“Many yacht brokers can be generous, accommodating, and pleasant when financial times are good. However, it takes a very special broker to do that when times are not, as in the last Recession. In 2008, when we were selling our beloved Island Packet 380, there were very few buyers and the few offers we did get were extremely low. Ed and Debbie were always upbeat and patient, helping us through a very trying time for over a year. They went the extra nautical mile to help sell her, and in the end, their persistence and expertise paid off. Ed is simply the best, most honest and trustworthy broker we have ever encountered. That’s why, a few years later, we bought our Island Packet 350 from them and just this year, my sister in law bought their Island Packet 38 from them.”
