In mid 2020, my wife and I began searching for a boat. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, we traveled to look at boats all over the Bay Area, the Delta, Stockton and even Sacramento. Not finding anything to our liking, we continued our search online. It was through our online search that we connected with Kim Dumas and Denison Yacht Sales in San Diego. Kim was a dream come true! She understood exactly what my wife and I wanted in a boat and she made it her mission to find us the perfect vessel. She was never “on the sell” and always put our interests first. She located the perfect boat for us — a 2006 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer! Being 600 miles away, we depended upon Kim to be our advocate and arrange for a sea trial, vessel and mechanical surveys, and haul out. She handled all negotiations with the seller and made sure that all i’s were dotted and t’s crossed. Kim even helped arrange for suggested maintenance and repairs and went so far as to go shopping with us to help us accessorize our new boat. Kim was extremely professional, always available and eager to satisfy whatever concern we may have had at the time. It will soon be one year since we added “Carol’s Cruiser” to our family and we couldn’t be happier. We have had a blast during one of the most challenging times in the history of our country with COVID. We took her out to the Golden Gate and made memories that will be with us for the rest of our lives. We can’t wait to have fun and make more memories this boating season. If you’re in the market for a boat, Kim Dumas can get it done for you. Thank you Kim!
I am compelled to contact you regarding Chris Ollis, one of your yacht brokers in Charleston, SC. Denison Yachting is fortunate to have someone who gives exceptional service and guidance during the process of selling their yacht. He is always available and returns emails or telephone calls immediately. New to South Carolina, I reviewed the brokers in the area that met my criteria and narrowed the list to three and then there was one! He is "top of the list" and I don't say that lightly. He constantly exceeded my expectations and made me feel like our yacht was his only listing His attention to detail is priceless. In today's competitive market it is rare to find someone dedicated, honest and professional. Denison Yachting is fortunate to have Chris representing their company. It has been a pleasure working with Chris and your "closing department". Excellent team work!
We are still in shock as to how quickly Jeff Phillips sold our yacht. My husband and I decided to sell our 54 Neptunus in the Fall of 2020. After talking with other yacht brokers we decided that we felt the most comfortable listing our boat with Jeff Phillips at Denison. Jeff researched the sales of other similar boats and recommended a sales price. He spoke to other brokers and found us a buyer the same day the boat was listed. We were expecting that it would take much longer to sell so we were completely shocked. I do not think that the sale would have happened so quickly without Jeff. You are very lucky to have such a great yacht broker.
I just closed on a Hatteras 6300 RPH Motoryacht and wanted to relate my yacht buying experience as I have now bought and sold boats with Denison representing my side of the transaction. My yacht broker, Jordan Preusz, did a truly exceptional job. He was not only essential in getting the sale done but was an indispensable resource along the way. We had been emailing for months and I really came to trust his opinion and judgment. I have never met a broker - in any business - who was as knowledgeable and straight forward to work with as Jordan. His honesty and transparency really impressed me. I found him to be very responsive - he seemed to work around the clock. Also, he did not put me up to this! He was just so far above and beyond expectations that I thought you should know what an amazing resource you have there.
