There was initially a lot of uncertainty and many stress points in looking for and buying our first blue water sailing yacht. Benjamin Morse of Denison Yachts went above and beyond to reduce the stress and make the buying process enjoyable. His easy-going manner was calming throughout the process and his expert knowledge of the boat, as well as the industry overall, was extremely helpful.  After the sale, he helped with finding a wet slip as well as graciously handling many first-time buyer questions. We would highly recommend working with Ben.

Our experiences with Jean-Marie Cabri over the last 15 years have been phenomenal. He sold us a new Beneteau 46 in 2008 and brokered the sale of it in the summer of 2022.

He sailed with us to Mexico back when California had the 91-day yacht club legislation. I was blown away by a broker who would spend four days with a buyer to close a deal. His knowledge and sailing experiences on this overnight passage turned into a sailing friendship since. He’s always available to share his life and advice.

Recently he sold the same boat for us. As with any 15-year-old boat, there will be a laundry list of items to fix, even with a diligent owner. Jean-Marie was on top of it all. We were out of the country as Jean-Marie chipped away at the list. We were so relieved to know our boat was in such capable hands.

Jean-Marie turned a business transaction 15 years ago into a lifelong friendship. We know we will see Jean-Marie on the water somewhere.

Additionally, our experiences with Denison Yacht Services and their escrow services with Marlin Szarf were so easy and professional.

Betty and I were so appreciative of Grant's efforts as our yacht broker on the sale of our trawler yacht. Our previous yacht broker did very little to aggressively “show the boat”. He advertised but was not an enthusiastic salesperson. Let’s say he “called it in.”

Grant, on the other hand, hit the ground running. He was a great advocate for the attributes of the Grand Banks. He was also quick to use resources to publish a very good video which we believed contributed greatly to the relatively quick sale once he took command.

I was very pleased with his focused efforts. Thanks again.

Joe and I are so grateful for all of Ari's diligent hard work, logistics planning, advice, and over-the-top efforts on our behalf. He is incredible at what he does and is truly in a class of his own. It has been a pleasure getting to know Ari and work with him. Thanks for making our boating dreams come true.
