Remarkable service and unbelievable communication! Michael is the gold standard of boat brokers.

I've worked with at least a dozen brokers over the past ten years; working with Michael Johnson was the most enjoyable and refreshing experience by far.

Michael was there for every step of the journey, answering on weekends, holidays, and after hours.

Michael was not only on top of every detail, large and small, but he continued to follow up with me several days after the closing to be certain my experience with our new boat was going well and answering all questions I had about the new systems that we were using for the first time.

I'd feel 110% confident referring anyone to work with Michael on a purchase of any vessel and can rest well knowing they would be very well taken care of.

This outstanding guy even sent me pictures of my family and me on the boat during our sea trial, checked on her mooring in our absence, confirmed the security of the dockage after close and before possession, negotiated with the dock master to keep her put, researched to find maintenance personnel, and many other small but important elements that are above and beyond his duty, without ever complaining when things got sticky.

When it's time to upgrade this boat, Michael is the only broker I'm going to call, and that makes me feel secure that my next purchase will be a breeze and a pleasure.

Call Michael today, you'll see for yourself the personal attention that goes into your deal.

I recently had the pleasure of completing a sales transaction for the SUZANNE E, a 44’ Pacific Seacraft sailboat, using Denison Yacht Sales and Scott LaCroix (broker) and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

From start to finish, the process was seamless and filled with professionalism, making it a truly positive and memorable event.
Throughout the sales transaction, Scott demonstrated a high level of knowledge and expertise in all aspects of the sales transaction. They were responsive to my inquiries and provided detailed information about the boat's history, maintenance records, and any upgrades or modifications that had been made. His transparency and boating knowledge along with his willingness to address all my concerns instilled confidence in the boat's condition and the transaction as a whole.

The seller and broker also went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and secure transaction including making the boat available to me 2+ weeks. They facilitated the necessary paperwork, including the transfer of ownership and any required inspections, making the process hassle-free for both parties. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident at every step, making me feel reassured and comfortable throughout the entire process.

Although I did not get a chance to meet the seller in person, she and Scott made the boat available to me for a full week prior to the offer, allowing me to inspect every nook, bin, and storage hole on the boat. Scott also arranged for the boat to remain in the club slip until my departure.

Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of the sales transaction for the SUZANNE E. The boat itself far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend using Denison Yacht Sales and, moreover, Scott LaCroix to anyone in search of a quality sailboat and a seamless sales process.

Our journey has almost come to an end, now that our new boat has arrived at her new home in Croatia, starting from your base in the South of France. I want to thank Florent one more time for this extremely nice experience with him and the Denison team.

From the first contact and shortly after that first visit, I already had a good feeling about this transaction. For still being quite young, I was surprised about his professionalism and file knowledge. There was not one single question not being answered, whether it was about the history or technical side of the boat, or about the procedure to finish the deal.

I felt his procedure was straightforward, very clear and transparent, and safe. I did not doubt for one second making deposits and full payment later on. Even after full payment, the after-sales service stayed intact until the very last missing document. We have purchased several boats in our life, but this purchase has been absolutely my smoothest boat deal ever.

Thanks for everything and all the best in Florent's future career!

I have 50-plus years in the marine industry. During this time, I owned and operated a 350-boat marina that offered full service and retail sales. I found Grant Ninneman from Denison Yachting to be, without question, the most responsive, knowledgeable yacht broker I have ever met. I still can't believe that any time I call, he either answers the phone or texts an immediate response.

I flew to Fort Lauderdale from Annapolis, Maryland multiple times, in which Grant set up between four and six boats each time for my review. He also performed numerous live video reviews showing the good, bad, and ugly on several other prospective boats.

I could not have been more fortunate to connect with Grant. I immediately found him to be knowledgeable, responsive, and an excellent sounding board. He was able to answer/explain all of my questions/concerns through his actual boating experience (he captained boats all around the world) with real knowledge that I knew from my experience was accurate.

He offered an excellent balance of providing his point of view when asked without pushing any agenda. He invested a significant amount of his time and was very responsive throughout the whole process.

I quickly realized Grant’s own extensive yachting background as a captain and in yacht design, features, and capabilities. He was very patient in explaining each boat’s design and mechanical features as well as answering all my questions. We spent several days visiting yachts before finding a 2007 70' Princess Yacht.

Grant is extremely knowledgeable and very capable during the purchase process, including negotiating offers, arranging for a survey and haul out, obtaining insurance, and recommending service personnel for completion of work on the boat after closing. Even now, after the purchase, Grant continues to stay in touch.

I highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a yacht.

Michael consistently went above and beyond expectations while he worked with a difficult client...me! It was a long journey finding the right boat for us but Michael made it happen. You won't find a better broker anywhere!
