Alex (shop manager) was extremely responsive and communicative in regard to what would be my best options to get me back out on the water. Their team of mechanics are all great dudes and know their craft. The pricing was neither affordable or outrageous, however, they provided quality work in a timely manner. Regency has earned my follow up boating repair/servicing business and I'd be happy to recommend them to anyone (especially Honda or Yamaha folks). Thanks again to Alex and the whole Regency team!

I had an excellent experience with Naos. The training was hands-on, well organized, and gave me the…read moreconfidence to safely operate the boat. Captain Lori was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure I understood not only how to handle the boat, but also navigation, safety, docking, and anchoring. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional, and you can tell they genuinely want their members to be successful on the water. After completing the training, I felt comfortable signing up for the PowerTime membership on Rusty Nail. If you're thinking about getting into boating, I highly recommend Naos. It was one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I've had, and I can't wait to get back out on the water!

After searching and viewing several sailboats from Ventura to San Diego Vaughn helped me close the deal on a boat in Dana Point. He set up all the inspections and sea trial prior to closing the deal and I am happy to announce that I will be sailing the boat to its new home in Long Beach this weekend. Thanks Vaughn!

This is by far the best brokerage we've ever worked with and you won't find a more trustworthy…read morebroker anywhere. Win Weaver and Manny Barsegyan are so amazing and go above and beyond the call of duty. Win was super generous with his time and knowledge on what needs to be done to a boat we are buying through BKYS and Manny has been simply amazing in all of his communications and attention to detail. We live 2+ hours away so Manny was so incredibly thoughtful and took the time to take a bunch of videos of the boat under way so we could feel comfortable with the boat before making our offer. We trust Win's judgement without reservation and we feel incredibly comfortable with the purchase because of both of these amazing gentlemen's efforts. Truly amazing people at Bob Koepple Yacht Sales!

Last summer bought a low end power boat from John Luft at this brokerage. My advice - if you…read morepurchase a boat, make sure the broker doesn't live on the boat next to it! When I sold my fishing boat I gave the buyer every spare part, accessory, etc I had. This broker scored every little thing off this boat that wasn't nailed down. I asked about the little stuff I noticed on survey and he said if it wasn't on the contract it isn't part of the boat. Surprised he didn't keep the furniture. Theres a nice davit on the boat and a very nice RIB tied to his boat. I was never offered the chance to purchase/negotiate that, and who knows what else he scored. Documents/legal/time/nogotiations were fine although he tried to brush aside some needed repairs. Overall a soured experience and I learned a lesson to be more mindful of my surroundings. Brokerage was fine but I recommend using a different agent.

Highly Recommend!…read more Gerry Purcell did an outstanding job in every aspect when I purchased a 36 Aft Cabin Carver this year. He arranged for the boat to be examined, arranged negotiations for a fair price, accommodated me while in town to view the boat, expertly completed all necessary paperwork. The deal would not have been possible without his help and continued to support me after the sale, by providing a slip for several months at a very reasonable rate. Gerry knows boats and discloses everything about the boat he is listing, he will even tell you of potential problems and what you need to do to ensure your yacht is safe before getting underway. My boat had some deferred maintenance, he told me everything I would need to do to get the boat underway again. I cannot think of anyone better equipped to put together a yacht purchase, his ethics are beyond reproach, he really makes a deal work for both the seller and the buyer. I'm not sure what happened with the other Yelp rater that gave Gerry a One star, other then he selectively listened to the boat description before he flew out...in other words, I'm sure Gerry disclosed fully any issues before the potential buyer flew out to view the boat.

After it went live, I went more than a week without any response despite repeated calls and texts, and at least one lead was missed during that time. When a prospective buyer found my boat independently, I offered to reschedule the showing so the broker could attend; he told me he was unavailable for several days and instructed me to show it myself -- then later suggested I'd breached the contract for doing exactly that. We mutually agreed to cancel the listing. I'd encourage other sellers to look elsewhere.

Steve Curran, "principal yacht broker", totally dropped the ball on us. We were serious buyers and…read morehe just went silent after being presented with a list of questions about a boat we were very interested in. He was okay on the phone on the initial inquiry, gave a couple of one word answers to messages we sent him like asking if he'd received our email, and then nothing. We live 400 miles away and the asking price was $38k, so maybe he just figured we weren't likely buyers or it wasn't worth the effort for a smaller commission. Someone is really hoping to sell that boat and Steve would be taking a commission and has contracted to try to sell this boat and is apparently not wanting to do any actual work to do so. I think this is lazy at best and violation of contract in actual fact. Someone is paying slip fees while this boat goes unsold and we've moved on to another boat.
