This letter serves to record our appreciation and respect for the services provided by Mr. Jeff Sorgen, of Denison Yacht Sales, Dania Beach in Florida, in the search for and acquisition of our yacht “Windward”.

We started our search in early 2015 from our home in Cornwall in the United Kingdom, looking for a blue water capable cruiser in either the Caribbean or the East coast of the USA. After a frustrating period of owner and broker interactions, we made contact with Jeff, whose excellent service and attention to our requirements resulted in the successful acquisition of “Windward".

The features of Jeff’s service that we so much appreciated included:

• Taking time to properly understand our needs and capabilities
• Providing wise advice where we might have made sub-optimal choices
• Staying well abreast of the range of craft available at any one point in time and keeping us informed of such
• Professionally handling communications with a remote, foreign buyer operating in a different time zone
• Sourcing reliable and professional support services such as survey, yacht services and yard facilities
• Infinite patience with our endless enquiries
• Conducting professional negotiations that resulted in a fair value outcome for both Buyer and Seller
• Courteous assistance and coordination on our visit to Fort Lauderdale for the survey, sea trial and final purchase negotiations

We highly recommend Jeff’s services to both Buyers and Sellers of yachts.

Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a Carver 34C.  The processed was handled through the Carver dealer, Denison Yachts in San Diego. 

The Denison broker coordinating the purchase was Mr. Tom Cardosa. 

In my 55 years of boating, I have never met a more pleasant, competent, professional, and honest man as Tom Cardosa.  His responsiveness was extraordinary and advice extremely valuable. His expertise was immediately obvious.  He went over and beyond that which was expected of him as a representative for me protecting my interests, yet representing Carver in an extraordinary way. 

This man is deserving of great recognition and kudos.

Thank you Carver for Tom Cardosa. You should be extremely proud to have him on your team.
