Brent: " Just a quick note to say yet again you have EXCELLED! This is our second boat purchased through you. Finding a buyer for our existing boat (1998 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer) at FAIR MARKET VALUE was only the first step. Finding us the boat we wanted (2001 Sea Ray 380 Sundancer) at an AMAZING PRICE was the second. Most importantly, by running both of our deals through your brokerage company, we were able to pay the 13% taxes on the cash difference only, just as if we had traded our boat in to a local Canadian dealer, but with the ADDED BONUS of getting MUCH CHEAPER US PRICING! A big WIN / WIN for us all around. Finally as a person who runs their own business, my hectic schedule did not allow me the time to actually go to the US to see the boat. We BOLDLY went ahead, with FULL TRUST in you, and I have to say, that the boat is SPECTACULAR and way beyond our expectations. It is EXACTLY what you told me it would be. The entire process was seamlessly smooth and a total pleasure. If there is a third boat in our future, we will call on your PROFESSIONAL SERVICES again. Thanks again for getting us an AWESOME DEAL on an AWESOME BOAT. Best regards, Darren & Colette" - Port Credit Yacht Club, ON
Brent: "Year 1: a successful introduction to boating. Year 2: MAJOR FOOTITIS !!!! Year 3: see Year 2 !!!!!! This is starting to sound like a broken record, but once again, you have done an AMAZING JOB for us. This is our third boat purchased through you in 3 years. Not only were you able to properly price, list and sell our 2003 Sea Ray 420 Sundancer within one month, you then found us an absolutely UNBELEIVABLE DEAL on our new 2004 Sea Ray 52 Sundancer in Indiana. It is always unsettling to make a major purchase out of country. But your team of US legal experts, transportation and shipping specialists, Canadian customs broker and vessel registration specialists ensured that everything ran smoothly without a single hitch. The entire cross border importation process from A to Z was handled PROFESSIONALLY on our behalf. You even arranged for a delivery captain and crew to handle the water delivery from Indiana to Ontario. We would recommend to anybody considering purchasing a US based boat to engage your services to act on their behalf. We look forward to the next few years on our new boat. The boat is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and we saved a TON OF MONEY versus buying the identical boat in Ontario. Thanks again for making this a GREAT EXPERIENCE for us. Warren & Nathalie" - Port Credit Yacht Club, ON
"Dear Brent: Thank you for the INCREDIBLE Cobalt 360 PC. It is beautiful. Everything CAME OUT AS ADVERTISED and I could not be MORE PLEASED with the PROFESSIONALISM your company displayed throughout the whole transaction. Being an American I was nervous about the out of country purchase (Canada), but you made it as easy as going to my local Cobalt dealer. You found me a ONE OF A KIND boat that no one else in the WORLD has ! Thanks again, Kelley" - Grand Lake, OK
Brent: "Thank you very much for your HONESTY, INTEGRITY and EFFICIENCY in concluding my sailboat purchase. It is an unsettling experience for a buyer to acquire a boat, sight unseen, in another country with significant funds being transferred to people you do not know. Moreover, there is also in my case, the challenge of transporting a 33 foot sailboat across the Canada / US border and moving it 2,000 kilometers to Lake of the Woods. You advised me as to what would occur, what the relative timing would be and EVERYTHING HAPPENED EXACTLY AS YOU OUTLINED. In addition, you took care of the purchase process, funds transfer, licensing of the boat, customs brokerage at the border and co-ordination of trucking such that it was painless for me. I have a boat which will be ready for the water next spring. It is in EXCELLENT SHAPE and once my wife and I have added our own touches, it will OFFER MANY YEARS OF PLEASURE. I will recommend you to friends and acquaintances who might contemplate purchasing a sail or power boat. Dennis" - Keewatin, MB
Brent: "We just want to thank you and your team for the TREMENDOUS HELP in helping us buy our 1998 Carver 350 Mariner from the STATES. Our entire CROSS BORDER experience was VERY POSITIVE and MOST IMPORTANTLY we SAVED A TON OF MONEY. It was reassuring for us to have someone with your PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE represent us at each step of the transaction. You handled the offer negotiation, seller documentation, title and lien searches, paying off the seller's bank loan and securing the lien release documentation from his bank, arranging transport for us with a great shipper, handled our Canadian Customs documentation and the licensing of our vessel with Transport Canada. It was a VERY PLEASANT and VERY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE and not only did we get a QUALITY BOAT at a GREAT PRICE, we gained a friend in the process. Warmest regards, Dan & Nadia" - Lake Simcoe, ON
Brent: "I wanted to drop you a line and say a big thank you for helping our family purchase a 2004 Sea Ray Sundancer 340 from the States. Your pre-sale advice was very helpful in choosing the RIGHT BOAT and making a BETTER INVESTMENT DECISION than I could have done alone. People have asked me if it was difficult to buy a boat from the United States. I tell everyone that my experience was HASSLE FREE, and I am not kidding. Your handling of the transportation, custom brokers, taxes, state tax exemptions and the rest of the red tape was very welcome and PUT ME AT EASE knowing I would not get caught up in a paperwork nightmare. Additionally, I SAVED AT LEAST $30,000 on the price of my boat. My 340 is absolutely beautiful and practically new and looks like it just came from the factory. But the most important part is my family simply loves the boat. I tell everyone who is looking to buy a used boat to get it from the States and to have you handle the whole deal. Thanks for all your help and if there is anything you can do to make next summer arrive faster, that would also be much appreciated. Warm regards, John" - Port Franks, ON
