It's taken more than 2 years to write this review but if it helps someone else who is struggling to find an honest and reputable Yacht Broker to assist them with buying or selling, it will be worth it. Eric Hermann owner of Executive Yacht & Ship Brokers is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, a true professional. He represented us on the purchase of our Meridian 459 motor yacht, from a San Diego seller. Even though his office is in Channel Islands Harbor, Eric was present in SD for the sea trial, haul out & survey. We were unable to be there but Eric sent pictures (and even video) of the process, Eric was an invaluable resource start to finish, from previewing other boats in SoCal to recommending an awesome maritime attorney and closing escrow on the perfect boat for us! He was patient during our journey and we never felt pressured whatsoever. Even after closing he has always been happy to answer questions and provide reliable referrals and recommendations for marine technicians and resources for various maintenance projects and upgrades we have made. This is our first motor yacht but with Eric's expertise, years of experience and willingness to provide information, support and professional advice along the way we have never felt there was anything we couldn't handle. We are beyond grateful and will definitely be clients for life! read more
