inside passage is a beautiful run. Lots of good anchorages. Weather is a factor in April so I hold where needed until it breaks. Local knowledge helps as I have done this passage many time. Sista handles very well and I am enjoying the passage home.
Thank you for putting together a great team in Seattle.
I had the pleasure of working with Alla Botvina on the purchase of a 2017 Cruisers Yachts Cantius 60, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. This was an exceptionally challenging transaction, with a seller who was difficult to negotiate with and a vessel that had not been maintained as it should have been. Throughout the entire process, Alla demonstrated unwavering professionalism, deep market knowledge, and an extraordinary commitment to ensuring my interests were protected.
From the initial negotiations to the final closing, Alla handled every obstacle with expertise and persistence. They went above and beyond to ensure that all issues were addressed and that I received a fair deal despite the seller’s attempts to nickel and dime every step of the way. Their attention to detail and advocacy made all the difference in bringing this deal to a successful close.
I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future. If you’re looking for a broker who is truly in your corner, I highly recommend Alla.
Clark single handedly and what appeared to be effortlessly, secured the
purchase and sale of the 80' Cheoy Lee Yacht Predator for our family.
Due to his impressive yachting knowledge and experience Clark was on point
with his care, attention and concern for his client. He impressed us with his
earnestness, his sense of pride, his ambition and his practical savvy - his ability
to get things done. Al these are traits rare in our society.
Clark has a commitment to his personal rules and ethics. His expression of his
sense of order gave us the confidence to move forward with this first purchase of
such a large yacht. Quite frankly, we could not have done it without his support.
