OnBoard Magazine - Issue XI - Summer 2019

HIGH-QUALITY SALES & SERVICE Dear Chris Hall [Sr.], “I am writing to thank you for running such a fine, customer oriented business and to thank Earle for his efforts in resolving the problems I had with Cummins and the 2016 Sabre. Earle runs a high-quality service yard and I would still be in a mess without his efforts. I also want to thank Craig [Messick] and Lisa [Keene] for their courteous help [Bluewater Hampton Yacht Yard Service Manager and Coordinator]. Finally, I want to thank Chris Jr. for making the purchase of our 2018 Sabre and the sale of the 2016 Sabre happen. Without you all, I would probably be out of boating.” Nicholas Worth - Sabre 48, Christine Sistership DISTANCE IS NO BOUNDARY TO A SUCCESSFUL SALE “I found a 2015 Everglades 295 that I was extremely interested in and reached out to Matt Serafin to discuss the details around the sale of this boat. Matt was extremely responsive and got in touch with me the following day. He was very honest, open, and up-front regarding this particular boat and was extremely professional in the negotiation. This was a unique situation, as I was trying to purchase this boat remotely (I live in Fairhope, AL and was buying in W. Palm Beach), and Matt was more than accommodating and patient with my requests and the many moving parts of closing a deal for a boat that I have never seen before. In my opinion, he went well above the call of duty to ensure that this was a positive experience for me. So much so that I have several friends in the market and have passed on Matt’s information to them as well. With people like Matt representing your company, I know you will have many more years of continued success.” Todd Cheney - Everglades 295 SURPASSING EXPECTATIONS “I have had many boats in my life and have dealt with many brokers. I found that Jimmy Dean was more proactive with getting my boat sold. For example, he made it a point to take time out of his weekend and take my 2011 Back Cove 30 to Ego Alley in Annapolis so it would get more exposure. Jimmy paid for all slip fees and cleaning, etc.! It created more activity and I believe helped sell my boat in a more timely manner!” Howard Warren - Back Cove 30 Congratulations to Mr. Kevlahan on his 2019 Viking 37 Billfish. We hope you enjoy your new rig! DELIVERING DREAMS 52 BLUEWATER