Brent: "The 380 Sundancer has been our DREAM BOAT since we first stepped on one over 10 years ago. So you can imagine our disappointment when we located one in Toronto within our budget, only to find out we were a couple of hours too late, and it was already sold. When you called us a couple of days later, suggesting we take a look at the EXACT same boat in Rochester, NY, only newer by a year, with less hours, extended canopy, and other options, but higher in asking price, and that you were physically standing on the boat with your surveyor, and the boat was mint, and we should make the seller an offer, and see what happens, I thought to myself, this guy is dreaming in TECHNICOLOR if he thinks he can do this deal within our budget. But much to our SURPRISE, you pulled the whole deal together, handled all the title transfers and customs paperwork, and when we picked up our new boat and saw it for the first time, we were thrilled and it performed flawlessly, just like you said it would. I could go on forever about how impressed and amazed we were with the level of professional service and honesty we received from your company, but I will cut it short and simply say this as a fellow business man - BUDDY YOU ROCK ! - best wishes - Tom and Yula" - Lord Redding Yacht Club, QC
Brent: "Year 1: a successful introduction to boating. Year 2: MAJOR FOOTITIS !!!! Just a note to say you have once again done an AMAZING JOB for us. Not only were you able to properly price, list and sell our 2001 Wellcraft 3300 within one month, you then found us an absolutely UNBELEIVABLE DEAL on our new 2003 Sea Ray 420 Sundancer Hard Top in Oklahoma. It is always a bit scary to make a major purchase out of country. But your team of US legal experts, transportation and shipping specialists, Canadian customs broker and vessel registration specialists ensured that everything ran smoothly without a single hitch. The entire cross border importation process from A to Z was handled PROFESSIONALLY on our behalf.

Dear Brent: "Just a note of thanks on making my very COMPLEX DEAL happen. Selling my old boat (2000 Sea Ray 400 Sedan Bridge) and buying my new boat (2003 Sea Ray 480 Sedan Bridge) looks easy until one gets into the many details that are involved. Fortunately for me, you were able to SMOOTH OUT THE ROUGH SEAS and make my deal happen in the end. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND your services to anyone CONTEMPLATING THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF A BOAT, particularly any boat from the UNITED STATES. I am sure that your business will continue to flourish as the value of your services becomes more widely known throughout the boating community. Once again, thank you so much. Paul" - Port Credit Yacht Club, ON
Brent: "We wanted to thank you again for all your HARD WORK and PROFESSIONALISM in locating and importing our 2005 Regal 3860 Commodore. This was our SECOND BOAT purchased through you and your EXPERTISE in the pricing and listing of our old boat enabled us to sell it in the first weekend. Your ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL from locating, negotiating and arranging delivery to my slip was outstanding. NO HIDDEN SURPRISES or COSTS made for a very transparent and seamless transaction. Your initial cost estimates were bang on and you certainly delivered MORE BOAT at a MUCH LOWER PRICE than we would have ever been able to find locally. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone considering purchasing or selling their next boat. Thanks again for making this a MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE for us. Barry & Louisa" - Island Yacht Club, ON
Brent: "Without your help, I would not own my current boat. It is your PERSEVERENCE to put together a deal that brought me back to the table when I had dismissed the opportunity as beyond my price point. You not only GOT ME MY PRICE but walked me through the PROCESS OF IMPORTING A BOAT INTO CANADA. I could not be HAPPIER with the PROFESSIONAL SERVICE you provided and have not hesitated when recommending you to others. Robin" - Port Credit Yacht Club, On
Hi Brent: "Just a quick note to THANK YOU for your assistance with the purchase of our new boat. When we first started thinking about buying a boat we did what most people do - lots of Internet research - called the local marinas - called a lot of other boat brokers - and felt throughout the entire process - WE WERE ALWAYS BEING PUSHED TO BUY SOMETHING THAT SUITED THE OTHER PARTY - NOBODY SEEMED INTERESTED IN OUR NEEDS. Running my own business places incredible demands on my time. I do not recall how I came to speak with you - but it was the best thing that happened to us. You were the first person who did not try to sell us a boat. Instead you asked about my family, our boating intentions, our needs and our budget. MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU LISTENED TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY. You then showed us a 1998 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer. Although it was slightly above our budget, we knew instantly that this was the right boat for us. You handled all the paperwork, took care of the delivery and the on water orientation and we have never looked back. We spent many enjoyable hours on the water last summer. Thanks again for everything - your KNOWLEDGE, PROFESSIONALISM and INTEGRITY are second to none. Darren & Colette" Port Credit Yacht Club, ON
