We were buying our first live aboard and my wife said it was harder than buying a house. We have bought and sold boats before and had used brokers, done surveys, and sea trials.
While searching for the perfect fit we contacted a seller’s broker. That is how we meet Charlie King.
I could write a short story that describes the whole process but if you are in the market you already know most of what has to be done. It’s what you don’t know and the choices that need to be made when a compromise is required that a good broker can help you with.
Once I worked with Charlie I knew that he would be my first call when we decide to make our next move.
Charlie, thank you for being there 24/7 to make things move in the right direction.
I have the chance now that the boat is put back together and is in the water to let you know how much we appreciate your work helping complete the purchase. It was an overwhelming thought to coordinate the paper work, deal with brokers, and ship the boat across the country. Couldn't have done it with out your help. Thanks Brian Nobles!
Chris Enfield was instrumental in the purchase of my Southport 28. As a long distance buyer, sight unseen except for photo’s. I had to put complete trust in Chris and the Surveyor! The purchase, handling of the survey, delivery to marina for hauling went without a hitch! I would certainly purchase another boat or yacht from Chris and the Denison crew!
We were very particular clients who had very high standards for the yacht that we were going to spend our retirement years aboard. Our broker, Kevin Frawley, showed great patience, determination and brutal honesty in our four year global search for the perfect yacht. When we found it, an 82' Horizon, his expertise and knowledge in the yachting industry gave us confidence and assurance that we were making the right choice with both the yacht and the broker. Our relationship has evolved into a friendship that will last a lifetime.
