In 2020, we decided it was time to upgrade our sailboat. In 2021, when we looked at our first used sailboat, we met Yacht Sales West broker, Richard Hargreaves. In spring 2022, we looked at several boats in Victoria with YSW broker, Max Shaw. Finally in fall 2022, we successfully purchased a 2002
Nauticat 42, working with YSW broker Mike Carkeek. At the same time, Richard quickly sold our previous 1986 Nauticat 40.
Having looked at a lot of other boats with a lot of brokers over our two year search, we have very high regard for the service and support we received from all three YSW brokers. Their combined knowledge of sailboats, their understanding of the complexity of the sale process and their TLC towards us as they helped us through this process is commendable. They really rolled up their sleeves and got to work for us. We always felt that our concerns and desires were heard, challenges were quickly addressed and good humour prevailed! They pampered us and our old boat buyers, making sure all was in good order. Whether you are selling or buying, new or used, we recommend Yachts Sales West as your brokers of choice.