Brent: "Thanks for making my FIRST BOAT PURCHASE (1994 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer) a quick and carefree process. As a BUSINESSMAN who maintains a HECTIC SCHEDULE, I do not have the time or inclination to do all the things required to SAFELY and CORRECTLY IMPORT A BOAT from the STATES. Your KNOWLEDGE and PROFESSIONALISM made my purchase transaction simple. Thanks for educating a first time buyer on the pros and cons of buying Stateside. I will be calling you again in a few years when I am ready to MOVE UP. Again THANKS - Anthony" - Port Credit Yacht Club, ON
"Dear Brent: I hope this message finds you well and safe. We would just like to THANK YOU for the OUTSTANDING JOB you did for us in locating, surveying and negotiating the purchase of our 2000 Sea Ray 400 Sedan Bridge from the USA. Your overall EXPERTISE and KNOWLEDGE made what was going to be a challenging project a VERY SMOOTH and SATISFYING EXPERIENCE. We would recommend you to all who need an ASTUTE and KNOWLEDGEABLE boat person to act on their behalf. Pat & Paul" - Port Credit Yacht Club, ON
Attention Brent: "Just a brief note to thank you for your PROFESSIONAL SERVICE and CAREFUL ATTENTION to EVERY DETAIL when we purchased our new sailboat from Michigan. (1987 Freedom 36 Sailboat) Your EXCELLENT SERVICE prompted us to list our current sailboat with your company. (1984 Irwin 31 Citation) We have recommended your services to our friends considering purchasing or selling their sailboats. Good Sailing, Dave & Wilma" - Niagara Falls, ON
Hi Brent: "Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all of your hard work in bringing a 41 ft Gibson Houseboat into Canada for us. Before we contacted you, we didn't even know if it was possible, but you made it happen. She is now in the water and we LOVE her! Since we had to buy it site unseen, you took care of everything: organizing the survey, having her prepared for transportation (in a Canadian December), filing the paperwork for customs, etc. Thanks again for great job!!! Sheila & Dave" - Kemptville, ON
"Hello Brent: I wanted to write a note earlier to THANK YOU for a JOB WELL DONE.....BUT.....I have been having to much fun on my new boat to sit down and write you a note until now. I have to tell you, at first I was a bit skeptical about purchasing a boat from the U.S and the mountain of paperwork I would have to go through, but after speaking with you and now that the transactions have been completed without a hitch, I would not hesitate to do it again or to recommend someone else to do it. You made the difference of me being able to get a boat this year or not. I was to busy to take the time to look for the right vessel and want to thank you for finding me the perfect one. My wife loves our 36 foot Carver and so do I. Since you were able to take care of everything else, do you know of anyone that will stay at my house and clean the pool? Thanks again, Grant & Wendy" - Niagara Falls, ON
Dear Brent: "As you know it was extremely difficult to find the right person for a custom 2002 Cobalt 360 Performance Cruiser without an arch in a world where every boater wants a radar arch. In fact you were able to identify two individuals and screened them and then delivered the right buyer for our boat. Throughout this whole process you were PERSISTENT, PROFESSIONAL and PAYED SPECIAL ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL and DELIVERED to both the seller and the buyer EXTREME SATISFACTION. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND your company's services to anyone considering selling their yacht. Kind regards, George" - Lake Muskoka, ON
"Brent we want to THANK YOU for everything you did in helping us buy our first boat, a 2002 Four Winns 298 Vista. Being from Montreal, we needed help first in finding the right boat and then eventually getting the boat delivered here. You arranged for the sale, transfer of ownership, licensing, insurance, boat survey and the transport. A daunting task, but YOU TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING, with NO HIDDEN SURPRISES ALONG THE WAY. Once again thanks......and like you always said: ....it's all good man.....Eugenio" - Montreal, QC
Brent: "Buying my first boat last season from the States (2001 Wellcraft 3300 Martinique) was a very exciting experience and VERY ENJOYABLE one as well. You were there from the word go, dotted all the I's and crossed all the T's until my boat was delivered to the marina. I would recommend your service to anyone considering purchasing a boat or a yacht!! Sincerely, Warren & Nathalie" - Toronto, ON
"Dear Brent: Just a short note of APPRECIATION for your help in buying and expediting the transport of the 1987 Sea Ray 460 Sundancer we purchased in the USA and shipped to Canada. Your help in negotiating the final purchase price resulted in SAVINGS of over USD $20,000. What I APPRECIATED MOST was the FREQUENT STATUS UPDATES on both the purchase and the shipping and border crossing. If the opportunity comes up again to buy another vessel, I shall be in touch. Yours truly, Francis" - Toronto, ON
Hi Brent: "Just a note to say THANK YOU for the GREAT SERVICE in handling the purchase of our 2004 Sea Ray 200 Select. I know the details of IMPORTING the boat and trailer from the STATES were complicated, but all we had to do was sit back and wait for delivery. You and your company were referred to us and I would not hesitate to do the same to a prospective buyer; they would be super grateful. Thanks again, Ed & Sherry" - Balsam Lake, ON
