He has an enormous amount of expertise and helped guide us through our first boat purchase. Unfortunately, when we bought the boat, the marina wasn't so kind. Richard took time out of his busy schedule to help my husband with the collection of the vessel. He dropped everything for THREE hours to help move the boat to another marina and ensured a safe boat transport . He went above and beyond! This was even two weeks after we closed on the boat and he had no obligation to do this. He really is a great person and we highly recommend him. Thanks, Richard!

Started a trailer brake project and needed to replace 2 drums and 2 hubs. Thought about ordering…read moreonline but most venders a week out for delivery and shipping was pretty steep due to weight. I stopped by outboard motor shop and they had a set of 10" drums on the shelf as well as a set of hubs. Talked to Matt in parts and he gave me a screaming deal on everything. Nice shop with a selection of most boat and trailer parts. Needed brake line kit as well, but what they had did not fit my need. No biggy, I well ordered that from amazon 1 day delivery. If looking for a tough to find part or have project don't forget about this shop. They got some of everything and may have that hard to find part or piece.

A few years ago they sold us a boat that was not at all appropriate for the SF Bay waters and they overcharged us. (I later found a price sticker on the boat with a lower price). We were neophytes at the time. Live and learn! One reason that I go back is that they are the only Boston Whaler (a great boat) dealer in town.

They represented both buyer and seller in my transaction and I felt they strongly favored the buyer. As a seller you are in a weak bargaining position because of the monthly berthing fee. I had to pay for equipment that was not included in the original offer to sell, and I was told that I should "negotiate" the county taxes coming due directly with the buyer, as they did not address that in the contract. A more honest answer would have been to tell me that I'm on the hook for more than a year of the buyer's tax liability according to state law. I would not sell a boat through Farallone Yacht Sales again.

This praise is for Arin Jeffers - a truly amazing broker and a wonderful human being!…read more I just bought an AMAZING Tayana 37 Pilothouse, "Bella Brisa", that was listed at Atomic Tuna yachts! She is in amazing condition - the credit for this goes to the previous owner Mr. Warner - he is another amazing individual! But THIS write-up is about Arin... From the very beginning, Arin has been nothing but STELLAR! When the yacht I wanted to look at was already sold, he recognized my desires immediately and encouraged me to look at Bella. As I said, she turned out to be the nicest boat of her age I have EVER seen (and I've seen a LOT of them). As I could tell from the listing that she would be something unique, I asked Arin for the earliest date possible to see her - August 9th (2025). When that day came, Arin moved items around in his schedule to accommodate me, and met me at the pier exactly as he had promised. He recognized that I was someone who needed time alone to look things over and he gave me time, and carte blanche to look deeply into Bella's pockets. I spent the better part of two hours, and Arin didn't blink or flinch once. He knew I had fallen in love. And I truly had - at 37 years old, Bella didn't have a mark on her and was equipped better than any boat I had owned before. I told him, even before the survey, that I wanted her, but he already knew, and had already contacted a highly sought-after surveyor - Andy Schwenk - to give him the heads up. He had known that she was something special when he took her into the brokerage. Arin made ALL of the arrangements for the survey: contracted the yard, contracted the surveyor, arranged for the owner to be there to answer any questions. The survey was completed 9 days later. I was present for the in-water portion, including the sea-trial. Unfortunately, I couldn't be present for the hauled portion of the survey - it had to be rescheduled because of a travel-lift failure on the original date of survey. So, Arin took charge and made videos for me of the haul-out and survey, so I could see how it was performed. As expected, the survey came back SPOTLESS - literally. There wasn't a single defect in her hull ANYWHERE! And her topsides looked just as good! In fact, it was the cleanest survey I've ever seen - including those of boats that were much younger. NOTE: My diver (David Laird) confirmed all those results two months later - told me he loves diving this boat because it's always SO clean. Knowing that would be the result of the survey, Arin had already been working on getting the title company going, and advising me of all the things I must do to complete the sale. By October 31st, I was the proud owner of Bella! Arin had already arranged a slip for me at the brokerage. He even helped the previous owner move Bella into that slip when she had to be moved out of the previous owner's marina, and I couldn't be there. A BIG thank you goes our to Mr. Warner and Arin for that one! November 7th, ONE month after I had first seen her, My friend Scott and I sailed Bella to Westpoint Harbor, where she now sits in her new home! I CAN'T say enough good about Arin Jeffers! He is truly amazing - selfless, professional, knowledgeable, ethical, kind, and patient - all the things a truly wonderful broker should be! Bravo! I will continue to maintain contact with Arin - I'm sure we will know each other for a long time to come! My name is William. Feel free to call me at 719-440-3045 if you have any questions you'd like to ask!

On top of that it was a bad recommendation, as the leech is too big for a Dutchman. It was after I tried to get help with the product 1 year later that I received "the cold shoulder" and was basically told to do the work myself or pay some unreasonable fee to get the lines installed. The repair and battens were fine. Burning me on supporting the $$$$$$$ Dutchman is what prompted the single star. Hopefully this is more clear, as I don't want you to think I'm an unreasonable customer. I was just *$#@% OFF at NOT getting support for a product that should have never been recommended for my sail. It wouldn't surprise me that you don't have a record of that interaction. I will say that was 2 years ago, and hopefully an isolated incident for your business.
