Just wanted to send you a quick note re: my experience with purchasing a yacht from Denison Yacht Sales and my yacht broker, Patrick Hopkins. Right from the inception Patrick & I hit it off. He's a very personable guy with a lot of knowledge and so many great contacts. We ran into a few issues but Patrick took responsibility and quickly and handled them.

I am still in contact with Patrick after the sale which is not always the case when you purchase something. He is guiding me to the right mechanic who will service the boat in Montauk, NY and is helping me install a Seakeeeper for my yacht. You have a great guy and yacht broker in Patrick, not a pushy sales guy which is so annoying and a great resource moving forward. Thanks!

Jeff Sorgen was the yacht broker who sold my Catalina MKII, a 40-foot sailboat. He hired a captain to move the boat from Sarasota (where I kept the boat) to Ft. Lauderdale where there are many more buyers for this size boat. Jeff also arranged a private dock close to his office at Denison Yachting where the boat was docked at a third of the cost of keeping the boat at a marina in the area. Although the boat was in good condition and presented itself well, Jeff found some deferred maintenance which he and his contractors eliminated.

After the boat was in marketable condition, he put the boat on the market with a very thorough listing-detailed information and great pictures. He arranged a person to wash the topside and another person to clean the bottom when needed to keep it in marketable condition. Jeff advertised the boat, found the buyer and closed the transaction at a fair price to both the seller and the buyer in a matter of weeks. Jeff knows and loves boats and the business of selling them. He is a knowledgeable, experienced professional. I found Jeff to be an advisor, straight shooter and very responsive. He kept me regularly updated and was very easy to work with. As a truly professional yacht broker, Jeff is the best of the best.

I wanted to send you this email to tell you how happy we are with the way Josh Olsen handled the sale of our boat. He is very knowledgeable and gave us clear guidance in setting a realistic asking price. He negotiated with the buyer with our best interests in mind and then steered us through some after survey repairs while my wife and I were 1200 miles north taking care of our sick parents. In short, he exemplifies sales professionalism and represents your firm well. Josh, well done! Thank you.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize an outstanding yacht broker by the name of Steve Palazzo. From my first contact with Mr. Palazzo to weeks after the transaction had finalized he was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the entire process! Steve had the time and patience to answer all of my unique questions and concerns as he always made himself available anytime on a phone call, via text and emails as well.

The entire process was made that much easier and gave me peace of mind as I knew I was working with a knowledgeable decent individual. Steve Palazzo is not just another yacht broker looking to close a sale. I take the time to say this because as a small business owner I greatly appreciate and value individuals representing my company and myself. Again thank you!
