What a great outfit! I am a small boats enthusiast, and I have a particular yen for wooden boats,…read morebecause I think they're classier than plastic. CLC is the nuts. I own one CLC17 kayak which I bought from a guy in Rhode Island. It's big and a little unwieldy, but light enough that I can get it up onto my Subaru alone. In the water, it does everything well except turn. I've taken it in Boston Harbor out past the light, and I've paddled it through 8" deep streams in late summer. It handles both well, and is really very fast. It's also enormous, and can hold lots of gear. The cockpit is roomy. As a wedding gift to my wife, I also built an Oxford Shell sculling single from a kit I bought from CLC. This was my first ever boatbuilding project, and close to my first woodworking experience at all. I was intimidated, but the kits make a ton of sense. All the wood is precut to the right shape, so you don't tend to screw up and waste expensive wood, but it still feels like you're the one who built the boat. If you read the directions carefully and take your time, just about anyone can do it. They're also very good with customer support, both business-wise and with boatbuilding advice. Now that it's done, the boat it absolutely beautiful, and it rows like a dream. The whole thing was accomplished for less than half what a new fiberglass shell would have cost, and for about 1/10th what a comparably beautiful wooden boat would have cost to buy. Can't say enough for these guys!

When we decided to move from Baltimore to the Delaware shore, we resigned ourselves to ending our…read moreforty years of cruising the Chesapeake in larger boats. But the boat bug bit us once again and we bought a Grady White 285 to use here so we could once again enjoy getting back out on the water. Since we're not fishermen, we soon found out that there was not much for us to do by boat in this area, so after a few years we reluctantly put our boat on the market. Matt and Deanna were referred to us as the best brokers in the mid-Atlantic area, and after our experience with them, we'd definitely agree with that opinion. Every aspect of the sales experience was handled extremely professionally, and each piece of advice Matt gave us proved well worth taking. I've bought and sold many boats over the years, and this experience was by far the best one ever with any yacht broker I've ever used. From the decision about pricing and sales strategy all the way to the final paperwork and settlement process, we felt that we were very well represented at each step. We would wholeheartedly recommend Yacht Brokers of Annapolis to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat. They outshine their competition in every way.
