Sherry was flexible as we picked out dates and times and was also flexible with letting us add another 3 people to our group. She was thorough with her preparation-had everything we could possibly need, from coolers for drinks she brought with her to a little water tank to clean our feet with at the end and more!-and she explained everything before and during the tour in depth. She was super friendly, fun, and overall amazing to spend time with. We loved our experience so much that midway through our tour we already knew we would be returning for more!

I originally contacted Frank Wyatt to perform a survey after finding a Sea Ray 330 that we wanted…read moreto purchase and after reading some good reviews. They scheduled Dean Ford to come out and perform the survey. I cannot say enough good things about Dean. While I consider myself fairly savvy on boats, I learned a ton just in a short while talking with Dean and was saved thousands when he quickly identified a potential mechanical issue. He helped to connect me with a mechanic who was able to come out quickly and confirm that the boat would have needed tens of thousands in work. Due to the detailed examination from Dean, we ended up passing on that vessel. Dean was so professional and great to work with that we called him again when we found another boat we wanted to purchase. This time he drove all the way up to Long Beach to assist us and performed another very thorough examination of the vessel. He was able to identify some problem areas and gave us great advice on how best to resolve the issues and what we should expect by way of costs. We ended up purchasing the boat on his advice and could not be happier. Later on down the road when we ran into an electrical issue I was able to connect with Dean who helped point me in the right direction to get it resolved quickly and efficiently. I appreciated working with the office team at Frank Wyatt but truly could not have asked for anything more in working with Dean Ford. He is a wonderful Captain and excellent marine surveyor. I highly recommend him as you will absolutely be in great hands!

BEFORE YOU SELL OR BUY A BOAT READ THIS!!!…read more DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU LIST OR BUY!!! Read at the bottom slimy sales tactics that cost a seller or buyer dearly. BEFORE YOU LIST OR BUY: find the best 3 surveyors or highly reputable Marine mechanics. That is hard to do as well. There's probably only 1 in any given area that works for the client, not the broker. You can find one in another area and ask them for a referral. Kells Surveyor (the Uncle or owner is apparently the best in San Diego) They know who the excellent trustworthy Boat agents and brokers are. I like to check my intuition and I was spot on about Doug. ABOUT "DOUG VILLEPIQUE WITH YACHT FINDERS-Windseekers San Diego" I don't write a review unless absolutely above and beyond service. Have you ever felt you needed to take a shower after meeting a boat broker? Not only will you feel fresh after working with Doug Villepique at Yacht Finders-Windseakers, but you will also feel like you just came out of the spa. He sells like a Doctor, more concerned for the client. In every business, there are 2% that stand out among the others. DOUG STANDS OUT!!!! If you are selling your boat, get her down to San Diego. He's the type of agent you want even if it takes you a month to get your boat to him! Doug Villepique * fights for his clients on both ends (A TRUE PROFESSIONAL)! * Returns calls, texts, and emails faster than any broker I have ever worked with. Sorry, that doesn't say much. His response time is usually less than an hour unless he's on a sea trial or with a client to which he let me know in advance. * Represented his listing in the highest light. NO BS, no smoke blowing * He produces trust. * He was the first agent I felt good on every turn. * Doug may be young but he's an old salty, with far more experience than one could most agents in the business, single-handed across oceans on a tiny boat, repaired in the worst conditions, he loves the sea! * When I found something, Doug wouldn't do the common line, this is an old boat what do you expect trying to make me feel bad for asking? He had several ways to repair before replacing and acted like an encouraging mentor. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SELL OR BUY!!! SLIMEY SALES x - Dock fees and repairs is a way listing agents make $$$. 1 agent complained I left 12 voicemails before returning my call. I left 1 per week for 3 months. I saw a Hans 44, wanted to offer, and was told they'd let me next week after repairs. 5 calls later, for a 1.5 months, I finally hired a buyer's agent to call, no returns, I gave up. She still sits costing the seller. Apparently, he makes more on dock fees and repairs. (he has a rep from agents) (SF Bay) x - OOOH look at this drawer, or cooler or shiny BBQ! Seriously? What about the hole in the boat? (SD broker) x - Recommends a bad surveyor to miss very important details. (SD broker) yes beware of surveyors. x - The commissions are small so it is common to represent both sides, but one lied to me and was playing me against another buyer. (long beach broker) (broker hadn't even looked at his listing for 3 months, new nothing about the boat, and it was in the same marina.) I heard from a sd broker his reputation precedes him. Some agents won't work with him. So you lose potential buyers. x - wanted to make an offer, broker didn't return calls. Boat sold 3 weeks later. SF x- JUST MAKE SURE YOU RESEARCH YOUR SELLING BROKER AND BUYING BROKER. Ask surveyors or mechanics with excellent reputations. They know the good ones and slimy ones. Doug and broker yacht finders has a very good reputation for integrity. x - as a realtor broker, the California government will close a brokerage, sue, and arrest if needed, licenses revoked. Boat brokers seemingly can get away with a lot before a license is removed. And when I say a lot, I mean way too much. It takes other brokers not the buyer or seller to remove a broker's license. x - tell you what you want to hear your boat is worth, just to get the listing. Boats are rarely going to sell for what we sellers think they are worth and usually about 20% what we have put into them. Figure out how long you wish to take to sell your boat and what market you are in. A good broker is honest and a bad broker will tell you what you want to hear. While I have sold boats for more than I paid and cost to fix, that is rare. I sold one boat for a profit, but one market was offered 50% more but I wasn't ready to sell. When I was I, I had to price according to the market. I know one owner who absolutely won't drop his price. His 44 foot boat hasn't sold for 13 years. A sitting boat is bad for the boat.

He had a time of his life and that made the trip the time of mine that I wont forget.

The cook made excellent burritos and think patty cheeseburgers. But we aren't here to talk about the food. The evening our boat went out, Daiwa Pacific just came back from a full day trip and limited on small football sized yellowfins. At this point we were very excited. We got bait and there's been shortage of sardines for all the boats and so we were fully stocked up on achovies. Our overnight trip yielded 15 yellow fin for 22 anglers and nothing else... while other boats on the same overnight dates hauled in over 100 yellow fin each. In hindsight, it does seem we trolled more than usual trying to find patties. But my 2 star review here is for the lack of captain knowledge. I don't know how other boats were able to haul in a great load while we got stuck on most of catches on trollers. If it weren't for the deckhand and the cook, this would have been a one star. Not to mention, our numbers weren't even posted in the fish counts in H&M portal. There are other charters out there that are more consistent, so if you want the fishing experience, pay the extra $20 person and venture on another charter.
