Incredibly, my sailboat sold within a week, and for more than I originally paid for her just a few years earlier! Sonia was incredible, as she was happy to come to my location on Bowen Island to perform all the preliminaries before posting the boat for sale. Prior to contacting Thunderbird, I had tried to sell my sailboat on Craigslist, and for an entire year, I wasted up to an hour on each whinging tire-kicker who actually had zero interest on following through on a purchase. The Craigslist Hall of Fame: - Wanted a $10K reduction in price, as they weren't pleased with the Yanmar 2GM. - The American who wanted me to sail the boat to Seattle for him...for free. -The couple who offered chump change, and also wanted me to sail the boat for them to Shelter Island. -The 'Hard-of-Thinking' time waster who contacted me on multiple occasions, not realizing that he had already seen the boat. Working through Sonia, we avoided all this horrific nonsense, and as mentioned, the boat sold in under a week!

We just bought a 30-foot sailboat, a 2002 Hunter 306, from Specialty Yachts, and Darren was the…read moreagent we had worked with. From the first contact to date, even after weeks after acquiring our new boat, Darren has been so helpful in many ways. He educated us about our new vessel, including what we should be watchful for. He lined up for a mechanical inspector and a surveyor. He helped us to get a dodger and a bimini put on and he was there at 7am in the morning on the day I sailed her away to our slip in Blaine. Darren is extremely knowledgeable about the boats, the surrounding cruising areas, and boat mechanics, but the most importantly, he is very willing to provide the best experience he can acquiring a boat, this was the real value for us. After working with him through this transaction, we will not sell or buy another boat without involving Darren at Specialty Yachts !!!

Had to bring retired mechanic. Finally they called me to come, showed disassembled engine, pointed to worn out part, refused to repair due to the age, reasoned that some parts are not manufactured any more (though possible to buy), charged $800 and refused to provide an expert opinion why there was water ingress in the engine block. This whole ordeal took almost a year.

At a minimum, they should provide me with some compensation to account for their negligence. They need to retrain or fire whichever incompetent tech worked on my boat.

A very poor experience when it counted most: closing, signing, and delivery…read more I give the broker a little slack because he was out of town during the closing, however the person who he left to handle the closing was incompetent (new), unresponsive, and seemed annoyed that I would expect updates and follow through on her part. Closing was also delayed due to multiple errors on the purchase/sale agreement and customs paperwork like incorrect HIN#, missing documentation/licensing for the tender, and failure to disclose the need for/and arrange for a customs broker to facilitate to the transfer of the yacht into US waters! Now the yacht has been delivered I have an inflatable tender that does not hold air and an outboard that does not start; a 2001 42' yacht with a stbd engine that won't start without bridging power from the port engine; fresh water pumps that won't pump fresh water; $10,000 in earnest money that was supposed to be refunded directly from the broker a week ago, but has yet to be received. The surveyor also bears part of the blame here, but no call from the broker to follow up post-closing is just unacceptable.
